Chapter 568 Motives

"So, who are you?"

After introducing herself, Kathy asked the skeleton in front of her a question.

Upon closer inspection, it was a pheasant-feathered parrot on his abdomen that spoke in his place.

However, the parrot's head was pierced by a purple crystal, which was connected to its white spine.

Although Casey had seen many strange and wonderful powers, this was the first time he had ever seen such a way of using power.

At this moment, the parrot spoke: "I am merely a person who should have died long ago, yet I am cursed by destiny, reduced to this state of neither life nor death. But if you ask me my name in life—"

"I did have a name once, what was it again—Fair, Fair? Sorry, I forgot. But I also had a nickname, I wonder if you—have you heard of the Scarlet Prince?"

Upon hearing the words "Scarlet Prince," Casey's eyes widened immediately.

When she was a child in Whitewood City, Master Jode would patiently impart knowledge to Keshi.

Unfortunately, Cathy was slow to learn and always felt pain whenever she went to Master Jode's place.

Kathy only ever showed interest when listening to Master Jode tell all sorts of stories.

He had certainly heard of the name "Scarlet Prince".

He was a legendary figure, a prince, a city builder, a navigator, and also a king.

It is said that when the Crimson Prince was a warrior, his strength was enough to make even the top knights wary.

Kathy doesn't deny that, as a child, he, like other boys, looked up to the Scarlet Prince: "Are you the Scarlet Prince? Are you Ferdinand Justinian?"

Although Cathy was trying her best to control her emotions, he could still hear the surprise and astonishment in her voice.

"Oh? You recognize me? Ferdinand? — So that's my name."

The strange parrot spoke in a comical voice, its skeletal face devoid of any expression, "But Justinian—oh! I remember, this is my family—so you know my family too?"

Upon hearing this, Casey became extremely serious—was he really the Scarlet Prince?

Kathy nodded: "I know, Justinian, the one with royal blood and sacred fire."

"Once?" the other person said. "You mean, Justinian is no longer royalty?"

"Yes," Casey replied, "the previous dynasty was overthrown, and the current ruler of the continent of Ancent is the Kingdom of Great Classic."

"The Kingdom of Great Classics, huh? —"

The skeleton remained silent for a long time, as if pondering something, before speaking again, "What about Justinian's bloodline?"

"After Eugene Sinclair came to power, he executed most of the people in the country who bore this surname, and only one bloodline of the Principality of the Holy Envoy has continued to this day."

"The Principality of the Holy Envoy?"

"Eugene Sinclair did not overthrow Justinian's rule alone; his most important partner was the Holy Son Gregory of Saint Barentuchelli."

"After their achievements, the two divided the continent of Ancent with the Coolidge Canal as the boundary. Gregory established the Duchy of the Holy Envoy on the east side of Sky Tower Fortress."

The skeleton nodded: "In other words, the bloodline that survived is that of the city of Blazing Sun."

"Yes," Casey nodded.

"Who has been granted a post in Lieyang City?"

“No one,” Casey replied. “It is said that your son inherited Sun City.”

"My son?" The skeleton paused for a moment, then said, "Is that so? I have another son."

Hmm, Casey found it strange. Didn't he know that himself?

But this issue is not crucial.

If what this person said is true, then Kathy really did meet her childhood idol.

Unfortunately, he wasn't too excited at the moment.

As a lord, he must remain rational.

Kathy asked, "So, why did you come to this island?"

"I should be asking you that," the skeleton said. "You said your name is Casey Lines, which means you're of the Lines family bloodline?"

"Um?"

"I haven't met many members of the Lines family. The only one I'm acquainted with is the chivalrous Mobley Lines, but I don't recall any Lines family members having orange-yellow hair."

“This inheritance should be from my maternal grandmother,” Cathy said. “She was a member of the Capello family.”

"Oh! The lewd Capello? They don't even marry within the group, but instead marry their daughters off?"

The parrot let out a few shrill laughs, which made Cathy very uncomfortable. "So you brought a woman to the island so you could satisfy your insatiable lust at any time?"

"My last name is Lines," Casey replied seriously.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. The past is so far removed from our lives that I can only remember things by symbolizing common sense. It might sound exaggerated to you—so, young man Lyons, you said you were a duke?"

"Yes," Casey nodded.

"But how did you find this place?" the skeleton asked. "Isn't it common knowledge that the plateau is far from the ocean?"

But half of my blood flows with the blood of the ocean: "I came here by following in the footsteps of a family from the plateau. They are looking for Fallen Feather Island, and I cannot let them succeed, so I came."

"Judging from your expression, I can tell that the situation on the plateau is very delicate—but to be honest, it's not surprising that the people of the plateau are looking for Fallen Feather Island. It's a blasphemous place, burdened with a heavy mission—is that right? I understand, it must be so. Everything has been restored, the gears have started turning, and people have finally found the primordial blood?"

"Primordial Blood?"

"According to the description, it's something with a unique scent, but it can bring powerful strength."

At this point, Harriet interjected, "You mean spices?"

"You call it a spice?" The parrot's voice was truly strange. "Then it's not surprising. No wonder so many people landed on this island at once."

Have you met anyone else?

"I was merely observing. You're the only person I contacted because the strange iron longsword you possess must have originated from the Lyons Plateau, a crucial location. That's why I chose to meet you. So, those people aren't with you?"

"I came to this island with—with a group of pirates, but they betrayed me," Casey said.

"But there is clearly a regular army on the island," the skeleton said.

Kathy was startled: "That must be someone from the Zorc family!"

It turns out that the Zorc family has also arrived on the island!

Did they succeed? Cathy panicked; she knew she had to hurry.

"I don't know about that; their clothing doesn't have family crests."

Kathy pondered for a moment, then asked the crucial question: "And you, Your Highness the Crimson Prince, why have you come here?"

"Because I'm free-spirited and love freedom, haha, just kidding, of course, it's because I have a daughter."

The skeleton remained expressionless, but Cassie seemed to sense a heavy weight in it. "Because I love her—"
