Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2057

If Trevaris was Velquin's reincarnation, his lack of ancestral memory would make perfect sense.

Vlad listened to Shannon's words, but instead of responding, he took two more big sips of his milkshake. After swallowing the two gulps, he seemed to lose interest in the sugary drink altogether.

The cup was still half full, but he tossed it in the direction of a trash can without hesitation.

The trash can was a far distance away, and even an adult wouldn't expect a clean shot. As a kid, Vlad threw it in and did not spill a single drop.

A few passersby looked on in shock, but neither Vlad nor Shannon spared them any attention.

After throwing the milkshake away, Vlad seemed to finally drop his childlike pretense. A faint, mischievous smile spread across his babyish face. "I can be Trevaris, but he isn't necessarily me."

Then, he crossed his legs and leisurely continued, "You're right. He's Velquin's reincarnation, but he was only born because I allowed it.

"He doesn't know who he is and only knows his name is Trevaris because I gave him that name."

To be exact, Trevaris was a clone Vlad had split off from Velquin's divine soul. Just as Shannon had said, Vlad was an incarnation of human evil and couldn't wield the phoenix flame. But as a reincarnation, Trevaris could wield the flame in his place.

As a clone, Trevaris could also sense malice. And since he was born from Vlad's approval, he was also under the latter's control.

Of course, since he was the reincarnation of Velquin's phoenix divine soul, Trevaris retained independent awareness and instinct when not directly controlled.

Like when he sensed malice, his first reaction was to set it ablaze. That could also explain how he didn't think of himself as a clone but as a younger brother.

Since Vlad had consumed Velquin's malice, he ought to be the second brother, and that made Trevaris the third and youngest brother.
