The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 782

Chapter 782: The Truth Of Deity Of Star Constellation

As they continued to discuss more, Drayce was unusually silent.

"What are you thinking about?" Arlan asked.

Drayce replied after a short silence as he looked at Evanthe, "Other than Solon, there is another deity that might help us."

Everyone looked at Drayce in surprise.

"Who are you talking about?" Evanthe asked.

"When Oriana was abducted to the Demon realm and we had no way to reach her, Mother had a way to help us," Drayce replied. "You went to someone to ask for help to set the star constellation, which could allow us to enter the Demon realm. The one who could have control over such a powerful phenomenon like the star constellation must be a deity—a deity who is in charge of setting the star constellation."

Evanthe and Xyron looked at each other as if they understood who Drayce was talking about.

"Mother, if possible, you can ask for that deity’s help. If they helped us back then, they might help us again—to enter the Heaven realm and even more," Drayce added.

Evanthe fell silent while the others looked at her.

"Evanthe, can that deity help us if you ask them?" Draven asked.

"That deity of the star constellation... he is Drayvor... Drayce’s father," Evanthe replied, shocking everyone.

They couldn’t believe Evanthe had gone to him for help for the sake of Oriana.

Drayce felt at a loss for words as well.

Xyron spoke, "Though he was no longer a god, he still remained the one to control the star constellation."

"He won’t help us against the Heaven realm," Evanthe added. "There is no use in talking about him."

There was a short, tense silence as she said it.

"Mother, that means you have a way to find him?" Drayce asked.

"I have a way to communicate with him when I am in need, that’s it," she replied.

"How?" Drayce asked, his tone serious.

Evanthe looked at him. Until now, he had never probed about his father, and today, he suddenly wanted to know everything. "Dray, if you think you can go to him and get him to help you against the gods, it will never happen. He is bound by the oaths he took when he turned into the Devil. So, you better drop the idea."

Drayce remained unaffected, though his mother had seen through him. Only he knew how desperate he was to protect his mate, and for that, he was willing to get help from anyone.

"Mother, I just want to know how you contacted him," Drayce said, his tone and gaze resolute, as if he would not let it go unless he got the answer.

"It’s because I was sad that I could not have a child," Evanthe replied. "He wanted to fulfill my wish, as I could only have a child with him."

"He wanted to fulfill his woman’s wish. That wish gave him a chance to be with you—something he could never achieve due to the oaths he had taken," Drayce replied. "No matter how grand anyone makes it sound, to me, it will always be the same. All of this was just so he could have a child with you and then what? Leave that child to suffer on his own after you two have fulfilled your selfish desires."

Evanthe had no words. Drayce had never blamed her for anything, even after they reunited, but it seemed the bitterness he had been suppressing in his heart was finally surfacing—driven by his desperation to protect his mate.

She was to blame. Though she had her own difficulties, in the end, she could not deny that her son had suffered. Apologizing to him would never be enough.

Drayce stood up and left the drawing hall.

Silence settled over the room as they looked at each other.

Arlan stood up as well. "I’ll check on him," he said, before leaving.

It was the first time even Arlan saw Drayce losing his composure like this and even going to the length of blaming others. Seren’s absensce was truly affecting him gravely.

"Evanthe, he is just too restless," Draven said to her. "I am the same, but I have no one to blame but myself."

"I know and I don’t blame him. I and his father, we both have failed him," Evanthe replied as she looked at the empty chair where Drayce was sitting till now.
