Zither Emperor Chapter 138 Chapter 35 The Story of Sura Part 2_2

138: Chapter 35 The Story of Sura (Part 2)_2 138: Chapter 35 The Story of Sura (Part 2)_2 Tears streamed down Sura’s face as she spoke.

As Ye Yinzhu looked down on the slightly damaged silver coin in his hand, he suddenly felt a tremendous weight.

Sura continued, “That woman was my mother, and the deceased eight-year-old boy was my twin brother.

That day, I was always by my mother’s side.

I loathe myself for being powerless to protect my mother and having no money to cure my brother’s illness.

I fell in love with money from that day forward, promising to give my mother a better life.

That day was also my first act of theft.

The silver coin you hold was earned by my mother’s blood, sweat, and tears to buy fruit for my brother.

If my mother knew I stole, she’d be furious.

As such, I could not allow the money she earned so painfully to fall into the hands of others.

So from that year on, I kept this silver coin with me all the time, as a reminder of my mother’s love.”

“What happened next?

What about your mother?” Ye Yinzhu pelled.

Sura’s eyes were filled with grief, “I tried really hard to bee stronger.

Day by day, I diligently cultivated.

I’d go out and steal some money but always made sure my mother wouldn’t suspect anything.

However, my mother was deeply tired.

She passed away due to chronic illness when I was thirteen.

I stole like mad to afford her treatment, but in the end, she still died.

Just before she died, my mother revealed who my father was.

It was he who forced my mother into such a state.

At my mother’s grave, I swore to get back what was rightfully mine and avenge my mother and brother.”

Gently lifting Sura’s arm from her shoulders, Ye Yinzhu choked up, “Sura, don’t cry.

I will always be there for you.

Your burden is mine as well.

But this silver coin, it’s simply too precious.

I…”

Sura lifted her head abruptly, teary-eyed she said, “Don’t tell me you can’t accept it.

When I first reclaimed it, I made a decision.

If a day came where someone was as good to me as my mother was, I would give this coin to him.

And you are that person.”

Ye Yinzhu looked at the silver coin in his hand once more: at this moment, its weight had bee infinitely uplifting to him.

This was no mere silver coin; it was a symbol of Sura’s trust and affection toward him, more valuable than any divine artifact.

“Alright, I’ll accept it.

I will undoubtedly preserve it well,” deciding against putting the silver coin in his Space Ring, Ye Yinzhu placed it close to his heart inside his clothes.

Sura wiped the tears from her face, “Several years have passed, but every time I think of them, I can’t help but cry.

Yinzhu, have I bee too fragile?”

Ye Yinzhu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, “Certainly not.

Didn’t I, too, cry with you?

Sura, who is your father exactly?

What happened between him and your mother…”

Sura’s face slightly altered, “He is a significant noble.

Initially, my mother was nothing more than his servant.

He violated her the night before she was to leave his mansion and start anew.

With grief and shame, my mother left, only to discover a few months later that she was pregnant with me and my brother.

Don’t ask me who he is, I won’t tell you.

I have to deal with this matter on my own.”

“Ye Yinzhu, Sura, it’s time to leave.

Are you ready?” Xiang Luan’s voice came from outside.

Ye Yinzhu and Sura looked at each other, reined in their emotions, Sura picked up the Desolate Dragon Yin Zither that was sitting next to Ye Yinzhu and handed it to him, “Your Zither isn’t broken, but the strings are.”

During his last performance that day, Ye Yinzhu, having nearly lost his mental control, was ultimately unable to fully mand his music, resulting in his sound wave going out of control and breaking the strings of the Desolate Dragon Yin Zither.

Those were seven dragon tendons!

Re-stringing them wouldn’t be easy.

With a somewhat helpless look, Ye Yinzhu carefully stored the Desolate Dragon Yin Zither and said, “I’ll find a solution later.

Let’s go.”

Sura concealed her emotions well.

When they left the room, her face was free of sorrow.

The reinforcements sent by Holy Heart City included 10,000 heavy armored cavalry and 30,000 infantry, a formidable force, now fully armed and ready outside Konya City.

The mission of the 500 Dragon Cavalry who lost their mounts was simple – they were charged with the protection of the Princess and Prince.

Upon Ye Yinzhu’s appearance, the entire team fell silent.

The expressions everyone wore had pletely changed.

The Dragon Cavalry looked at him with fear or anger, while the students from the Milan Magic Martial Arts Academy mostly wore admiration.

After all, these noble children didn’t regard the loss of Dragon Tamers very seriously.

At the very least, Ye Yinzhu had saved their lives.

“Idol, hop on,” Feschera called to Ye Yinzhu.

Helplessly Ye Yinzhu responded, “Prince, could you please not call me that?”

Feschera grinned and said, “I can’t help it.

You’re really amazing, Idol.

We can talk more once you’re on.”

Ye Yinzhu and Sura climbed into the carriage.

This time, there were less people inside due to the status of Xiang Luan and Feschera.

Currently, the carriage only held three people: Xiang Luan, Haiyang, and Feschera, plus Ye Yinzhu and Sura.

Even within this luxurious and spacious carriage, there was plenty of room to spare.

“Idol, you were the true hero of this victory.

Our side just lost a thousand Dragon Tamers and five hundred Falcon Dragon Knights.

While the enemy, even without counting the seriously injured Behemoth, lost almost forty thousand of their main force, all annihilated by us.

When we get back, I imagine you won’t need to go to school anymore.

You can just bee a Court Mage.”

Xiang Luan smacked Feschera on his head, “Nonsense talk.

Yinzhu is still young, of course, he has to continue his schooling.

But, I am looking forward to Father’s reward for him this time.”

As Feschera rubbed his head, he whispered, “With your good words, how could the reward be bad?”
