“In her memory, North Star’s mother was just an ordinary person, seemingly unrelated to any power in the Independent State, and just as North Star had said, her mother’s health had never been good.
But now, it seemed that North Star’s mother was not as simple as she appeared on the surface, and she seemed to know the significance of the two rings.
At this moment, Ye Wanwan stared at the woman in front of her, wondering if this ring belonged to her and what its meaning was.
Before Ye Wanwan could speak, the woman suddenly sighed and shook her head, saying, ‘Forget it, whether the ring belongs to you is not something I should inquire about or worry about.’
‘Who are you, Auntie?’ Ye Wanwan stared at North Star’s mother, her brows slightly furrowed.
As Ye Wanwan’s words fell, North Star’s mother suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, ‘I am one of the Seventy-Two Death Roses, the liaison of the Death Rose World, and I have seen the new Eric.’
With North Star’s mother’s words, Ye Wanwan looked utterly confused.
Who was she, and where was she?
What was going on?!
The new Eric of the Death Roses?!
Back in Hua Country, Ye Wanwan had already learned from Si Wutian that every generation of the Death Roses’ Black Widows bore the same codename ‘Eric.’
Now, North Star’s mother was calling herself the new Eric?!
Moreover, what was even more unimaginable for Ye Wanwan was that North Star’s mother was somehow connected to the Death Roses and was one of the Seventy-Two Death Roses?!
Although she didn’t know what the Seventy-Two Death Roses were, it sounded impressive.
‘If you don’t know what this ring represents, I can tell you,’ North Star’s mother said, looking at Ye Wanwan, who was completely baffled.
‘Well, go ahead then,’ Ye Wanwan said helplessly, genuinely not knowing the significance of the ring.
‘Alright,’ North Star’s mother nodded. ‘The Death Roses were founded hundreds of years ago, and the first Eric who founded them once fell in love with the heir of a certain great family in the Independent State. However, due to the Independent State’s system, their love encountered significant resistance. In the end, the heir of that great family abandoned the first Eric, and it was only after that that the first Eric established the Death Roses and took on the codename Eric.’
Ye Wanwan looked surprised. So, the Death Roses were founded like this?
‘From the very beginning, the Death Roses had a core rule, and that is the ring you have in your hand. This ring represents supreme authority within the Death Roses. Anyone who possesses this ring has the qualifications to lead the Death Roses,’ North Star’s mother continued.
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but ask, ‘Isn’t that rule a bit lax? If the ring is lost or stolen by someone else, wouldn’t that be…?’
‘If it’s a strong individual, how could the ring be lost or stolen by others? But if it’s a weak person, they don’t qualify to become the Death Roses’ Eric,’ North Star’s mother explained.
Hearing this, Ye Wanwan felt somewhat speechless. The first Eric was either too confident or too hasty and willful.
‘Now, with this ring in your hand, you are the new Eric of the Death Roses,’ North Star’s mother continued.
‘But what if someone takes this ring from me?’ Ye Wanwan asked tentatively.
‘If it’s taken by someone else, you will have no further connection to the Death Roses. The ring belongs to whoever has it, and they become the new Eric of the Death Roses,’ North Star’s mother explained.”
