A Man Like None Other - Season 9 Episode 8

“Pfft. Who would want a hug from you?” Lizbeth rolled her eyes at Jared.

Just then, Melanie and Renee came up to them, and they were both in bathing suits. Renee was the younger one out of the duo, but after months of not seeing her, it was obvious the young lady had grown a lot.

“Jared!” Renee was delighted to see Jared there.

“Renee? Why are you here? Where is Leonidas? I thought you were with him?” Jared found it weird. Back when the Lagrange Monastery was destroyed, Renee’s father, Erasmus, was killed. After Jared avenged him, Renee was taken away by Leonidas. So why is she here?

“Leonidas went into isolation, so…”

“All right, we can talk about this somewhere else. This is not a good place to speak.” Josephine tugged at Jared’s sleeve, and Renee swiftly zipped her mouth shut.

At the moment, everyone on the beach was glaring at Jared enviously, for he was surrounded by four gorgeous women. They would have killed to be in Jared’s place.

“Where’s my sister, Jared? I thought she was with you. Don’t tell me she’s still in Mapleton?” Melanie asked Jared while they were on the way back.

“Your sister has left Mapleton. Your parents were killed by Poison King, just as we suspected.” Jared told Melanie about the events that took place in Mapleton and explained all about the history between Poison King and Melanie’s parents.

All the while, Melanie listened quietly to Jared’s explanation. Even though she knew that Poison King had killed her parents, she didn’t seem to be too sad about it. After all, she had never seen her parents before, and she felt no love for them.

Jared and the ladies came to a hotel. It was the same one Jared had come across earlier, but since the ladies were one step ahead of him, they already had rooms reserved for them.

They led Jared upstairs, and Josephine knocked on one of the rooms’ doors. Rayleigh came to open it for them, and when Jared saw the other person who was in there, he was dumbfounded.

“D-Draco?” Jared’s eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected to see Draco in the hotel out of all places.

Ever since Draco got out of prison, Jared almost never saw him again. He tried to get into jail to see Draco, and he even tried to use his connections to bust Draco out of jail, only to learn that the elderly man was already gone when he tried to extract him. Jared was confused when he found out about the news back then.

He never thought that their reunion would happen in a hotel, nor did he expect Draco to be with Josephine and the others.

“Come in. We can talk later,” Rayleigh called out to him. Jared snapped out of his thoughts and hurried into the room.

He was surprised to see so many faces in the room, and he needed an explanation to catch him up to speed.

Draco turned around and told Renee, “Renee, take everyone to the room next door. I need to talk to Jared. Alone.”

Renee nodded before leading the ladies to the room next door, leaving Jared alone with Draco and Rayleigh. Right after the ladies were gone, Draco and Rayleigh went down and kneeled before Jared, much to his surprise.

Jared quickly pulled Draco and Rayleigh up. “What are you guys doing? What is the meaning of this?” He still didn’t understand what was going on.

“Mr. Jared, I think it’s time to tell you who you really are, and the legacy you have inherited.” Draco stared straight at Jared, and he started tearing up as he told Jared about his origins.

Jared listened quietly. He was already prepared for it, but the truth still shocked him nonetheless. It turned out Jared’s guess was spot on. He was a child of the Deragon family, and his mother was the second princess, Renalia. Draco was the Deragons’ butler, while Rayleigh was Renalia’s bodyguard.
