Melody of Strength 249
The members of the Klein family were puzzled.
What good news could the Hell Monarch possibly have to share with the Klein family?
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Derek continued, “Prince Rafael discovered a child beggar in Greenbrook County, who bears a striking resemblance to the late General Sinclair’s second son. His Highness called him by name, and to his surprise, the child beggar responded=”
Anthony found this absurd, and interrupted Derek, “Mr. Walker, so His Highness saw someone who resembles Ryan and reported it to His Majesty. What is the significance of this? Just because someone looks like Ryan doesn’t mean it’s him. What’s the point of reporting this to His Majesty?”
Anthony was not only perplexed, but also angry. The loss of Yvette and Ryan was a deep wound for the Klein family, especially for the Klein family matriarch, who could. not bear to hear such news.
What kind of good news was it to report seeing someone who merely resembled Ryan? It caused everyone in the family to rush home. To hear it was for this absurd news made Anthony irate with Rafael.
Derek raised a hand to calm them. “Please, don’t be anxious. If it were just a resemblance, His Highness wouldn’t have traveled from Greenbrook County to Eldoria, Lady Sinclair went to Eldoria several days ago. It has now been confirmed that the child beggar is indeed Ryan Sinclair, the son of the late General Sinclair’s second son. They should be arriving in the capital in a few days.”
His words sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
Anthony’s face darkened as he vehemently denied, “It’s impossible, absolutely Impossible! Ryan’s dead. I held him myself… stitched his body together! Mr. Walker, you can’t say this. We don’t believe it. I don’t know if Lady Sinclair knows it’s true or not, and claim that the child beggar is Ryan, I know she hopes that someone from her family survived, but that’s impossible!”
Diana had already started to cry. Her daughter and grandson had been dead for two years why would such a disturbance occur now?
Was Carissa out of her mind?
Derek saw their reactions, and said, “His Ma

Whether you believe it or not, you will find out the truth when Prince Rafael and Lady Sinclair return to the capital.”
With that, he left.
The members of the Klein family exchanged glances, their faces reflecting a shared sense of absurdity.
Diana cried for a while before choking out, “Please don’t report this Mother. She won’t be able to bear it!”
Sophia replied, “Fortunately, we haven’t informed her yet. However, the physician has already given her the Heartshield Pill.”
A profound sadness settled over everyone again, their mood darkening as a cloud of sorrow enveloped them.
Edward sighed heavily, sitting in a chair and staring blankly at the courtyard outside. His thoughts drifted to his understanding daughter and his lively, intelligent grandson. His heart ached as if it were being torn apart.
Who wouldn’t wish for it to be true? But how could it be?
He had seen the bodies of his daughter and grandson with his own eyes. The death of his grandson was particularly tragic. Though his face was unrecognizable, the bell- shaped gold bracelet on his wrist was not. Ingrid had specifically commissioned it for Ryan’s fourth birthday.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
So, there could be no mistake.
Derek’s visit had drained the light from everyone’s eyes, as if the events of that day were being forced upon them once more, stirring a deep discomfort that they didn’t know how to dispel.
Anthony pondered momentarily, then sent a servant to Northwatch Estate to inquire whether Carissa had gone out.
When the servant returned, he reported that Carissa had left on the Starlight Harvest Festival and had gone alone.
“She left on the day of the festival itself. She must have been very anxious,” Sophia said, looking at her husband.
“She…” Anthony wanted to voice some complaints about Carissa, but remembered their previous meeting. He knew she had never truly let go, and was suffering greatly.
