"Kill his own father?"
Hearing Cris's words, even Rozen was slightly taken aback.
And if Rozen was like this, Emilie, who was present, was even more shocked.
"What did you say?" Emilie said in extreme astonishment, "You said that Lord Xevai was killed by Zeth?"
It seemed that even Emilie did not know about this matter.
"What is going on?"
Rozen frowned and asked Cris.
Cris immediately showed a very hesitant expression, as if she was unwilling to reveal the significant secret in her heart.
However, today, Cris had already learned many secrets.
So, perhaps it was time for this secret to be unveiled as well.
Thus...
"Five years ago, the leader of the Armored Beetles wasn't Zeth Wiegert, but his and Elis's father—Xevai Wiegert."
Cris revealed this hidden truth.
"Lord Xevai was the head of the Wiegert family, a fairly famous noble family in our original world. Later, under Lord Xevai's leadership, the entire family migrated through the 'Gate' and came to this world."
Cris was once Lord Xevai's personal maid and had known Elis since childhood. The two had a deep bond, and even after arriving in this world, when Cris lost her magic and only had jutsuryoku, Elis never abandoned her, treating Cris as a close friend.
At that time, because the entire Wiegert family migrated together, nearly half of them passed the test of the 'Gate,' retaining their human forms and gaining jutsuryoku and rationality. As the head of the Wiegert family, Xevai used the power of many humanoid Armored Beetles to unify the humanoid Armored Beetles in this world and controlled most of the Armored Beetles, becoming the leader of the Armored Beetle faction.
"But Lord Xevai was not a person fond of conflict. His purpose in crossing the 'Gate' was not to conquer new lands, but to seek a peaceful place to live. Perhaps it was because of this ideal that we were able to pass the 'Gate's' test and retain our human forms, with nearly half of us keeping our magic, making us the strongest force in the Armored Beetle faction at the time."
Cris's voice echoed slowly, filled with nostalgia.
"And that lord's actions were influenced by the Wiegert family's long-standing family creed."
Join hands as friends, build peace together.
This was the Wiegert family's creed, which emphasized friendship and peace.
With this in mind, Xevai sought to end the long war with the human faction and proposed a peace negotiation.
Suddenly coming into contact with beings who called themselves humanoid Armored Beetles, the humans in this world were also greatly shaken. Led by Vebel, the humans, desiring an end to the long war, eventually agreed to the peace talks.
On the day of the peace talks, Cris, as Lord Xevai's personal maid, also attended, but Elis was not present.
Originally, Elis should have attended the talks as well, but due to a limit on the number of participants and concerns that the human faction might be ambushed, the Armored Beetle camp sent only a very small number of people to put the human camp at ease.
"The main participants from the Armored Beetle faction were led by Lord Xevai and Zeth of the Wiegert family, along with members of the allied Kaiser family."
Cris said as much.
"The Kaiser family?"
Rozen immediately reacted to this name.
Because this surname wasn't the first time Rozen had heard it.
"Yamier Kaiser...?"
That was Yamier's surname.
"That's right." Cris nodded and said, "The Kaiser family, like the Wiegert family, also migrated to this world, but they weren't as lucky as the Wiegert family. Most of their members turned into Armored Beetles, and even the head of the Kaiser family became one. So, the young Yamier took over the family affairs. With her exceptional leadership and the deep affection she garnered from her subordinates, the Kaiser family became a force strong enough to ally with the Wiegert family."
This was also why Yamier was called "Princess" by Gregor and others.
"On the other hand, the representative from the human faction was led by Annerose Vebel, who appeared with many guards and officials to negotiate with us."
After centuries of conflict, it was the first time that humans and Armored Beetles stood together on the same stage for peace talks.
If the talks succeeded, humans and Armored Beetles would walk the path of peace together, and the long-standing feud between the two races would come to an end.
Unfortunately, the talks failed.
"During the talks, the human faction suddenly launched an attack on the Armored Beetles, and Lord Xevai was killed. The peace talks collapsed, and Zeth took control of the Armored Beetle faction, continuing the eternal conflict with the humans. This is the widely known story within the Armored Beetle faction."
Emily said this much.
However, this was likely only Zeth's version of the story.
"I, as Lord Xevai's personal maid, witnessed him lying in a pool of blood and learned from him that the true killer was not the humans but Zeth."
Cris's voice trembled slightly at this point.
"Lord Sudnay entrusted this truth to me and asked me to take care of Elis and fight for the human faction to stop Zeth's tyranny. But I had already lost my magic and only had jutsuryoku. I couldn't possibly fight against the many Collapse Force wielders among the humanoid Armored Beetles, let alone Zeth."
In this situation, Cris could only act as an undercover agent, continuously providing information about the Armored Beetle faction to the human faction, hoping to form a cooperation.
Cris didn't even dare to tell Elis about this.
Because Cris knew that with Elis's admiration for her brother, she would never believe her words and might even see her as a traitor and eliminate her on the spot.
Helpless, Cris could only continue to fight alone.
"So, that's how it is?"
Emilie's face turned somewhat grim.
Obviously, even Emilie had been deceived by Zeth.
"Zeth has gone astray, no longer like the previous heads of the Wiegert family who valued peace and tranquility. He now only wants to dominate this world, placing humanoid Armored Beetles above humans and ruling all of humanity. For this, he even killed his father, deceived everyone, and sabotaged the peace talks to continue the conflict between the two factions."
Cris's voice became resolute.
"So, I must uphold Lord Xevai's last wish, helping the human faction resist the Armored Beetles."
This was Cris's noble cause.
Apart from this, Cris would not follow any other course of action.
"In that case, let's expose Zeth to the humanoid Armored Beetles."
Emilie immediately suggested.
Cris shook her head at once.
"It's useless. Zeth has immense prestige among the humanoid Armored Beetles. Even Yamier is willing to follow his commands. He has Kirsty, a powerful fighter, by his side. No one would dare to oppose him, and no one would believe us."
This was akin to how Annerose couldn't expose Zeth's humanoid Armored Beetle identity within human society.
In this aspect, Zeth had indeed maneuvered everything flawlessly, leaving no gaps.
"What a true tyrant."
Rozen could only commend him in this way.
However...
"If he weren't this capable, it wouldn't be interesting."
Rozen smirked and looked towards Cris.
Suddenly, Rozen extended his hand in Cris's direction.
"Ah!"
Cris exclaimed in surprise.
