Chapter 1495
Nicole suddenly thought that Jared and Zane might actually know each other. Otherwise, there would be little
explanation as to why Zane had given her the coffee beans that were procured from Jared's farm.
As expected, Jared maintained a very polite tone with Zane. "I'm fine. It's only right for me to take care of her."
Zane smiled. ’I never expected that you and Nicole are together. I'd have introduced you guys to each other earlier
if I knew that this would happen.
In response, Jared said, "Yeah. It’s a shame I didn't get to see her when I met you back then."
As the conversation occurred, Nicole began to feel a little awkward. She figured that she might probably not have
any feelings for Jared if they had met each other earlier.
"Mr. Spears, how did you get to know Jared?" Nicole asked, as she was a little curious about it.
It was then that Zane realized that Nicole was still there.
In awkward fashion, he replied, "We've known each other for a long time. I first met him when I visited his grandpa,
but he was still a teenager back then."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole lifted her brows and looked at Jared. 'I see. Mr. Spears is a friend of Jared's father. Now I know why he'd
always send him coffee.'
After having engaged in all of the small talk, Zane cut straight back to the chase again. "I'm afraid that your
grandpa has heard about it now that you're here.”
Jared knew what Zane was talking about, as his face took on a solemn expression. "Yes. He has heard about it."
As soon as Jared had woken up, his grandfather had informed him about the Reby Family Crest. His instincts had
clued him in, and that Nicole was his fiancee. Thus, he had rushed to her aid without bothering to keep himself well
rested at all. He was worried that his fiancee would be in danger.
After listening to their conversation, Nicole could almost guess what they were talking about.
Her gaze darkened as she said in a low voice, "I guess the Johnston family is also one of the families affiliated to the
Reby Family Crest, am I right?"
Both Zane and Jared looked at Nicole at the same time, as if they were admitting that what she had said was right.
"Not only the Johnstons, but every other family who were involved in the Holy War back then, and that includes me.
I've heard about it," Zane said.
Zane sat on the sofa and with a solemn look on his face, he said, "Rumor has it that the descendants of the Reby
family retrieved crest and hid it more than a century ago. None of US have expected it to reappear again.
However, every family in the Holy Alliance are bound to the will of our ancestors, and will obey whoever possesses
the Reby Family Crest, no matter what."
"Holy Alliance? Holy War?" Nicole asked, as she could vaguely remember the system mentioning these keywords
when she was searching for the owner of the crest back then.
Zane noticed how confused she was, so he took a deep breath and continued, "It's a long story and it's only briefly
mentioned in our family's records. More than a thousand years ago, rumor has it that a deadly tribe went on a
rampage on our land, and nobody could stop them.
"Because of this, every powerful family in the world had no choice but to form the Holy Alliance to stand against
them. Still, we failed anyway. After that, the Reby family invented a drug, which managed to obliterate our enemies
for good. However, they also lost five of their bravest and most formidable sons in the battle.
"That was why the Holy Alliance had gifted five crests to the descendants of the fallen warriors of the Reby Family
as a token of gratitude."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCarl and Nicole looked at each other after they had heard this myth-like story. "Do people really believe in things like
this in this day and age?"
"Even though some of the allies from a thousand years ago had disappeared, the families that are still around all
have a very long history. All of us value the will and traditions of our ancestors very much. All the families have
documented this incident at the very beginning of their family's history, so the descendants take it very seriously.
That being said, every descendant of the families that are a part of the Holy Alliance will do everything they can to
assist and protect the person who holds the crest," Zane finished.
"But isn't this crest supposed to be given to the Reby family? Why would somebody else own it now?" Nicole said,
curious.
Zane then sighed and said, "According to what my ancestors have documented, somebody coveted the power of
the crest about two hundred years ago, so they stole it away from the Reby family. However, the descendants of
the Holy Alliance followed the orders of their forefathers and obeyed the person who had stolen it nonetheless.
Then, chaos broke out a hundred years later, so the Reby family retrieved the crests and destroyed them. Nobody
would've thought that one of the crests... would be with you now."
Zane stared at Nicole with a look that indicated mixed feelings.
