26 History

Ellie and Edward whispered to each other before replying.

"I'll explain, but you must never leak any of the information I tell you." said Ellie.

Ena nodded in reply, there was no point in her leaking information anyways. Leaning back into her chair, she listened as Ellie started explaining.

"As you already know, the Quintus bloodline is the bloodline that has created the most kings. They were naturally born with leadership, being calm, centered, and their decisive abilities. The kings of the Quintus family was hardworking, they maintained orders, and helped people out which gained the favor of a lot of citizens."

"Not many kings had the qualifications of the king, but the sons of the Quintus family always had the qualifications of a king. However, their daughters were never suited for a princess, due to the daughters being in the shadows of the sons, they often stayed back while the sons took all the fame."

"But the numbers of how much kings the Quintus family produced was irregular, over eighty percent of kings were from the Quintus family. That was when they decided to research on the Quintus family, however, they found nothing that led to them cheating. Which meant they weren't do anything illegal and everything was valid."

"However, Alden changed one day. He began being a bit obsessed with the king saying, "I must become the king no matter what, the people needs me." His eyes turned a bit strange as the days passed, his behavior began to turn abnormal. That was when Edward and I began to become suspicious and started doing research on the Quintus family." said Ellie.

Ena listened attentively throughout the entire explanation, her mind was slowly processing the information she was given. Though she couldn't believe her father was once like this, what would her mother's history be like? She pushed those thoughts away when Ellie started to explain again.

"When it was late at night, we snuck into his residence, and started looking around. Luckily, his parents were in a separate place because of work. We came across a broken down door, naturally we found this suspicious since their residence is luxurious, due to his parents being the king and queen. "

"We were easily able to open the room with my lightning magic, all I had to do was electrocute the locks and everything would open. When we entered the room, everything was covered in a cloth, with dusty books on the shelf. We uncovered the cloths and everything was just books, it was like a library in there."

"What was weird was that the books were filled with blank pages, not even the author or a single letter was in the books. While we were looking through the mini library, we came across a desk with a book. But this book had a title but no author, and there was actually information in the books. The book's title was Belief, it was red with strange designs we knew nothing about. "

"The contents of "Belief" held all the information we wanted to know. Kotoamatsukami, magic to influence one's mind with your will without them even realizing. It was said this ability was given to every son of the Quintus family, history would always be repeated with the bloodline. Opposite genders of twins would be born in every family of the Quintus family." said Ellie.

Ena was familiar with the book and the mini library Ellie was talking about, she often studied in the mini library, and learn new things. She guessed the book Ellie talked about was the same one that she found in the bottom shelf of the library.

"What's more was that the father of their sons would use kotoamatsukami on their son making them want to become the king, which lead to Alden's obsession to become the king. The king would also use kotoamatsukami onto the citizens making the son more favored than the daughter since boys were more superior back in the days."

"Which means that the Quintus family was winning the citizen's favor by using magic, which is illegal in the rule book. We couldn't do anything since we didn't have any prof that they actually cheated since the citizens wouldn't even realize they were being manipulated. By the time we finished looking around, it was almost sunrise."

"When we came back to the mini library the next day, the contents of the book wasn't there anymore. It said, "Do not believe everything you see." After that, Alden's behavior became worse and worse until he started to change a lot. We wanted to help, but we couldn't do anything. History would be repeated, that's what we thought until you were born."

"Everything changed because of your existence, the sister of yours was actually stronger than your brother. She had more qualifications of a king than a princess, at this point of time, she's probably devising plans to save you. I didn't hurt her so you can relax. Even if I said all this, it doesn't mean that the Quintus family is doing anything that makes them evil." said Ellie.

Naturally, Ena didn't know her existence would be interfere with the world this much. She thought her being born would cause some small trouble but the trouble she caused was abnormal. She didn't know her existence actually interfered with this world's history itself. When Ellie said the last line, her attention was now focused on that.

"What makes my family evil?" asked Ena.

Ellie locked eyes with Ena, "What if I told you that your father was the one who planned the kidnapping of your older brother with the Valor family as the main culprit?"

Ena widened her eyes in shock at what Ellie just said, there was no way that would actually happen. If it did, then this fantasy world was something full with twists and turns that she had to go through.

This was simply too much to bear, but Ellie's eyes said that she wasn't lying, everything she's said so far was the truth.

Ena slumped back in her chair in stress, she never expected a single reincarnation to lead to something so complicated.

"So, what is my father planning?" asked Ena.

"You sure you wanna know?"

Ena nodded her head in reply.

"He wants to..."
