"…" Jason was left speechless. He simply looked at Risa with an eager expression and waited for her to continue.

"When Issac married me, both of us were quite infamous throughout the continent. He was the leading prodigy in the field of battle while I was rapidly advancing to become the best healer on the entire continent.

There was a different king at that time. Though he wasn\'t much better than the current king, he at least didn\'t try to restrict our powers. As long as we were getting stronger and kept ourselves in check, we could mostly do anything we wanted." Risa paused.

Jason noticed that her words contained a longing for something that she once had.

\'I still don\'t know why this curse was placed on them or why they let the king boss them around…\' Jason realized that in reality, he knew very little about his family.

"What happened after that?" he asked.

"Well, everything was going well. The nobles formed relationships with us since they knew that we would play a major role in determining the kingdom\'s future. Everything was fine and we had two children in the following years."

A faint smile appeared on Risa\'s lips. "They were your father, Michael, who was the oldest child and your aunt, Silvia."

[ First time I have heard that name. ]

\'Something bad must have happened because I have heard others take Uncle or father\'s name numerous times. Both my grandparents are quite famous so there is no need to mention them here.\'

"Both of them grew up together bu despite having two children, we went ahead and had a third child, Ray. When Michael turned five years old, the current king entered the Royal academy.

We knew that he was a prodigy alongside his younger brother Zilan. We didn\'t pay much attention to them but looking back at it, maybe we should have done something." Risa continued in a regretful tone.

[ Host, do you believe that things can be changed if you get a second chance? ]

\'Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the person and the time. Look at me for example. I got my second chance and reincarnated in this world. Things aren\'t that bad here.\' Jason replied after some thought.

Risa was about to continue the story when she heard a growling sound coming from his stomach.

"I forgot you haven\'t eaten anything," She murmured.

Risa walked out of the room and went in search of food. Jason on the other hand looked at the ball of light hovering beside him.

The ball of light had stopped sending mana to his body and simply floated beside him. Jason turned all of his visionary enhancements off and stared at the place where the ball was supposed to be.

However, what greeted him was empty air.

\'How does that work?\' Jason asked with a curious expression.

[ I think it works by gathering natural mana and directing it with the help of one\'s own mana. So basically, only those with an affinity with the said type of mana can sense or see the such mana. ]

\'Its quite confusing…\'

[ It is. Thankfully, only those with a S grade or Z grade affinity can actually do this. I read that in a book. ]

\'Which means that its hundred percent confirmed that she has that level of affinity.\'

Risa returned after a few minutes with a plate of food in her hand. She passed it to Jason who happily chewed on the food.

"What… happened next?" he asked between bites.

"In the following years, strange things started taking place. Some noble families suddenly started following the words of the royal family blindly. A few policies were created which made the commoners launch protests.

This went on for almost six years before all of a sudden, everything died. The current king, Julian Vancouver, was responsible for this. He had calmed all of them and so on became the hot stuff."

"Hot stuff…" Jason murmured.

"The Crystal ceremony was once again held and this time, Michale participated in it. He of course won the battles and entered the royal academy. Silvia entered the royal academy the year after by obtaining the second place in the tournament.

Michael and Silvia kept us updated on things happening throughout the years and soon, it was Ray\'s turn to take part in the Crystal ceremony. Unfortunately, his talents weren\'t the same as his elder brother and sister.

Fortunately, we realized that he was under pressure due to the positions his elder siblings had turn. We somehow managed to make him understand that even if he didn\'t come at the top, we won\'t have any problem with him."

"Did uncle Ray understand that easily?" Jason questioned as he remembered that Ray was sometimes a very stubborn person.

"Well, it took us some time to convince him. It was a good thing we did that since he got the seventh spot in the tournament. Ray wasn\'t chosen by the Royal academy but both the Wisteria and the Pearl academy offered invitations to him.

Ray, for a yet to be known reason, chose Pearl academy. Maybe Issac\'s genes had affected him too much. Fate, however, is a strange thing. It was at the Pearl academy that Ray met Zara for the first time."

"Oh?" Jason\'s eyebrows shot up. He hadn\'t expected that his Uncle would\'ve met his future wife at his academy.

This made Jason think about something that he probably shouldn\'t be thinking about…

"She joined the Pearl academy in her third year as an inter-continent exchange program. The only reason our kingdom was chosen from this continent was because of me." Risa grinned. "I had given the demi-human kingdom a way to cure their tangled hair."

"There is magic for that?"

"There is magic for almost anything in this world. You just have to keep experimenting to find it. Anyways, Ray was quite bold and he far outshone your father in that field. But Michael wasn\'t someone to be underestimated.

He had already defeated the top prodigies in the academy by himself and those included people from an year above him." Risa said proudly.

"Did father enter the chamber of rebirth?" Jason asked while trying to imagine his father fighting in the school.

Sadly, his imagination was quite bad since he only knew that his father had purple eyes.

"He did enter the chamber in his fifth year but he got out after a month. His effects were quite good as well," Risa replied.

"Grandma, I have never seen a picture of father…" Jason suddenly stated.

"Of course you wouldn\'t have a seen a picture of him," Risa replied with a bittersweet smile. "You are the only proof of his existence present in this world. Everything else has been wiped out."

"Huh?" Jason blinked in confusion.

"Fast forward two years in the story and Michael had left the academy. He decided to become an adventurer and decided to visit the other continent. He started by the Eastern continent where the demi-humans and the elves live together.

He spent a few months there and went on to explore the Western continent which is ruled by an union of dark elves, dwarfs and giants. At last, he went to the demon continent.

At that time, the humans and demons were in close contact with each other. We traded stuff and other things. Unfortunately, our king kept on scamming the demon king, the ruler of the entire kingdom.

During his visit, Michael faced many difficulties due to this. He still made it to the demon capital which was the goal of his visit.

There he met the royal and high end noble families. Though this is a bit cliche, he somehow ended up in a conflict with one of the nobles. Since our reputation wasn\'t that great, the noble ended up challenging your father.

Any guesses who the noble was?" Risa asked.

Jason tried to rack his brain for some idea but only ended up with one answer. "That\'s how he met my mother?"

"Indeed, that is how Michael met Evelyn At that time, your mother was being chosen to become the priestess of one of the major gods that the demons worship. That was why she was a bit aloof and dangerous.

Surprisingly, she actually had enough power and skill to back her words and attitude. Considering how Astryn and Fel were the ones who trained her, the result was quite expected.

Their battle ended in a stalemate. Evelyn asked the demon forces to… ahem… imprison your father. There romance was quite a weird development but those of us here were ignorant about it.

After all, Julian had ascended the throne here and a new kind of order was being imposed here. The noble parties and others were shifting teams and stuff."

"So it was during this time that things started going wrong." Jason guessed. It was easy to guess that something like that would\'ve only happened during such a major change.

"Indeed. It was Julian Vancouver who started making all noble families swear an oath of supreme loyalty towards him. When people resisted, he went after them, including our family…"
