Chapter 552: The Illusory Crown

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Selma Payne’s POV:

I once thought that the Evaria Family would be extremely respectful toward this descendant who could help them reach the heavens in a single bound. At the very least, they would have to maintain superficial respect.

However, I completely overturned my previous views after a series of events.

The Evaria Family didn’t like Jack Evaria. They only wanted to squeeze out every bit of his value to make use of him. I suspected that the Evaria Family really wanted Jack Evaria to replace my father or me.

First of all, regarding Layla’s death, there was no doubt that it was Jack’s doing. But was he the only one who did it? Didn’t the Evaria Family know anything about this? I thought not only did they know, but they also added fuel to the fire and used Jack to complete this flawless assassination plan.

Jack could indeed erase everyone’s memories related to this, but only the Evaria Family was different. This was because they were not victims who were kept in the dark but chess players who manipulated everything outside the chessboard.

Even if Jack could really deceive his people, as long as the Evaria Family turned around, they would easily find many suspicions. Why was Julie not dead? Where did the person who was controlling Julie go? Why didn’t he grasp the final direction of this assassination?

They didn’t even need to investigate much. As long as they saw the ‘forgotten’, they could determine who the person who broke the plan was.

Moreover, Julie felt that Jack was not free and did not like being controlled by the Evaria Family.

Although it was still questionable whether his memory was accurate due to her mother’s filter, at least I could confirm that Jack was arrogant and self-centered. Determining whether the Evaria Family had deliberately cultivated his personality was difficult.

However, it was indisputable that no king would be willing to be controlled by others, even if he was just a shameful ‘candidate’ and a child in everyone’s eyes.

Therefore, Jack’s relationship with his family was not harmonious. It could even be said that there were many contradictions. And what Sir Evaria said about ‘recuperating due to illness’ was also debatable. Was Jack terminally ill, or did the Evaria Family not want to release this uncontrollable time bomb?

Therefore, I was inclined to believe that the Evaria Family knew what Jack had done. Perhaps they were the ones who secretly urged Jack to assassinate Layla. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a weak child to rush to another city thousands of miles away.

This led to another question – how exactly did the Evaria Family want to use Jack?

If they really wanted Jack to become the future Lycan King, then the correct way to do it was to arrange for him to have a pair of parents like Sisley so that he could receive a perfect aristocratic education, manage his connections, gather his reputation, and control the power of the family. Then, he would wait for the opportunity to start a war for the throne.

But what did the Evaria Family do? They locked Jack up in a manor and did not allow him to see the light of day all day. They called it cultivation, but the only medical practice seemed to treat Jack as an inexhaustible sperm bank and create more children with royal blood for the family.

These were all guesses, except for Jack’s ending. After the fall of the Evaria Family, Jack immediately died. It was as if he had lived on for more than thirty years just to become a sign of weakness for the family on the last day of his life.

The Evaria Family had no intention of installing Jack to the throne of the werewolf pack. He was just an excuse, a flag, and a reassurance that would allow the family to reach the throne with a clear conscience.

Actually, I should have thought of this long ago because Jack’s royal bloodline was the bloodline of the Oromalivira Family, not the bloodline of the Evaria Family, right?

If he really ascended the throne, it would be hard to say whether it would be a family that favored him but was in conflict with him or the old royal family that gave him the right to inherit.

After figuring this out, the plan of the Evaria Family was obvious.

It would be best if the rebellion succeeded. A sickly and short-lived ghost would be helped to the throne, or he would die of illness after a few years. Before he died, he would leave a ‘posthumous edict’ to pass on the throne to the family that raised him.

Or perhaps he would become a tyrant because of his personality. That way, the Evaria Family could launch a righteous war of ‘eliminating the violent and pacifying the good’ and rightfully ascend to the throne.

In any case, they could change from ‘aristocrats’ to an ‘imperial clan’ and then to ‘royal family’.

Unfortunately, the whole plan was aborted before they could start a decent rebellion. Jack still had his value. His death would become the life insurance of the entire Evaria Family.

Once my father insisted on holding them accountable, they could completely attribute their delusions and disloyalty to Jack’s bewitchment. After all, he had the power to manipulate people’s hearts!

Not only Jack but also Sisley, Sunflower, and the descendants of the Evaria Family who had spent so much effort to leave behind were just tools to be used..
