Chapter 153
Duke Eddie dares to be so sure that Owen is the old king's illegitimate son, so he must have some important evidence in his hands.
Otherwise, with Duke Eddie's temperament, how could he dare to do such a stupid thing.
Thinking of this, Owen couldn't help but doubt his own life experience. Could it be that he really has royal blood in his body?
Unfortunately, Owen's parents are no longer alive, so it is impossible to confirm the blood relationship by conducting a magic fusion test with them.
The truth can only be discerned through a magic fusion test with the third prince.
But if he really wanted to go to the royal capital to meet the third prince, wouldn't he be following Duke Eddie's advice?
No! Owen shook his head and cursed secretly: How can you doubt your own life experience? I, Owen Eisen, grew up in this castle since I was a child, so I must be a descendant of the Eisen family.
Having said that, Irving is not very confident.
He wanted to find someone who knew the situation of the Eisen family very well to ask if he was Bellik Eisen's biological son.
Twenty-one years have passed, and the servants working in the lord's castle have changed several times. Only Butler Lane still works here. He has served the Eisen family for more than thirty years.
Therefore, Owen decided to call Ryan and consult him about the day he was born.
Today happened not to be a day for Ryan to go to school to teach. He rushed to the office after receiving Owen's summons.
After stroking his chest and saluting, Ryan asked: "Master, why did you call me here?"
"It's not a very important thing."
Owen put down the document in his hand and looked up at the other person, trying to appear casual.
"It's just that I heard a strange rumor recently, so I wanted to call you over to confirm something."
"Master, if you have anything to ask, feel free to ask and I will definitely tell you everything."
"Ryan, you have worked in this castle for more than thirty years. You must have been present the day I was born."
Owen asked: "I am the biological son of my father, Bellik Eisen, and the blood of the Eisen family flows in my body. Is this correct?"
"this……"
Instead of answering decisively and quickly, Ryan actually hesitated.
This shocked Owen greatly, indicating that he might not really be a descendant of the Eisen family.
Ryan hesitated for a while and asked: "Master, what rumors have you heard, and why do you ask such a question?"
Irving had no choice but to repeat the rumors to Ryan that Clive told him.
"The king...the blood of the royal family?"
Unexpectedly, Ryan was also surprised when he heard this rumor.
It seems that this matter is really not simple. Even Ryan only knows one but not the other.
"Ryan, what do you know, can you tell me?"
What is the mystery of his life experience? Irving is now completely confused and can only rely on Ryan to tell the secret of the year.
"well--"
Ryan let out a long sigh and said slowly: "I thought this secret would be sealed forever the day I was laid to rest. Since the master asked me to tell it, I will tell you everything."
It turns out that Owen is not Bellik Eisen's biological son, but a baby boy adopted from outside.
Bellik Eisen and his wife have been childless since their marriage.
If Bellick's father hadn't died heroically in the battle against the undead monsters, he would have forced Bellick to marry the second lady to add a child to the family.
Bellick loved his wife very much and was unwilling to marry a second woman, so he came up with the idea of adopting an adopted son.
The reason why Irving was selected was because it was determined that he had magic power in his body.
However, Owen was still very young at that time, maybe only a few days old, so it was impossible to confirm the amount of magic power. He did not expect it to be so abundant.
In addition, Bellick's wife has always been frail and sick, and she rarely goes out in the castle, and has almost no interaction with other nobles.
So Bellick simply declared that Irving was the child of himself and his wife.
Because he was worried about his wife's physical condition and didn't want anyone to disturb him, he kept hiding the news of his wife's pregnancy.
At that time, all the servants in the castle also swore an oath to never reveal this secret.
In this way, almost all nobles accepted Bellick's external claims, and no one questioned Owen's identity.
In addition, Bellick and his wife have always treated Irving as their biological son, so Irving has never had any doubts about his identity.
The reason why Bellick concealed this matter was that he hoped that Owen would not feel inferior due to his status as an adopted son, or receive some bad treatment outside.
Sadly, Bellick's wife died of illness within a few years.
This confirms a popular saying at the time, that is, frail and sickly women will become even weaker after giving birth and often die of illness a few years later.
This also led many nobles to believe that Owen was born to Bellick's wife.
When Owen, who was still young at that time, heard this statement, he was depressed all day long, blaming his birth for killing his mother. It was not until he was scolded by his father that he gradually came out of the gloom.
After listening to Ryan's story, Owen fell into silence. It turned out that he was really an adopted son.
But thinking that his father concealed this secret was actually for his own good, Owen did not become depressed because of this, but was very grateful that he truly treated him as his own son.
"So, Ryan, do you know who my biological mother is?" Owen asked again.
"have no idea."
Ryan shook his head and said: "Master, your old master secretly adopted you from the orphanage. It is said that you were found at the door of the church."
"Orphanage?" Owen was surprised, "You mean, Bishop Flynn also knows about my identity as an adopted son?"
I didn't expect that I, like Teresa, were both abandoned children, but I was lucky enough to be adopted by the lord of Border Guard Town.
"No, Bishop Flynn did not know."
Lane explained this: "The person in charge of the church at that time was another very old bishop, and it was only after his death that Bishop Flynn was arranged to come to Border Guard Town to take up the post."
"I see."
Hearing this, Owen nodded, and then asked: "Ryan, if you want to find out who abandoned me now, can you find out?"
"It's very difficult. It's been so many years and many of the people involved have passed away. It's very difficult to collect clues."
Well, Ryan is right, it is indeed very difficult to find out the truth now.
