Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 4275

Kincaid stared at Geoffrey and pursued the matter further. "Is the Holy Item the Evil Bead?"

"The Evil Bead?" Geoffrey grew pensive for a moment and replied, "I'm not certain of that, but it resembled a round piece of metal."

"Was there anything unusual about her facial features?" Kincaid questioned further.

"Her facial features..." As he tried to remember all that he had seen, Geoffrey suddenly clapped his hands as he exclaimed, "Now I recall, I think she had frightening eyes, and they were slitted like those of a snake!"

The snake eyes were the most striking feature of that woman.

Upon hearing what Geoffrey said, Kincaid suddenly fell silent, while Hilario silently let out a sigh beside him.

"Dad, who is that woman?" Dorothy asked. She could tell from Kincaid's earlier emotions as well as his sudden silence that he knew without any doubt who the woman was. She wanted to get the answer from him.

"She's your mother," Kincaid answered in a somewhat bitter voice.

"My mother?" Dorothy asked in confusion. "If she is my mother, why is she imprisoned in the wall of the chaos?"

"In the past, her father had defeated us all. I believed she was dead back then. Now, it appears that her father showed mercy to her. Her imprisonment in the wall of the chaos must be her father's punishment," Kincaid slowly explained.

Dorothy, Zen, and Geoffrey were all momentarily stunned by his words.

Zen was the first to figure it out, and he said, "Is her father the Snake Spirit King, Cornelius?"

"Yes," Kincaid admitted. "She is Cornelius' daughter, Itzel."

Although the Four Spirits Sect was an entity, the four sects were comprised from different races, and each hailed from their own ancestral lands. Their lifestyles varied greatly from each other.

Normally, a snake spirit had a large number of offspring, and competition among them was extremely cruel.

Cornelius was reputed to have hundreds of thousands of children, but most of them had died before they reached adulthood. The cause of their death was mainly the fierce internal family strife, and only those who were strong enough to survive were considered deserving enough to be Cornelius' descendants.

Compared with his other children, Itzel had led a charmed life.

In the past, the Bold Conjecture House had required the study of the bloodlines of the four leaders' children. Technically, the leaders only required one of their children to give blood.

However, the Snake Spirit King had instead sent them an egg.

After Itzel's hatching, the Bold Conjecture House had wanted to return her, but the Snake Spirit Sect had become indifferent to her fate. They had then allowed the Human Spirit Sect to deal with her as they pleased.

Following that, Itzel was raised in the Human Spirit Sect.

Compared to her several hundred thousand siblings, Itzel was therefore undoubtedly much luckier. She grew up in a relatively stable environment. She performed well there and showed a willingness to accept the human spirits' culture.

She didn't like her original identity as a snake spirit. Therefore, the Bold Conjecture House had helped her to assume a human body and turned her into a beautiful human spirit.

The only mark that could prove her original relationship with the snake spirits was the golden crescent-shaped pupils in her attractive eyes, which was a typical feature of snake spirits.

With the abilities of the Bold Conjecture House, it was a small matter to remove the snake pupils for her. Once those were removed, nobody would know that she was actually a snake spirit. However, she had insisted on keeping her snake pupils as a reminder of where she came from.

Cornelius had never cared for Itzel, and he had almost forgotten that he actually had a daughter who lived within the Human Spirit Sect.

It wasn't until Kincaid and Itzel fell in love that Cornelius recognized his daughter through her snake pupils. Discovering the truth, he had opposed their relationship vehemently. This was the first breach of trust between the Snake Spirit Sect and the Human Spirit Sect. At that point, Kincaid had given the Snake Spirit King a king's ransom in exchange for his compromise.

As a result, the Snake Spirit Sect had never mentioned this matter again, and Cornelius had disowned Itzel as his daughter.

"Her father is the Snake Spirit King… So, my mother is a snake spirit..." Dorothy muttered to herself.
