Chapter 144: Shadow sad past (a)

Master Yin Ye was really worried about his precious granddaughter. He was her Godfather, after all.

"Sure, go ahead," The Dean instantly handed the unconscious Laila to him.

After Yin Ye made sure that Laila was uninjured and fine, he once again thanked the golden-haired savior and asked for permission to leave. However, he was stopped by him.

"I happen to see the King of Wrath in this little girl. Why's she dressed as a boy. What's she doing in this academy..." Dean Frankenstein asked a bunch of other questions and continued by saying, "I hope you know what is going on and can give me an appropriate answer otherwise I can't let her remain in the Academy. I am currently the new headmaster of the Royal Frost Fall Academy. Yeon had personally handed over the Headmaster Seal to me. I must know what danger comes with letting Shadow remain in the Academy. Only after will I make my decision,"

His voice sounded both calm and cold. Hearing his words, Yin Ye understood that if he doesn't say anything then Laila will not be allowed to live in the Academy.

"Your highness, Shadow's real name is Laila! More than a decade ago, when my precious student Binghe Ye was pregnant, a huge calamity had befallen the Southern Region. A portal to the Demons world had opened there and demons started an invasion. Taking advantage of this, a muddle-headed Cardinal from the church of light announced that if Binghe Ye gives birth to a daughter then the newborn child is to be immediately executed. He brainwashed the populace by saying that if the newborn child is born a female then the child will not be a human but a vessel to a demon who will wreak havoc on the entire continent, and there's no need to pity a demon. Killing her was the best choice; that's what everyone thought."

"Dirty Bastard William agreed with the Cardinal, and they waited for the time the child will be birthed. If the child is a girl then she will be instantly publicly executed. If the child is a boy then he will be allowed to live but how could my student let her innocent child die because of pretentious bastards?

"Betrayed by her husband, Binghe used a high-end clairvoyant technique to peek into the future, and what she saw was what she feared the most. Her newborn child will be publicly executed, and she won't be able to do anything. Whereas, her husband, Williams would silently watch as the newborn baby is bound to the stake and set aflame, burning into ashes, under the sounds of rejoices coming from the public!"

"Not willing to lose her innocent child because of the cardinal future prediction that lacked any basis, Binghe instantly made her move to save her unborn child. She sacrificed a huge amount of life force and hasten the growth of her child to conceive the child earlier. In the depths of the night, the child was secretly birthed, hence Binghe named her Laila."

Frankenstein's eyes were shining in purple flame. He was using the skill, "Truth or Lie". This skill allows him to know whether a person is lying or saying the truth. And, Yin Ye's words were certainly the truth. The Dean also had clairvoyant skills that allow him to peek into the past or future. So he used "Peek into Past" to have a better view of what's happening. Whereas Master Yin Ye continued explaining about the past.

"Laila was handed over to Master Ze, who was going to butcher the experts of the Southern Region and the Cardinal of light but Binghe begged him not to. Her love for Williams was too much and she forgave him. She still wanted to stay with him so that her child won't grow up without a father.

"In the very same night after the child was secretly birthed she used the advanced version of our Guild Secret Life Creation spell to create a fake life that will live for only two months. She used the Secret Life creation energy to give birth to a new life in her stomach, fooling everyone the very next day. Eventually, she gave birth to the fake life."

The Shen Ze Yi guild was famous because of their Secret Life creation spell. By using the most basic version, a mage can create a life-like shadow using only mana. By using the advanced version, a human-like life can be created. However, it will only exist for a limited time.

"Under her magic, the fake life was birthed as a boy. Once again, everyone was fooled. Since a boy was born, there was no need to carry on with the execution. They then focused more on fighting off the demons. Later on, when no prying eyes were set upon her, Binghe secretly replaced the fake life with her daughter, Laila. However, Laila had to dress up as a boy otherwise, they would be hunted by the church of light, the Fanatic believers of the God of light, and even Duke Williams and his experts until they die. That's why she had been living under a disguise." Yin Ye finished explaining.

Dean Frankenstein had a thoughtful look on his face. Many dots seemed to connect and he realized an important historical truth. He said,

"It all finally made sense. I heard that the day Duke Williams's wife died, Master Ze went on a rampage. He killed dozens of experts of the Water Kingdom, destroyed the church of light in the Southern region, and chased the Cardinal to the Central Kingdom with Master Yi. It's related to this, isn't it?"

The day his daughter died, Master Ze went on a rampage. Since his precious had died, someone has to be held accountable for her death. Therefore he killed a lot of people who troubled Binghe when she was alive so that they will accompany her in death.

However, he still kept his promise to her and didn't kill Williams.
