The Truth

The Truth


“I…” I didn't even know what words to say at this point.

It felt as if I were some lost orphan child who was told that there was a billion dollars of inheritance waiting for him at home to inherit.

This is definitely unbelievable.

But seeing Mom nodding her head in confirmation, I knew this wasn't a dream at all.

Everything she had said was real.

So… my biological father is the king of the fire realm. The reason Mom had left him was that he was so obsessed with power.

Not only that, but he's also a strong enemy of the seven realms.

Even more shocking to me was Xinger's identity revelation.

No, she should be called Kira now.

I can't believe that the girl before me is the ex-lover Vagamound had previously mentioned.

In her statement, Kira mentioned how she had killed the princess and set me up as the murderer because she was afraid that Vagamound would fall for me, hindering her from completing her mission of stealing the last orbit.

I couldn't hold back my reaction. If it weren't for Vagamound holding me down, I would have gotten up and fought with her.

How could she frame me for a crime I didn't commit?

I mean, she seems so nice and loving. Who would have thought that she's capable of doing such a thing?

“I apologize if I've wronged you in any way, princess. But I was just following the king's order.” Kira lowered her head in apology.

“Don't blame her, Belia. Kira is also a victim here.” Mom said.

“Mom!” I was annoyed at her statement. You had no idea what your daughter went through. Do you know how it feels to be framed up for a crime you didn't commit?

I almost experienced what it feels like to be executed.

Although I know that Mom was unaware of my unexpected travel to the immortal realm, I still couldn't help but get annoyed at the fact that she was supporting Kira.

“Alright, stop shouting. Blame your father for everything.” Mom said.

Vagamound, who had been silent all this while, decided to speak up. “Now that you have made everything clear to Belia, can you tell me about the whereabouts of the six orbits? Since it's not with the lord of the fire realm, then it must be with you.”

“The six orbits are not with me.” Rong shook her head before lowering her head sadly.

“What?” Even the revelation about Kira's identity hadn't gotten a strong reaction from him like this one. Vagamound's heart pounded with panic as he asked, “What do you mean by it's not with you?”

Rong lifted her head at Vagamound before answering. “The six orbits have been sealed into Belia's body.”

“My body?” It was my turn to be confused.

“Yes. Those six black dots that have been on your body since you were a kid—that's where the six orbits are sealed.” Mom shifted her sight to Vagamound and added. “I can't unseal them if you ask me to. Only you can.”

“Then let's take them out. Show me the six dots, Belia.” Vagamound turned to me with urgency.

It seems like he was really in need of those orbits.

How could he not?

That's the lifeline of the whole seven realms. If he could get them in his hand, he would be able to fix the instability going on in the immortal realm.

“I…” My cheeks flushed red at his statement.

What does he mean by showing him the marks on my body? The marks aren't located in one place. They are spread across my body.

There's one below my neckline.

Two, under my bosom. One, on my butt. Two, in between my thighs… If I must show him, I must really get naked.

Gosh! My face turned even redder as I thought about this.

“Ah-hem.” Mom also noticed my dilemma and decided to break the awkwardness. “You should do that privately.”

“Why?” The clueless Vagamound looked at Mom. “We can just do it here.”

“You don't understand.” Mom decided to make it clear to him. “The orbits aren't sealed in one place. They are spread across her body. So if you must unseal them, she would have to get undressed. That's why I said you need privacy for that.”

“Ah.” The innocent Vagamound suddenly felt as if he had been fed plenty of spicy peppers. His face burned red, and he was too embarrassed to take a glance at Belia.

Damn. It's so embarrassing. How could he ask her to show him the dots in front of everyone?

Vagamound's head bowed in embarrassment. “I'm so sorry.”

“It's alright. You two can go inside the bedroom and do what you have to do. We won't disturb you.” Mom said.

“What!” Vagamound lifted his head, his eyes widened at the statement Mom uttered. “But—” I

“Mom is right.” I instantly cut in before he could say his statement. “If getting the six orbits out can save the immortal realm, then I don't mind. I…”

I stood up and looked at Vagamound, who was also looking at me with surprise in his eyes.

“Meet me in my room.” I hurriedly sprinted off to my room, afraid to hear what his reply would be.
