Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 171
The youngest son of the magic family, Episode 171,
Soso opened his mouth.
“Larsen.”
As always, Soso’s eyes were full of love for her son.
“My dear son.”
“Your mother.”
“So what you’re saying now is that I should persuade him to bow to the Seid family?”
“…To sum it up, yes.”
Soso shook his head.
“I’m sorry.”
“….”
“He is the highest person in the world. At least for me.”
mother. What kind of worldly nonsense is this?
Cha Seong-min, a 21st century South Korean citizen, wanted to refute, but could not. This world is not the Republic of Korea in the 21st century, but a fantasy world set by Cha Seong-min.
“But if he persuades me to bow down to Seidgar, there will be no worse punishment for me than that.”
It’s a problem even if you apologize, and it’s a problem if you don’t.
I don’t know what’s so complicated about this damn world.
“And honestly, I don’t have the confidence to convince him. Regardless of my thoughts, He will achieve what He wants. And Maton is not afraid of Sayde.”
“….”
Larsen listened in silence to what Soso said. I knew it wouldn’t move all at once anyway.
“Besides, he did the right thing. The peace we have today was also achieved by Him. Also…”
Soso expressed his refusal for a long time. After hearing all that, Larsen opened his mouth.
“Everything your mother said is correct.”
This is all common sense. At least in this world. This is not an apology among ordinary people. It was an incident that killed his son. It must be announced worldwide and an apology must be made publicly in front of the entire world. Regardless of the post-war process, that fact alone becomes a major political issue.
A small image can be created that the Maytons have surrendered to the Sayids. To the absolute, image and status are like life.
‘Historically, there has never been a time when the head of one of the world’s three most famous families bowed his head and apologized to the head of another family.’
You might be wondering what’s so difficult about apologizing, but it’s not. No matter how detailed the situation and background are, ultimately what the world remembers is Mayton bowing down to Seide.
That’s one fact.
‘Not only that…Decatra did the right thing.’
did the right thing If wide-area magic had not been used at that time, greater damage might have occurred now.
Even if Decatra had been the 1st Prince of Mayton instead of the 1st Prince of Sayde. Still, he would have used area magic to kill all the creatures around him.
‘Anyone who believes they have done the right thing… cannot apologize.’
No matter how well you do it, it will only amount to an ‘expression of regret’. And that level of ‘expressing regret’ is not enough to satisfy Sayidga. Seidgar does not forgive those who kill their relatives.
In the end, when Decatra killed Prince Seid, Mayton and Seid crossed an irreversible river.
In order to cross that river, a ‘true apology’ and ‘appropriate compensation’ are needed. Decatra has no intention of satisfying those two conditions, and Sayid will not yield either.
Larsen opened his mouth.
“Everything your mother said is right, but….”
“….”
“I lost my son.”
Larsen made eye contact with Soso.
“You’re healthy now, Mom.”
I have decided to change the world. If I was going to do it, I had to make sure I did it.
“I can read heavenly energy. “That’s why I forced my mother to drink Karutin flower tea.”
“Caroutine flower tea?”
“yes.”
Soso still drinks carutin flower tea every morning. From the point Larsen forced me to go, I haven’t missed a single day.
“It cured my mother’s disease [the blue dot].”
“….”
Soso was a little shocked. It was that car that cured the ‘blue dot’. I thought it was somehow strange. Little by little, I feel better, and now I know that I will not die. But I didn’t know it was because of Larsen.
“Your mother will remember that time too. “I didn’t have any proper support base and was a scumbag who did crazy things and was out of sight of my family.”
“…Larsen.”
“You don’t have to comfort me. Because it’s what I chose. Anyway, I recommended Karutin flower tea to my mother. “In the end, my mother got better.”
This fact revealed on the surface is not important. The important thing is this.
“But do you really think your father doesn’t know this? What happened within this family? “Something to do with your mother?”
“….”
Soso’s eyes widened. I had never thought about that part.
“I had to take a big risk at that time. “What if it were known that someone like me, who has nothing, can read heaven’s energy?”
Treasures shine when they are possessed by those who have the power to protect them. Without strength, the treasure is robbed.
“It was dangerous for me. “If someone like me is known to have eyes like that, Sister Persha might bury me in secret right now and take away my abilities.”
I don’t know if it’s true for Persia, but it worked for Soso. Suso’s body flinched. Larsen continued.
“But I didn’t hesitate at all. Do you know why?”
“….”
“Because I wanted to save my mother.”
“….”
Soso’s eyes turned red.
“Because I thought it would be nice for my mother to be by my side.”
“….”
“And I know it well.”
“….”
“The fact that my mother loves me much more than I love her.”
Rasen also felt very attached to Soso. I actually think of her as my mother. But not my real mother. I don’t love you as much as my real mother.
I couldn’t help it. Although I like Soso, she was not my real mother.
To Larsen, Soso is a mother character, but to Soso, Larsen is a real son.
How much Soso loves Larsen himself. Larsen knows better.
“I don’t even dare to measure that feeling.”
Parents love their children. This is a phrase that is usually used even in that strange fantasy world. There is a lot of war between blood relatives, and the Mayton family that neglects him is special and strange. Ordinary parents love their children as beings.
“And Carcia Seid would have loved her son too. More than anything else in this world. “I would have loved you more than I loved you.”
“….”
“Father, you did the right thing. That was probably the best thing to do at the time. But it is also true that the head of the Sayid family lost his son.”
Larsen asked.
“Can a mother ignore the sorrow of losing her child?”
* * *
Decatra moved to the ‘Badger Annex’. So as not to be noticed by people. Moved to warp. When coming to the Badger Annex, I usually went to the warp. It was because he cared for Soso.
Soso greeted Decatra wearing thin silk pajamas. I wasn’t surprised when I saw Decatra appear in the warp. Because Soso is now familiar with this situation.
“You came.”
“I missed you Soso.”
Decatra approached Soso. As time passed, Decatur became more honest with Soso. I opened my heart to Soso a lot.
“I missed you too.”
Soso also opened his heart to Decatra. Decatra hugged Soso lightly. He said while holding Soso.
“however. “It’s a little different than usual.”
“…yes?”
“I feel like I have a lot of worries.”
Although I expressed it as a ‘feeling’, it was a certainty.
Decatra recently felt a ‘heavenly power’. Although I could not express ‘heavenly power’ specifically as ‘heavenly power’, I unconsciously realized it.
Like Larsen, he has realized an ability similar to a sixth sense.
I felt it instinctively. He brushed Soso’s hair.
“I hope you don’t hide anything from me.”
“Actually…”
Soso said.
It took me almost an hour to say that. I said what I thought very slowly and carefully. In short, it was said that a sincere apology must be made to Carcia Seid, the head of the Seid family.
Decatra chuckled.
“If it had been someone other than you who said this, I wouldn’t have forgiven you.”
“…sorry. “I didn’t mean to make you angry.”
“I’m not angry. “I just don’t like the fact that all those thoughts came from someone other than you.”
Decatra saw the entire situation through his conversation with Soso.
This is not Soso’s idea. no. Even if Soso’s thoughts are right now, someone tried to influence Decatra himself through Soso. He is a very cheeky guy.
“Larsen. “Is this a request from him?”
“….”
Soso couldn’t lie.
“What a cheeky guy.”
If you’re going to say something like this, it’s better to say it yourself. Of course, if I had done it myself, Larsen would have been severely punished. Having to apologize means that you made a mistake, which means that Decatra did something ‘wrong.’
“Soso. I will ask you. “Then should I have saved 1st Prince Seid then?”
“….”
“If I had been driven by passion and saved the man, Cyanelle would have recovered.”
“….”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been able to kill Cyanelle then. Cyanelle would have thrown the world into chaos.”
“That is not wrong.”
But that matter and this matter are different. No matter how right he did, the head of the Sayid family lost his son.
“Is it difficult to separate and apologize?”
Decatra lay down on the bed. With a wave of his hand, Soso’s body was lifted up. Suso’s body floated in the air. Soso was familiar with this situation. I entrusted myself to Mana.
Soso snuggled into Decatra’s arms and lay down. Decatra said while holding Soso with one arm.
“The cost of lives I am responsible for is too high for me to apologize.”
It’s not just a matter of pride.
“The countless lives that believe in me and follow me think of me as absolute. The absolute must always be right. You can’t apologize when you’ve done the right thing, right? The moment I apologize, I have done something wrong. From that moment on, I no longer belong to them.”
“Does it have to be their absolute self?”
“sadly.”
Decatra nodded.
“In a peaceful world, I would have apologized. Carcia cared for my son a lot. I think that part is regrettable. “I had bad luck.”
“….”
“But even today, less than 30% of the land has been colonized by humans. It’s a terrible world where countless people lose their lives and are eaten by monsters every day. The absolute good that cannot be wrong in this world. The existence of the Absolute is an essential element. “They look up to me like a god and live without losing hope.”
hope.
That’s an important value.
No matter how hopeless a situation is, if there is hope, it will not collapse.
“Do you want to become the Absolute Good?”
Want to become one? I hadn’t thought about that.
“It doesn’t matter what you want to be.”
“Then?”
“I was born that way.”
He continued to brush Soso’s hair.
“The moment when you can be the human Decatra Mayton rather than the absolute Decatra.”
I slightly raised my body. I kissed Soso.
“There is only this moment. “This moment with you.”
But at this moment.
I had to think of Decatra, the absolute being, not Decatra, the human being. It’s a moment when I want to forget the world and just be a human being. That time was interrupted.
No matter how much I thought about it, Larsen was disgusted.
The night was deep.
Soso fell asleep in Decatra’s arms. Decatra stood up.
‘Larsen. You…’
There’s no way Soso would have made this decision or said this on his own. It seemed like Soso was used.
warped.
Maple Annex. Toward Larsen’s room.
“I guess you already knew I was coming.”
“Are you here, father?”
“And that I feel very unpleasant.”
“…sorry.”
Larsen was sitting on his knees. That moment. Decatra discovered something interesting.
‘What is this?’
