The Witt Family
"Mother, where are we going now?"
"Go home."
Under the moonlight.
Ripples spread across the calm lake surface.
The two beautiful goddesses, their faces beaming with smiles, walked hand in hand out of the lake.
The one who looked more mature suddenly pointed to the White Tower Castle not far away and laughed.
"Mother, look, that White Tower Castle is completely different from the real White Tower Castle; it only shares the same name."
Geruiya was once the Empress of the empire and had given birth to several children, so she naturally looked more mature Rosela.
Rosela laughed upon hearing this.
"Yes, things have changed."
Geruiya gazed intently at the White Tower, then suddenly spoke.
"Mother, the White Tower has changed beyond recognition, but I want to know, after hundreds of millions of years, does our White Tower Family still have any descendants?"
Faced with this question from her daughter.
Rosela chuckled softly.
"The White Tower Family was wiped out once long ago."
"Ah!"
"But, Geruiya, the lineage you descended from still exists."
"Really, Mother?"
Geruiya was pleasantly surprised.
In fact, at her and Rosela's level of status and power, bloodline and descendants are no longer very important.
Because the blood relationship between the two of them is the most unbreakable in the world.
But Geruiya always felt that her mother, Rosela, wouldn't stay by her side forever.
It was her intuition.
She didn't ask what kind of power her mother, who had rescued her, possessed.
But Mother, one day she will leave you.
so.
She wanted to find her bloodline.
Thankfully, Rosela said, they were still there.
"Then, can I go see them?"
"Certainly."
Rosela nodded.
She is already the Sovereign of the Sacred River Heavenly Land. All she wants to know about the entire Sacred River Heavenly Land is to take a look at the River of Time.
Moreover, even if the White Tower Family perishes, she can bring them back.
that's all.
Rosela brought Geruiya to the eastern part of the Northern Border, to a small town built against a valley.
Sunlight spills onto the cobblestone streets of the small town, where wooden houses are scattered about, and dried herbs and ears of wheat hang from the eaves. The blacksmith's shop chimes along the street, and the bakery wafts the aroma of wheat.
Flower vines climb the stone walls, children chase butterflies, and the shepherd's flute echoes softly. A stream flows through the town, and birds sing in the branches.
An ancient Magic Crystal track comes from the other side of the river, where the ancient and the new coexist.
The two stood on the clouds, looking down at the small but vibrant town below.
Rosela spoke.
"This is the White Tower Family's current territory."
Geruiya couldn't believe it.
"Is there any other territory in such a small place?"
"This small town is all there is."
"Oh, by the way, they're not called the White Tower Family anymore, they're called the Witt Family."
"Wow, they even changed their surname."
Geruiya was speechless.
"Yes."
Rosela looked at her displeased expression and laughed.
"It's already quite remarkable that it has survived this long without relying on my power."
Do you want to know what happened between them?
"Of course, Mother."
Geruiya asked without hesitation.
Rosela nodded, her eyes scanning the River of History of the White Tower Family, seeing their rise and fall over millions of years in a single glance.
"Back then, after you died... and left..."
"The Sera Empire you founded was destroyed by the Witch Nation, and the White Tower Family was massacred. It wasn't until many years later that I returned here and found one of your descendants, who then established the Second Sera Empire."
"After the Second Sera Empire had been passed down through your bloodline for several generations, it was replaced by other high-ranking nobles as emperors."
"The White Tower Family then retreated to the Northern Border, ruling the North Grand Duke of the Northern Border."
Many more years have passed. The White Tower Family has experienced periods of decline and rise, and even returned to the throne several times.
"The family lineage is also very prosperous. Because of your bloodline, many of the younger generation are quite capable, and some have even produced Legendary for several generations."
"The real upheaval occurred approximately 300,000 years ago."
"Back then."
"The Second Sera Empire no longer exists; the Human Empire Harol has unified the Northern Continent."
"At that time, Grand Duke Moshi White Tower of the Grand Duke of the Northern Border was unwilling to submit to the Harol Empire, but instead wanted to establish his own duchy, which displeased the emperor at the time."
"After."
"The Harol Empire sent troops to attack the White Tower Duchy, Grand Duke Moxi surrendered."
"The Emperor of the Harol Empire then stripped him of his title, demoting him to marquis."
"This Human Empire did not sever the White Tower Family's bloodline; it merely weakened the White Tower Family's territory."
The White Tower Family remains a prominent noble family.
"This is also an unspoken understanding among nobles."
"But several hundred years later..."
"The White Tower Family chose the wrong side in the struggle for the imperial throne, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, he began a bloody purge."
The White Tower Family was brutally purged; only a portion of them escaped, and they were taken in by a group of noble families with whom they had a long-standing family relationship.
"But they lost all their territory and went into hiding, and it was at this time that the Witt Family was born."
Many years passed afterward.
"A member of the Witt Family, having rendered meritorious service as Knight, became a baron and received a small fief."
"It has been passed down to this day."
Rosela gave a brief overview of the history of the Witt Family below.
After hearing this, Geruiya sighed.
"As expected, there are no great noble families with a history of millions of years."
"However, I'm fortunate that my bloodline has been able to be passed down."
"By the way, Mother, did none of the White Tower Family, except for the Witt Family, have their bloodlines passed down?"
Rosela smiled.
"Of course, some became ordinary people, eventually fading into obscurity, their bloodlines ending in the yellow earth."
Some became Merchant, and perished in the depths of the sea.
"Some were abandoned by their former noble allies, who used them to gain the new emperor's trust."
"All of these things have left no bloodline behind."
"Okay, Mother."
Geruiya sighed.
She looked at the land, then turned to Rosela and spoke.
"Mother, the Witt Family, they just want them to exist here, don't they? I'll go home with you first, and then come back to find them."
"By the way, Mother, where is our home?"
You'll see when you get there.
Rosela smiled.
