“Mom..?” Ignatius exclaimed when he saw Daya and Jade.
Daya was carrying Jade on her back at the time, hoping to enter the formation secretly. Yet she was still caught by someone… She initially wanted to speed up and dash in, but that young teen referred to one of them as ‘Mom’.
‘Can you call just anyone that?’
No matter what that meant, Daya was unwilling to be too close to them, so she immediately summoned a bunch of vines.
Whoosh!
Endlessly long vines crept over as if they were anacondas. Yet these were nothing when faced with Ignatius. After sending a large wave of True Fire of Sunburst, those vines instantly lost mobility and turned into ashes. However, the teenager did not harm Daya and Jade in the slightest. Instead, he rushed towards them, appearing right before the two women.
Seeing how lifeless Jade seemed, Ignatius was shocked and heartbroken, immediately asking, “Why is my mom in such a state? What even happened?”
Daya looked at him. “You are…”
“Ignatius, I’m Ignatius Rowan. I used to have her last name, Blaze Benmore.”
Daya immediately remembered the name since Blaze had lived with the Rockefellers for a short period. However, he was just a small child at the time. Unexpectedly, he managed to grow this much in such a short time.
“You’re not a fake, are you?”
“I know Blaze. I even carried him before. He’s much younger than you are.” Daya said.
“Aunt Daya, I really am Blaze. Do you still remember…”
Blaze then described a few interesting incidents when he was still living with the Rockefellers. After that, he pointed at the middle of his eyebrows. “Look, I have this mark here too. It’s unique, no one could ever replace me.”
A fire symbol slowly appeared on his forehead.
“That pile of ash is him.” Blaze pointed to a pile of gray dust, seemingly resentful.
If he knew that it was Eustace who hurt his mother this badly, he definitely wouldn’t have let him die so swiftly. At the same time, the other seeds had heard their conversation. Everyone was utterly shocked.
Nikolai said, “Didn’t you say you were Emperor Rowan’s eldest son? Why are you calling this woman your ‘Mom’ then? She looks so young, she’s definitely no older than seventy.”
If this was said in school, it would’ve been treated as a joke. Yet, in this situation, no one found the comment odd at all. To these people, seventy really was way too young.
All the seeds here were over three thousand years old, after all. For example, Nikolai was over five thousand years old.
In comparison, Jade’s age was even… Younger than three years old in human age. Grand Emperor Rowan, on the other hand, has existed since ancient times, which was more than ten thousand years ago.
Blaze took a glance at Nikolai. “Why do you care?”
