Chapter 248: How The Story Began

After a few moments, drawn in her thoughts, Iris slowly turned her gaze to Xiu, but she saw him looking in Xavier’s direction.

Iris could guess they were now communicating with each other. She waited for them, but when she saw Xiu’s expression slowly stiff, she couldn’t help but interrupt him — afraid these fathers and sons would fight each other.

"F-Father, where do you come from? Impossible you come from this lower realm, right!?" She finally asked him something she wanted to know about Xiu’s origin.

"I come from the upper realm, just like my son, Xavier–" Xiu didn’t continue his words. He was taken aback when he saw Iris’s expression; she gasped in shock.

"U-Upper realm??" Iris remembers Gavriel telling her that he wanted to become a true angel because he tried to ascend to the upper realm — that place belongs to God. Even a half-angel like Gavriel can’t enter that place. If Xiu comes from the Upper Realm, it means Xavier also comes from that place.

Iris narrowed her eyes at Xiu for a few minutes before she turned her gaze to Xavier. Seeing how calm he was now standing with his back facing her, for some reason, she felt like something was stuck in her heart—like there were still many secrets that this man was hiding from her.

After a few moments, she finally talked to him through their mental mind connection, ’Xavier, your father—’ her words stopped as Xavier slowly turned to look at her; she could see a worried gaze in his eyes. She continued, ’Y-Your father is a G-God? Or an angel like Lucian?’

Xavier didn’t utter anything, but his gaze never left her.

Iris was even more curious about his unusual act, which she had never seen before. She asks again, ’I hear only God and Angel could ascend to the upper realm... so you and your father were a God!?’ She had never imagined Xavier was a God, but hearing Xiu’s words, she didn’t know how to react to this new information.

Xavier didn’t answer her curiosity but walked to her and asked her to sleep.

Iris, "..."

She refused, but he insisted.

"Iris, you need to sleep now," Xavier repeated his words while offering his hand to help her stand up. When he saw her reluctant to leave, he continued, "Darling, did you forget you will visit Eric tomorrow morning? We will talk about this later, alright!?"

Looking at Xavier’s seriousness, Iris could only silently sigh and agree. She must rest now because she will visit Eric on the island tomorrow. She can’t break her promise again.

After excusing herself to Xiu, Iris teleports to her bedroom.

...

Xavier felt the need to clarify something with his father. He sat opposite him as their eyes met. He asked, "Father, why did you help me win her heart?"

This matter perplexed Xavier deeply because his father was aware of the cruel past between him and his brother. His father’s assistance would further infuriate his brother, Xyronos.

It was still clear in Xavier’s memory that the unfortunate situation had started when his father had asked him to punish Xyronos because he had created the Demon army and become their king.

However, during Xavier’s task to punish Xyronos, he crosses paths with Iris, triggering the ensuing problem. Xavier never intended to take his brother’s woman, but circumstances compelled him to involve himself with Iris. He willingly embraced this situation as he fell in love with her at first sight.

"My son," Xiu’s voice turns solemn as he looks Xavier in the eyes. "You don’t have to question my actions. What do you have to do now to completely win her heart because—" his words stop when he sees Xavier’s pale face gradually turn dark like he was so angry about something.

"So you are still not sure about that?" Xiu can’t help but shake his head. "Xavier, you have to remember, you don’t have much time because your brother already found her."

Xiu’s sentence was like a slap in Xavier’s face.

"Does he know she is with me?"

"Your brother always knew every time Iris was reborn in this world. But you don’t have to worry because he didn’t know you in this realm and married her..."

Xavier’s frown deepened when he heard that Xyronos had always known where Iris was. For some reason, he felt jealous of him.

"After I help you this time, why are you still jealous of him?" Xiu couldn’t help but comment after he heard what Xavier thought. When he saw Xavier’s sharp gaze, as if he did not feel happy, Xiu couldn’t help but laugh.

"You promised me you would never reread my mind. But you still do that, father!?" Xavier protested.

"Son, I only felt worried about you when I saw your awful-looking face like that." Xiu shook his head as a light laugh echoed in the room. "Stop using that kind of cold expression, or Iris will leave you and run to your lovely brother."

Xavier, "..."

Xiu looked at his son’s unhappy face. He no longer wanted to be here.

"Son, it’s time for me to go somewhere else. Stop begging to see me again because I’m so busy." Xiu stood up from his seat, but before he disappeared, Xavier stopped him.

Xiu frowned, looking at Xavier.

"Father, please stop being involved in my matter with Xyronos anymore," Xavier didn’t want to be entangled with his brother again because he felt exhausted. This time, he will end his matter without his father intervening.

"Do whatever you want, but make sure not to kill him. And also, don’t destroy this realm. I am starting to like this place," Xiu narrowed his eyes at Xavier. "Son, bring her back to the middle realm after you finish your business with your brother..." He waved his hand in the air and vanished.

Xavier couldn’t help but smile when his father showed his true form; it is rare to see him in his original, godly form.

"Yes, Father. I will bring her back as soon as I’m done here..."
