CHAPTER SIX: ANCESTRY (6)

"Are you going to take your memory back? I will look for your book. You can-" Ellarian finally stops crying and lets the boy go. She wipes her eyes as she stares at the boy's face. Dion is trying to remember his past life. If he does that, he will find Marianna again, right? Even so, if this man remembers Marianna, then it's acceptable. She can deal with it. But, the answer that she receives from this boy blows her mind.

"I want to live a different life. I don't remember how I lived before, but she told me to find happiness. It seems that I didn't find it in my past life."Dennis just told her the truth. What is left in Dennis's memories are Dion's regrets. He has no memory of Dion when he and Marianna spend time together.

Dennis is sure that if he regains all of his memories, he will not be able to forget Marianna. His feelings are too deep. This time, he will stand against his fate and find his destiny. To live a typical life, graduate, find a job and move to the countryside, he can live peacefully.

No war, no bloodshed, not even a responsibility. The happiness that Dosdite tells him might come from his freedom. As long as he is free, he will be happy.

"Past life? Dennis, what are you talking about?" Claude is becoming more concerned. He knows that pureblood vampires inherited their ancestors' memories, but Dennis inherited his ... past life memories?

"Sir Claude. I can't tell you more than this. Miss Ellarian, I want to change my family name. Can you help me?" Claude has a close relationship with Adrianna. He needs to stay away from this man. He has enough money to support himself. What he needs to do right now is destroy their family record.

Usually, the patriarch of Acardia needed to attend the meeting. But, because Dennise is supposedly human, his name can be erased anytime. Even if he dies suddenly, they won't care about him.

"Of course. Sit first. Dennis Acardia? Please think of your surname. But I suggest you take the name of one of the dukes. I know they will do anything to get you adopted by them." Realizing what her master desires, Ellarian rushes to the stairs and searches the book of the fate of the Acardia eighth generation. The fairies were following her.

"Claude. I will go back by myself. If you want me to stay away from Adrianna, We can't have any relationship." Dennis stares at the blue eyes. The same color as Marrianne and Adrianna. Claude tries to separate them. He will respect that choice. Adrianna might be the incarnation of Marianna. Nevertheless, they have different beliefs and faith. She is not Marianna.

"How much do you know?" Claude asks another question. This time he laughs and reaches out for the gun behind his back. Eric was wrong. This child is a threat. Pureblood is dangerous because they have memories of their ancestor. But for a pureblood that reincarnated, there is only one person like that in history. The only person that has that type of power.

"Not much. But I know that person will get hurt if I stay by her side. Like the others. You should leave. I will tell Natalia to send me back." Dennis wants to stop his relationship with Claude if it means that he can avoid his relationship with Adrianna. Claude didn't buy it. It seems that his sister-in-law's hunch was correct. If Adrianna falls in love with Dennis, they will repeat history.

"You're the former vampire king. Tell me, are you planning to start a war?" The only creature that can return from their past life and be awakened as a Pureblood vampire is The Vampire King. His name is Dion V. Alistair, the man that leads to 60% of human extinction.

Only a vampire monarch has the authority to reincarnate. No, it should be a vessel's recreation. This boy is no longer just a little boy. He's a monster that can threaten humanity. He needs to inform Eric about this.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm Dennis." Dennis can only tell Claude this answer. He doesn't want to live as Dion. He will live as Dennis. Claude walks away as Dennis stares at him. Claude is the first person who appears in his life. Day, it's not even a day, but he can feel the sincere emotions that this man gives him.

The first natural feelings that he gained from another human. That's why he should stay away from Claude. That way, he can live away from Marianna. No, it's not Marianna. Her name is Adrianna. Closing his eyes, Dennis remembers the sight of Adrianna.

Dennis saw it. The bright blue eyes dimmed. Marianna and Marianne die in his hand because he chooses to love them. Marianna's sacrifice and his salvation ended up hurting both of them. His memories are not whole, but he has no intention of completing them. To destroy his past and start a new chapter. That is what he was thinking.

When Adrianna looks back at him, Dennis is subconsciously aware he will end up hurting this person. For this reason, Dennis chooses to abandon his heart and give her freedom. That's why when Adrianna stared at his back, he didn't look back. He is not Dion, not the vampire king. He is Dennis.

"Sir! I have your information here!" Running down the stairs, Ellarian rushed and showed him a dark green book. Acardia family 8th. Ellarian opens the first pages and discards the name of Dennis Acardia. Suddenly, a grey book appears, and the name Dennis is written on it.

"Thank you." Dennis touches his books and returns them to Ellarian. He will not live as Dion. He will grow up and live as Dennis. He will start everything over. A new reason to live with a new determination.

"Where is sir Claude?" Ellarian suddenly asks. She thought that she should be thankful for that man because he returned her master to her. Not to mention, Claude's handsome face scores a high number of likeability from her.

"He has something to attend to. Do you know anything about Valentine Academy?" Lying through his teeth effortlessly, Dennis looks at the woman. Years have passed, and he ought to know what happened in Valentine City during his absence.

"Oh, the old palace? I will kick them out if you want to use it." Old palace? It appears Valentine Academy's base is the Valentine Kingdom's old palace. He wants to go back. But, he is aware of it.

There is a problem. The moment he returns to Valentine, he will become more like Dion. Even though he has Dion's fragmented memories, he doesn't want to remember how Dion lives. He knows when that moment arrives, Dennis will disappear.

"No, not really. I need you to find a living place. I don't care how much the price is. Make sure it is far from the populated area and has a basement. Instead of a house, I prefer a mansion. Can you find some of them for me?" Xandra should be the current hunter's headquarters because of the population of humans on their land.

It might be hard for him to get a house, but with Ellarian's help, he should be able to find some places without revealing his identity. Now that he cut off his relationship with his family, Dennis can live freely as he wishes.

"Xandra? Sir, the human capital name is now Locraine. By the way, you only need a house in Canelis?" Locraine. As if the name of Helion Locraine? He should have houses in all other places. Having a base in every city can help gather more information and connections.

"Canelis, Valentine and... Locraine." Locraine is Marianne, the right-hand man. Why did she use his name instead of Calvaine? Shouldn't they respect Marrianne instead? Dennis shook his head. He needs to forget. He should live ordinary life at this moment.

"Alright, Sir. This is it. I already erased your name. You can create a new surname, sir." Ellarian nods and asks for his surname. For some reason, the name Evenar and Ariel stuck in his brain. He doesn't know why he considers that name. He should be thinking about Dion and Marianna's titles.

He shrugs it off and gives Ellarian his surname. "Dennis Rievenar."

"Alright. I will send someone to send you back. It's in the north forest, right?" Closing the book, She waits for the answers from her master. Dennis scratched the back of his head. How can he explain to this woman that he didn't live with the Acardia?

"..." Sensing the hesitation in her master's eyes, something flashed through her mind. A human born in an aristocratic werewolf family. Understanding the severity of her master condition, she grips the hem of her dress and releases immense essence of murderous intent to her surrounding.

"Sir, you are not the person who abandons their family. What did they do? Master! Your family-"Dennis knows that he messed up. Ellarian is protective of his condition. If he let this happen, she might tell his former allies to attack the Acardia family instead.

"Ellarian. I'm fine now. Can you find me a house right now? And a servant." Trying to diffuse the burning rage, Dennis distracts her by giving her an order. Ellarian is a good servant. She will be able to find someplace for him to stay. He needed to have a servant. If Ellarian buys a mansion for him, he needs someone to take care of it.

"But I-Yes, Sir." Ellarin doesn't refuse Dennis's words and quickly runs towards the fairies while shouting about the most expensive house and high quality. Money is not a problem. He suddenly misses Dosdite.

Dennis holds the new book written with his name. He has no authority to open the book. Dennis let go of the book. Instead of falling to the floor, the book returns to the shelves on the second floor. Dennis walks towards the sofa next to the staircase. He falls into a deep slumber.

"Madam, please wait a moment. The librarian is busy dealing with something." A man with pointed ears is wearing glasses with a blue suit. Rune knows his teacher is not someone who will disappear because of a mere vampire. It means that this man is meaningful to her teacher.

"How dare you block my path! I am Lady Acardia's important guest! Today I bring my son to register his awakening! Have some respect!" A woman screams in his face as he tries to stop her from entering the library. She needs to wait for the librarian and his teacher to return.

"I hope you can lower your voice, madam. The librarian guest is here. Please lower your voice." Hoping they won't disturb the man's slumber, Rune asks the woman to lower her voice. If he makes this man displeased with his action, his teacher will kill him. Unfortunately, the so-called guest is looking at him with a frown.

"What with these noises-" Dennis opens his mouth. He is thinking of having some rest. How did he fall asleep instead? It seems that Ellarian hasn't returned yet. Looking at the clock on the wall, it's showing 2.00 p.m. Dennis can hear someone shouting.

"Sir Rievenar! I apologize. The teacher told us not to disturb your rest they-" Rune hurriedly bowed towards the sluggish guest. This bad! Before he can continue his words, a bark of laughter can be heard behind him. A familiar appearance falls into his sight.

"Haha! Sir? That trash. What with the name? Rievenar? What are you doing here?" The redhead is quite familiar in his eyes. Dennis stares around. He looks unimpressed. What a noisy man. He still remembers the loud boy. He is the person who punched him in the stomach yesterday.
