“Indeed… You know, at the start, she swore that she’d never get married till the day she got herrevenge. Still… Love isn’t exactly something we can freely control… I’m sure you’re aware that wewere in a relationship back when we were still studying, right, professor? Though I love her to bits, hadI known that our love would bring this much trouble to our child, I’d have rather died than continuebeing in that relationship with her!” replied Marcel in a slightly remorseful tone as he recalled his past.novelbin
“I’m assuming you said that since you eventually found out that the child would die by the age of ten ifshe failed to avenge her family and obtain a Divine Fruit? I’m guessing you’re also worried that throughher child’s death, Phoebe’s identity could potentially be exposed to her enemies… Did I get that right?”asked Gerald after taking a deep breath.
“Bingo. Truth be told, it wasn’t really a big problem when we found out that she had gotten pregnantback in university. However, once all this was made clear to me, we grew concerned and decided tojust drop out of university to start planning for the child’s future,” explained Marcel.
“So that’s why excellent students like you two suddenly decided to drop out!” replied the professor withan understanding nod.
“Indeed… We’re sorry to have disappointed you, professor, but there was no other way. Had we notdone that, the child’s safety would’ve been at risk!” muttered Marcel.
“I see… Curious question, but did Phoebe know where the Divine Fruit tree was…?” asked Gerald.
Shaking his head, Marcel then said, “Unfortunately, she remembers little about the fruit. After all, shewas very young when she consumed it. The only hint we have is that the tree is located whereheavenly fire descends… You see, the Willows only passed down secrets through word of mouth.Since Phoebe’s mother hadn’t been told where the tree was before the mass assassination, the tree’slocation is pretty much lost. Though Phoebe’s mother did manage to salvage the Willow’s HundredHerbs Almanac and two sets of witchcraft books, none of them had any records about the Divine Fruiteither!”
“With that in mind, all we could do was slowly watch our son grow till he reached the age of ten… Mindyou, he got to that age about ten years ago, yet we still haven’t managed to locate the tree! That aside,about our divorce… You see, someone was interested in creating Yangblood pellets with Phoebe’shelp. Fearing that she would be found, both of us agreed to divorce so that Phoebe could escape withthe pellets while I remained here as a distraction to confuse those who were hunting her down,” addedMarcel.
“Yangblood pellets? Also, you said she hasn’t managed to locate the Divine Fruit tree to this day,correct? With that in mind, your child should be dead. But that doesn’t make any sense! After all, abouta year ago, Phoebe secretly sent me a letter asking for my help to search for the tree!” replied theconfused professor.
“Ah, I forgot to explain that bit. While it’s true that my child who will soon turn twenty should’ve diedyears ago, he’s still alive due to the Yangblood pellets,” said Marcel.
This prompted Darkwind to suddenly say, “I’ve heard that Yangblood pellets can only be completedwhen used together with Yinblood pellets… Once they’re combined, they’ll form a holy medicine knownas Yinyang Blood pellets. Regardless, on its own, a Yangblood pellet is capable of stopping a personfrom growing for fifteen years. Once fifteen years have passed, however, the person must then take aYinblood pellet to stop the effects of the Yangblood pellet and restore the harmony of life.”
“If a Yinblood pellet isn’t taken to regulate the invasion of Yang energy before then, the person’s brainwill rapidly be damaged and they’ll find themselves regressing till the point of death! I know about allthis since I had planned to obtain such pellets and hand them to my descendants. Unfortunately…”muttered Darkwind.
“Well, what Saint Darkwind said is true. My child is currently still alive due to the Yangblood pellet.Unfortunately, since we don’t have any Yinblood pellets, my child’s already becoming slightlydemented. If this goes on, I fear he’ll die in another five years!” replied Marcel.
“I get it now. So you two split up to simultaneously look for Yinblood pellets and the Divine Fruit tree,correct?” asked the professor with an understanding nod.
“Indeed. You see, Phoebe aside, my son’s the only other heir of the witches left alive! It doesn’t helpthat due to complications in the Willow family’s bloodline, she’s only able to give birth once. With all thatsaid, we’ve truly been struggling for our child for most of our lives!”
