Love's Unexpected Awakening Elowen's Choice novel Chapter 798

Chapter 798 The Buried Truth

Elowen tilted her head, “So, who confessedl first?”

Without missing a beat, Noah replied, “I did, naturally.”

Elowen froze.

Right. So we know exactly who fell madly in love first.

Finished

Noah continued, “But because of our relationship, Kael’s hatred for both your grandmother and me grew exponentially. He ordered several assassinations on my life. While they all failed miserably, they became incredibly tiresome. So, I simply took your grandmother, left Nordia entirely, and returned to Falkriver.

“We lived several peaceful years in Falkriver. It was during that time your mother was born.”

Curious, Elowen asked, “Grandfather, did Kael never try to send assassins after you in Falkriver?”

Noah laughed at the thought. “Send assassins to Falkriver? At that time, all twelve provinces of Falkriver belonged to me. His men couldn’t even catch a glimpse of my shadow, let alone assassinate me.”

Elowen blinked, her mind momentarily short-circuiting.

“All twelve provinces… of Falkriver?”

Noah glanced at her, suddenly realizing his omission. “Ah, I suppose I always forgot to mention that part. Falkriver hasn’t always been Avenloran territory. Those twelve provinces originally belonged to the Sunspire Empire, ruled by the Wynne royal family. I was the final Sunspire King.”

Elowen’s eyes widened in sheer shock. “How did I not know a single word of this?!”

Noah drawled, “Because the twelve provinces were annexed into Avenlor when your mother was still a teenager. The Avenloran King at the time wasn’t the current one, and your husband, Cassian, hadn’t ever been born yet. By the time you came into the world, it was ancient history. During my reign. I paid little attention to court politics, preferring to delve into the medical arts. After handing the Empire over to Avenlor, I directly converted the former royal palace into an academy for teaching and practicing medicine.”

Elowen finally connected the dots. “No wonder I always thought your estate was so incredibly massive when I was little. I thought it was just because I was small, but it turns out your estate was literally a palace

This revelation unlocked even more childhood memories. “And no wonder you didn’t even blink before gifting me an entire landscape of mountains and rivers for my birthday. Looking back on it now, an ordinary person definitely couldn’t afford a gift like that.”

Noah smiled softly.

Elowen muttered quietly, “But with the war raging in the Southwest right now, I wonder if my Lake Azure has been caught in the crossfire.”

Noah remained perfectly calm. “Your Lake Azure is perfectly safe.”

“How can you be so certain?”

“The ones commanding the war in the Southwest are your two youngest uncles-the boys I adopted in my youth. Don’t you remember them? They absolutely adored you when you were little, and they’ve kept you in their thoughts ever since. How could they ever bear to scorch your Lake Azure? Besides, the conflict is centered around the iron mines, which are miles away from your lake. The fires of war won’t reach it.”

Elowen needed a long moment to process everything.

So the grand, geopolitical conflicts of the realm… were basically just family drama?

Sometimes, she seriously wondered if she was living inside a novel where she was the undisputed, shining protagonist…

After exchanging a few more words, Noah steered the conversatioft back to the past.

“Returning to Kael. Ever since your grandmother left Nordia with me, Kael’s temper grew increasingly volatile, and he began brutally oppressing innocent civilians. The entire nation of Nordia was drowning in misery and resentment. Your grandmother couldn’t turn a blind eye to the suffering of her people, and she ultimately chose to return.”

Noah’s voice faltered.

“We fought constantly over that decision. I desperately tried to stop her from going back, but she simply couldn’t let it go. In the end, we parted on terrible terms. I was still young and blinded by anger, so I didn’t accompany her back to Nordia.”
