Chapter 894 Blood Resonance: A Twin?

"Is it possible that it was tampered with, or that it made a mistake, I mean, how does it even work?" Mia asked, to which some of the people present glanced at her with slight confusion.

"You don't know about blood resonance?"

"Ah, right, Earth is a new planet, and from what Reign told me, it seems you were more technologically advanced, so such things are probably not familiar to you." Theron said with a nod of understanding before he sat down.

"There is no making a mistake with a blood resonance, it takes two samples of blood and matches them, it compares the two on a very deep level before giving a sign of how close they are."

"Correct, my blood, and the blood of the king, gave a green resonance, which is the highest possible one, that means that he is my father, there is no denying that."

"As for tampering, one would need to steal the two blood samples from the king, which is impossible since he is a Tier VI combatant, not to mention that he was in the palace, which has plenty of arrays and formations, some that only work on him, making him even more powerful there."

"Tampering with the array itself would also be impossible, after all, it is a highly advanced array that is inside the palace, the arrays around it would immediately notify the king and other notable individuals of the kingdom if a person was to merely get close to it."

"Both of those possibilities would need a person who is above Tier VI to be done, and such an individual wouldn't bother doing such things here," Aragos said as he sighed.

"And yet, you say you believe the king is innocent, that he didn't do it, that he isn't your father." Reign told Aragos who nodded his head in agreement.

"I saw him once, and felt nothing, you might think of it as stupidity or simply me acting as an amateur, but I simply don't think he is my father, something inside of me says that."

"Also, my mother believes he didn't do it either, even with everything that has happened to her, she has met the king multiple times in the past, and on the rare occasions that she is lucid, she talked to me, told me that the person who appeared that night, although looked exactly like the king, was simply too unfamiliar to her."

"She didn't mean it simply because he did something nobody would ever think he would do, the way he talked, the way he took a breath, his personality, mannerism, it was simply too different."

"How she was able to remember such details, I do not know, nor did I ask, but she seems certain he did not do it."

"She also told me she heard another voice, one saying something along the lines of 'It is done', 'the plan is perfect', and something else she wasn't able to hear."

"My grandfather believes that is nothing else but my mother acting insane, that what happened was too big of a shock, and that she is forcing herself to believe a lie she told herself, but I believe her."

"Wouldn't you believe your own mother if she told you such a thing if she told it more than once, completely certain that she was speaking the truth?" Aragos asked Reign and the others, who all nodded in agreement.

"So, a person that looks exactly like the king came inside the room of the princess, a person that was aided by someone, which is natural since we know that it would be impossible for even the king to sneak into the palace of a neighboring kingdom and do such a thing without inside help." Reign said with a serious face.

"That would mean that they planned on starting a war, but the blood resonance between you and the king is still something that cannot be explained."

"Dammit, we're getting nowhere with this." Reign said with slight anger as Mia sighed.

"It would be great if the king had a twin, that way we would at least have a suspect."

"He does." Adrian suddenly said as he stared at Mia with surprise, in fact, all of them were doing the same.

"Wait, he has a twin?!" Reign suddenly shouted in disbelief as he stared at them.

"Yes, but what does that matter, the blood resonance one gets from an uncle or aunt is slightly weaker, Azkaran would have noticed it," Theron stated as Reign glanced at them with slight confusion.

"Twins share more DNA than siblings usually do, the amount is pretty much the same as that between a parent and a child, so if the king truly does have a twin, an identical twin, then, potentially, the resonance that Aragos's blood would have with both the king's blood and his brother's blood would be nearly identical."

"What, I never heard of such a thing." Theron suddenly stated as he stared at Reign and Mia.

"It's pretty much common knowledge back in my world." Reign said as Theron sighed.

"Ah, the marvels of technology do make me yearn for it at times, alas, it is forbidden."

"To think nobody actually thought of such a thing, I mean seriously if they're identical twins, they look the same, wouldn't he be the prime suspect, why didn't Azkaran check his blood too?" Mia asked as Adrian suddenly shook his head.

"My uncle is a fickle character, he pops in and out at times, and has been staying in the kingdom for longer because of the war, but usually, nobody knows where he is."

Adrian once again glanced at Reign.

"Are you certain of what you said?"

"If the blood of twins is like that, then … my uncle might very well be the one that did so, are you sure of it?"

"Yes, I am sure." Reign said with a serious expression.

"Well then, there we have it, you guys are not brothers, but cousins, the king's brother is most likely your father, the one that forced himself on your mother twenty years ago." Reign said as he glanced at Aragos whose hands were clenched tightly.

"Twenty years of war, so much investigating, and the truth was actually so easily found?"

"Could it really be like that?"

The revelation hung heavy in the air, a truth unveiled after years of mystery and conflict. Adrian, the prince of Irason, and Aragos, the second-in-command of the Elais army, were not brothers as believed but cousins. The king of Irason had a twin brother, and it was this twin who had committed the heinous act two decades ago.

The implications of this revelation rippled through the minds of those present. Adrian, absorbing the shock, looked at Aragos with a mix of confusion, understanding, and empathy. Aragos, whose journey had been driven by the desire to uncover his true lineage, now faced the realization that the person he sought revenge against might not be his father.

Reign broke the silence. "This changes everything. We need to find the king's brother and confront him with the truth. It might be the key to ending the war and bringing justice to both kingdoms."

Nayle nodded in agreement. "We must tread carefully. The revelation of such a secret could have far-reaching consequences. The truth might be our ally, but it can also be a weapon in the wrong hands."

Aragos, grappling with the newfound knowledge of his parentage, spoke with a mix of frustration and resignation. "I need to find that bastard and get answers from him. I've spent my life seeking the truth, and now that I know, I won't let this revelation go to waste. The war must end, and the real culprits must face justice."

"I need to inform my grandfather as well, for two decades, he has been manipulated into waging a war by that person, as well as a traitor amongst his own people as well."

"Teacher Elyndor, I need to talk to him as well, I need to tell him what we found out."

"Slow down, we are not going to tell a single soul before getting more evidence, nobody will believe us." Reign said as he walked over to Aragos.

"That includes Elyndor, after all, he was the one tasked with protecting your mother back then, don't you find it weird that the culprit was able to get in her room, and even talk to a person after everything was finished?"

"Elyndor was not a weakling back then, how did he not notice that something was amiss, huh?!"

"No … he wasn't involved, he couldn't have been," Aragos said as he took two steps back.

"He … he helped me so much, helped me get stronger, helped me look for clues, to look for answers, why would he do such a thing if he was involved?"

"He helped you, and yet, you found nothing, you found no clues, no evidence, nothing."

"Think about it, Aragos, just think!" Reign said as he grabbed Aragos by his shoulders.

"Wouldn't that work best for him, not only can he guide you to what he wants you to know and find out, but on the off-chance you do get some information, he will be able to learn it right away from you, a person that trusts him completely!"
