At that moment, Ambrose turned and asked, "That's right, where is my father? The Emperor wanted to kill him yesterday; he wouldn’t be dead, right?"
"He..." Yvette did not know what to say. She forced a smile and consoled him, "He'll be alright."
'I wasn't able to rescue Lord Kenny. He might have been executed by now. There’s only so much a child's heart can take. I can't tell him such cruel news for now.”
Before Ambrose could speak, Yvette hugged him in her arms. “Ambrose, time to go to sleep."
Feeling Yvette’s warm embrace, Ambrose calmed down but did not feel sleepy at all.
Yvette could not sleep, either; she had too many thoughts in her mind. "Ambrose is such a pitiful child; I cannot let him be harmed!'
Both of them were deep in thought. The temple was completely silent, with only the sound of the rain outside.
There was no telling how long it had been; Ambrose could not help but ask, “I can't sleep. Can you tell me a story?"
"Sure!" Yvette smiled and nodded.
Yvetter thought a moment, "Let me tell you a story about how I pretended to be the Elysium Gate Sect Master to capture the Six Sects. In the World Universe, there are six major sects: Shaolin, Wudang..."
As she spoke, Yvette was transported in her mind back to two years ago.
Ambrose was attracted to her story at once.
When Yvette finished, Ambrose blinked and praised, "You are so powerful. You managed to capture so many Sects. I want to be like you when I grow up."
As he said that, Ambrose thought of something, “Who is the Elysium Gate Sect Master? Why did you impersonate him?"
Yvette replied directly, "He's your..."
Mid-speech, Yvette had a sudden thought. She paused before continuing, "Ambrose, did your mother tell you who your father is?”
'Father?' Ambrose thought.
Upon hearing that, Ambrose tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Isn't Lord Kenny my father?”
Hearing that, Yvette understood immediately. It was clear that Monica thought that Darryl was dead, so she never told Ambrose who his real father was.
Till now, Ambrose thought that Lord Kenny was his biological father.
"Why did you ask that?" Ambrose asked curiously and suddenly became excited. " You still haven't told me who the Elysium Gate Sect Master is."
