Chapter 240: Iris’ Real Identity (3)

Iris maintains her smile but inwardly feels thrilled to know about her relationship with Xavier.

"Lucian, please tell me, what was my relationship with Xavier Darkwood in the past?"

Lucian was stunned by her question. He opened his mouth several times but couldn’t bring out any words to answer her. It wasn’t due to an invisible force holding him back, but rather his shock at realizing that this time felt different whenever he tried to respond to Xavier.

’I can actually answer her?’ This realization startled him. Before he arrived here, he had anticipated the same outcome, being unable to provide her with an answer, just like he couldn’t share anything with Xavier.

"Are you certain you want to know?" he asked, noticing her delayed response. He added, "Aren’t you afraid of possible regrets after hearing this!?"

Lucian’s question left Iris deeply concerned. Countless questions flashed through her mind. Why did he say it like that? Was her past relationship with Xavier truly troubling?

Doubt arose in Iris’ heart, and she felt a twinge of fear as she anticipated his response. However, she swiftly pushed aside this fear.

"Please, tell me!" Those were the only words that escaped her lips. Her hand grew cold, and her eyes bore an intense gaze at Lucian.

"You were both engaged—" Lucian’s words lingered in the air. Still, he halted as he witnessed her nervous expression swiftly transform into one of joy.

Lucian couldn’t bring himself to continue speaking, fearing he might shatter her newfound happiness if she knew there was a tragedy behind their engagement. He chose not to reveal the rest, letting her discover it herself.

"Ugh, Lucian! Why did you stress me out like that? I thought Xavier was my enemy in my past life..." Iris took a deep breath to relieve her tight chest.

Despite initially feeling stressed, she was overjoyed and relieved because her imagined scenario had turned out to be true—they were indeed connected and had a romantic relationship. She giggles, can’t wait to tell Xavier about it.

Before long, Lucian finally broke the silence, "Anything else you want to ask, Lady Iris?"

Iris snapped out of her thoughts upon hearing his question faintly. As she looked at him, he appeared ready to leave. "Yes, I have a question."

"You may ask now, your thirty minutes have already passed."

Iris almost laughed at his words. She had assumed he was joking earlier, but she was wrong. He was serious. Gosh!

"Why didn’t Gavriel and the others recognize me?" Her curiosity stemmed from the fact that they were all from the Middle Realm, yet they never seemed to recognize her. This confused her.

"Lady Iris, did you think the Middle Realm was small, like this country?" Lucian smirked as he rubbed his eyebrow in response to her question. "The Middle Realm is a few times larger than this earth."

Iris gasped in surprise.

"And as for Gavriel and the others, they didn’t get to know you. Your status is way above theirs... not everyone can meet you. You are a princess..."

Seeing Lucian call her princess several times made her feel awkward.

She wasn’t used to being addressed that way, especially since she couldn’t remember her past life. If her memories of the Middle Realm returned, her perception of the royal family might change.

At this moment, she was not thinking about that; her mind was busy with Xavier. She couldn’t wait to share this good news with him. Knowing how much Xavier wanted to know about this information, she could guess he would be delighted to hear it.

However, now, something worried her; could she tell him? She knows that a specific power tries to block Xavier from learning about her and their connection in the past.

But Iris has to wait to meet Xavier because Lucian is starting to tell her about her family.

"Your family is huge and powerful. The Grayland Kingdom is a very significant kingdom in the Middle Realm, Lady Iris. You could say they are the first-tier kingdom there..." Lucian told her everything about the Grayland Kingdom.

Iris silently listened while trying to calm herself down; she felt mixed emotions to hear the information about her family.

What surprised her was that Lucian mentioned her sibling. She is the eldest child and has four younger brothers; she is the only girl in her family. And both her parents are still alive.

"Can I go there?" Iris asked after Lucian finished. When she saw his confused expression, as if he was reluctant to answer, she changed her question, "I mean, Lucian... How do you often visit Middle-earth?"

"Well, I can’t go back there as I wish. I can only return to the Middle Realm at a certain time or something important because of my duty here as God Helper’s leader..." Lucian fell silent again, thinking about what to explain next.

After some time, he continues, "Lady Iris, you have to ask Xavier about this..." He didn’t want to give her the wrong information.

"I see..." Iris smiled at Lucian, grateful that this man would share anything with her. "Thank you, Lucian, because you have answered all the questions that have bothered me lately."

"Glad to help."

"Mmm, Thanks..." Iris was surprised to see Lucian smile at her for the first time. But, before reacting, she saw him stand up from his seat.

"Lady Iris, if there is nothing else you want to ask... I will take my leave. I still have things to do now."

"Okay. But, if I want to ask something, can I send you a text message?"

"Sure. You have an invisible phone to communicate with me. You don’t have to ask my permission to text me..."

Iris, "..."

She always sends him a text, but he rarely replies to her. He just responded when she asked about her assignment. If something relates to personal life, he will ignore her.

"Make sure you reply to my Text, Boss..." Iris playfully replied.

Lucian didn’t answer her. He just gave a slight nod before he vanished from the room.
