Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 262 - 250 The Mysterious Origins of Hyperion_1

Hyperion sat on the couch in front of the short-legged long table in the center of the hall, her gaze fixated on the Saintess before her and the murals behind her, falling silent after a while.

In this ethereal palace, forged by thousands of years of belief, when the faint natural light shone through the window lattices and hit the white embossments, the variously shaped divine figures seemed to glimmer, giving her the illusion that they were performing ancient legends.

"Isatia is the name of my mother."

Hyperion admitted after a pause, nodding her head.

Although she had never heard of the name Talia, her father once told her that her mother’s real name is Isatia.

Hyperion felt that since the Bingxue Witch asked this question, she must already have a suspicion, and there was no need to deceive her.

Besides, the Bingxue Witch is the one who can help her now, she should try to trust her.

"As expected."

On the other side of the table, the Bingxue Witch showed no emotional change after hearing her confirmation. It seemed as though she already knew when she saw Hyperion in person, just a while ago,

"You are a princess of the Demon Race."

"?"

Hyperion pointed at herself, surprised and confused.

"Princesses Isatia and Talia are both missing, so you are the only one left of the Demon Royal Family."

The Bingxue Witch explained lightly.

"This..."

Hyperion was momentarily confused.

She never expected her mother to have such a status.

According to her father, her mother was mostly a naïve and innocent girl. Although that was just her acting as a human, she played the role so well that even Duke Migaya could not determine how much of it was real and how much was fake.

As for the demon named Talia, Hyperion had never even heard of her.

"At this point, the only Great Demon Clan members who have definitively survived, including me, are seven."

The Bingxue Witch continued to say in a flat tone,

"All of the Great Demon Clan from the War Party have fought till their deaths. The surviving members didn’t wish to participate in the war. If they find out that you are Isatia’s daughter, they may or may not give you some respect."

"Did you know that your mother Isatia has a sister named Talia?"

The Snow Witch sighed.

"My father never mentioned it."

Although Hyperion had roughly inferred the relationship between the two princesses from the previous conversation, she still shook her head.

She had just found out today that she surprisingly had an aunt whose whereabouts were unknown.

"One of the Great Demons in the prison is very close to your Aunt Talia. If she knows about your blood ties with Talia, she wouldn’t give you a hard time. Instead, she would try her best to protect you. That’s why she’s our rescue target."

The Snow Witch took out several drawings from the book, spread them on the table, each depicting several Great Demons.

"Most importantly, she has the abilities; she’s an excellent Demon Doctor and coordinator. Once the war breaks out, whether it’s holding the lines at the rear or leading the rear end, she holds an irreplaceable significance."

However, as Hyperion listened to the Snow Witch’s explanation and looked at the paintings on the table, she felt more and more that something was wrong.

She had seen her mother’s photos at home, which were not as abstract as the ones in the drawings.

But she didn’t dare to ask who drew these images. If they were drawn by the Snow Witch herself, it would be pretty awkward.

"It’s a pity that Talia has disappeared. After rescuing the Great Demon, she might want to immediately go in search for Talia. You might have to help convince her to stay and assist Aestheland Kingdom first. We will promise her that we will provide leads to Talia no matter how difficult."

The Snow Witch said helplessly.

If it wasn’t for the fact that there was some hope in Hyperion of getting the help of the Great Demon, she wouldn’t have planned to infiltrate the Imperial Prison.

"What about the other two Great Demons?"

Hyperion remembered that the Snow Witch had just mentioned that there were three Great Demons in the prison.

Those who were once known as the Great Demon Clan in the Demon World would have been at least of the eighth-order or higher, and each held a significant position in the Demon Clan.

"Don’t bother about controlling those two. They are actually loyal subjects of the Demon Clan, just more conservative."

The Snow Witch seemed to have very little intersection with those two demons. Her tone became a lot more distant when she talked about them.

To her, the two princesses were old acquaintances with good relations.

Although the other two Great Demon Clans also possess innate magic that is comparable to the Blood Clan Authority, they are unlikely to be willing to fight for foreign races, and can only become an unstable factor on the battlefield.

Unless absolutely necessary, the Snow Witch would not want to take the considerable risk of freeing them too.
