Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2883

Andrew could not quite describe what he was feeling. Shock, elation, and a trace of disbelief all washed over him,

Valerius' name carried tremendous weight. He was one of the few legendary pillars of the Lloyd royal family of Holtrien.

The Lloyd royal family had experienced several periods of decline throughout history, nearly fading into obscurity among the great houses. Yet, at each critical juncture, exceptional figures would emerge to lead the Lloyd family back to its peak, and Valerius was the most famous among them.

According to the Lloyd family genealogy, Valerius fell in a great battle against the Western Dark Clans. Generally speaking, the Eastern continent, represented by Holtrien, had engaged in several devastating wars with the Dark Clans of the West, each resulting in countless casualties.

Valerius had been a participant, leader, and decision-maker in one such war, yet even someone so formidable never returned. For the Lloyd family, this had always been forbidden territory, a sealed chapter of the past that no one was allowed to mention.

Andrew never expected that by sheer chance, he would find his ancestor's remains deep within the Wraith Graveyard. At that moment, he completely pushed Rosemary, the scheming Ivory Seraph, and the spirit outside, out of his mind.

His full attention focused on the skeleton before him and the words buried beneath layers of dust.

This skeleton must have belonged to a very tall man. Now it sat in a meditative posture.

Yet, that invincible presence still lingered, even after hundreds of years.

This was the pressure of a supreme martial figure. Even in death, its authority lingered.

Andrew got on his knees and paid his respect. Only then did he brush the dust away with his hand, revealing the inscription beneath.
