Blood Oath Tower, third floor.
Su Yue stood in the ancient hall with flickering candlelight, feeling the blood surging in her body. The "Blood Shadow Flower" bloomed silently again, and the petals opened one by one in the depths of her soul, as if responding to some forgotten oath.
The black-robed man opposite, Ares Seran, was looking at her quietly.
"Su Yue Isers." He read the name without any emotion, "That's your mother's real name."
Su Yue's eyes were shocked. This name had never appeared in her mind. Since she was a child, she was called "Su Yue", without a surname, without a background, only a childhood hiding in exile.
"You said... you are not my father, but she loves you?" Her voice was low, like the first question after years of repression.
"In the world of royal descendants, love is worthless." Ares walked down the steps slowly, his black robe dragging an ancient atmosphere like mist. "She was originally a candidate for the throne, but because she fell in love with me, she was deprived of her bloodline qualification and expelled from the family tree."
Su Yue asked softly: "Why did she keep me?"
Ares stopped and looked at her:
"Because you are her 'oath flower'."
Su Yue was stunned.
Ares turned around, took out a sealing stone from behind the altar, and slowly placed it in front of the candlelight.
"Among the royal descendants, few people know the true meaning of the 'flower oath'. It is the oldest sacrificial oath in the blood of the ancient throne - with blood as the root, soul as the branch, and offspring as the flower."
He handed the sealing stone to Su Yue.
"This stone contains the soul oath she made before her death - only you can solve it."
Su Yue took the stone, and as soon as she touched it, her fingertips were pierced by a cold light. A drop of blood slid down, and the lines on it suddenly glowed, and a faint blue light emerged, instantly pouring into her body.
Boom——!
Consciousness fell, just like a dream.
She saw a snowy field, and blood flowers fell like snow.
A figure stood on a cliff in the distance, wearing a red robe, long hair dancing in the wind, but his eyes were full of tears.
"Yuer." The man turned his head and smiled.
The voice was gentle and clear.
Su Yue's heart trembled suddenly.
"You don't have to be a royal descendant, and you don't have to live for blood."
"You have to be yourself."
"Even if the world will tear you apart, even if the blood oath will destroy you, you must bloom your own 'flower'."
At that moment, Su Yue finally saw clearly-it was her mother, Su Yue Iss.
"I will give you the flower oath. Your flower, you name it."
The picture was broken.
Consciousness returned.
Su Yue suddenly opened her eyes, and a ray of light red flame ignited at her fingertips, like blood and petals.
"I understand." She murmured.
Ares nodded: "Her will is already alive in you. You are now... the heir of the oath flower."
Outside the tower, the wind and rain suddenly came.
Ethan and Mia had been waiting for a long time, and seeing her face change slightly, they both stepped forward.
"Are you okay?"
"I know who I am now... more than ever." Su Yue said word by word.
"I want to collect debts from the royal descendants."
"I want to go to... the royal blood platform in person."
Ethan's face sank: "Are you crazy? That is the ritual place for the royal descendants to sacrifice blood and inherit, and only those with the purest blood can enter."
"Haven't you been expelled?"
"But I have the flower oath." Su Yue raised her hand, and the blood-red flame in her palm gently jumped, as steady as breathing.
"I don't need them to acknowledge my identity. I want them to... fear my existence."
Two days later, at the border of Night Rest City, Xiling Ancient Road.
A group of three people, wearing cloaks, walked on the foggy night road.
"The King's Blood Platform has been closed to the outside world. It is said that the five major royal branches have sent candidates to compete for the inheritance of the 'Blood Chair'." Ethan flipped through the intelligence, "If you want to go in, you have to pass through the 'Blood Bone Pass' in the south, but that place is occupied by the Cyrus family."
"Cyrus..." Su Yue whispered, "That's the branch that forced my mother to death."
Mia said: "The 'Double Moon Bloodline' they inherited is famous for controlling people's hearts."
"If you want to enter the King's Blood Platform, you must confront them head-on."
"Then charge." Su Yue's eyes burned with cold fighting spirit.
"I want to let them know that 'Flower Oath' is not an excuse for bloodshed, but a name that makes them tremble."
She turned her head and looked at the distant blood-colored mountains behind her, where the roots of the ancient royal lineage were located - the King's Blood Platform.
And she, alone, will shake the lifeblood of the entire ancient blood royal family.
The night fell, and a red meteor flashed across the sky.
That was the signal of the blood world -
The new "Royal Lineage Competition Ceremony" will be opened at the King's Blood Platform in seven days.
At that time, all the royal bloodline branches, exiles, descendants of the old oath, and hidden bloodlines will gather in the mountains.
Blood will flow.
Life will be sworn.
And Su Yue, in the name of "Flower Oath", will challenge the arrogance of the throne and the shackles of bloodline.
