Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 383. The Past of Xenon
“I am the son of the result of an affair between Marquis van Houdsen and his own servant. My mother was the steward of the family before finally marrying Marquis”
“Mother is among the common people. I didn't know about it until my 6”th birthday
Xenon told me a little about his past.
“At first my relationship with Rexa-sama was fine and we looked like siblings. Me and him different 2 years”
the “Bros I have are my birthday gifts for Rexa-sama. It feels, after knowing that reality, I always feel so..sakit”.
“Xenon-san..”
Xenon told me, “At first me and Rexa-sama thought that we did have two mothers. No matter who our mother is, we are both very close. Rexa-sama's mother's name is Vexia-sama”
“He was never close to me and always stayed away from me without saying anything. My mother's name is Axelia. All this time I only knew that mother was the second wife after Vexia-sama”
“My mother's background was never known until finally when my 6th birthday party, I who at that time wanted to give a cake to my father accidentally dirty the dress of Vexia-sama”
Xenon recalled what Vexia had said from his memory.
[Basic son of a waiter! Dirty blood doesn't know! This is why I am so disgusted by the son of a cheap woman and a dirty ex-servant!]
That sentence was a sentence that had hitherto incised such a deep wound for Xenon. Because of that sentence as well, news about the issue of infidelity spread among the nobility, even heard to the ears of the king.
Everyone's social views of the Marquis had deteriorated a few months since the incident. How not, all of it was done in public during Xenon's birthday party.
The nobility will not refuse the invitation of a Marquis who has been confirmed by hundreds of family heads from the nobility and the kingdom who come.
More tragically, the first wife of the Marquis was the culprit. Without a second thought and emotion he vented and said all that in public.
Xenon told me that there had been an extraordinary quarrel after the party between his father and his stepmother.
Xenon's birth mother Axelia could only hug herself inside her room while crying. Xenon even recalled the words of the mother who was sobbing.
[My dear Zenon, you are not dirty blood. You are the treasure of the most beloved mother in this world. You are a jewel, my dear]
[The world is beautiful because you were born perfect for your mother. Hiks, don't think about all that. Never think you are not loved]
[Even if they think badly, mom will be on your side at all times]
As she told all that, a sad expression and teary eyes were seen. Xenon seemed to endure the pain as he told all three of them.
“Since then, my relationship with Rexa-sama stayed away”
“The servants of the residence were initially silent, but after the incident they started talking about my mother as a snatch-woman husband person and cunning woman”
“In my memory, there was only one servant so loyal to my mother. But I don't know how things are now since I've never been back there”
“Our brotherly relationship was instantly transformed into someone else. We are no longer close and Rexa-sama was sent to the academy a few years later”
“I followed to the academy due to coercion from my father through the recommendation of Rexa-sama and left my mother in the full residence of hell that”
The three teenagers from the other world were starting to understand now. At least Ryou understood what Jessie and Jene were feeling when they begged him to get close to Xenon in the canteen.
“I'm starting to think that I hate the nobility” Xenon said
“But you are a noble son of the hero” family Kaito said
“What's the point if it's just gonna bother you? My mother was never seen as low as that and ironically it happened on her own son's birthday”
“My father was a cold person and never showed his expression to both of us. Even when he and his first wife were quarreling, the thing they were debating was the social status and other family views towards him”
“They never heard my mother's cry that was like losing her smile ever since and I started to keep my distance on all the nobles”
“It happened on Jessie-sama and Jene-sama also”
All speechless. This was different from their guesses even though there were already uncertain guesses when looking at Xenon's attitude to his own fiancee.
In the end, the three of them could understand Xenon's pain. A 6-year-old must be publicly humiliated by an adult on his special day it is a lifelong trauma.
Xenon recounts that Misha was the fiancee chosen by Rexa's mother when they celebrated the year-end party. It was announced suddenly that even Rexa herself was shocked to hear it.
“The party happened to be held in the residence belonging to Misha-sama himself which meant there was no chance for Rexa-sama to refuse. It was the plan of Vexia-sama with Earl Midford namely Charles Andreas Midford and his wife, Countess Lilian Irisville-Midford”
Ryou instantly pulled out his chirps, “Smart traps from cunning woman”
“Ryou, don't talk so” the older brother advises him
“No, Ryou was right about that Kino. It was already set up and my father could not refute it”
“Xenon-san..”
Kaito's expression immediately changed, “I'm sorry for Rexa's luck in getting a life partner. He's more unlucky than me”
“Kaito-san..” Kino becomes more and more compassionate to hear Kaito's words.
Xenon just smiled and replied, “You guys are too. I guess I'm the only one who thinks so”
“Cih! Such a girl will never be a good wife and will argue with her husband. That's how she never got along with you, right?” guess Ryou
“You know too?”
“Of course! You told me about your own past. Looking at your story and likening it to the girl's arrogant attitude, she must hate you. He alone could proudly flaunt his surname in the lobby when I clashed with him”
This is nothing new for Xenon and it is not surprising. Returning to the previous topic, now Xenon must try hard.
“You fought with him until you pushed him it. It will involve me in the problem also” said Xenon.
“Why?”
“Because I'm sure he'll get mad at the division members. And it can tarnish the good name of Rexa-sama later”
Sentence ‘fry good name Rexa-sama’ caught the attention of Kino.
“Xenon-san, doesn't that mean you still care about your brother?”
“......!!” Xenon was silent
“I'm right, right? Xenon-san still cares about him right?”
Xenon did not answer through his mouth and simply fell silent. But in her heart, she said, ‘I've sworn to protect her. In the absence of me nearby, Rexa-sama will get her former happiness’
