Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 174
Magic Master’s Youngest Son Chapter 174
Larsen sighed inwardly. I knew it would be like that.
‘It is true that he is an outstanding resourceful person.’
It is true that Veronia is resourceful. However, it was difficult to say that he was an outstanding resourceful person, but an exceptionally resourceful person. From the Golden Family Safer.
If he had been an ‘extraordinarily resourceful person’, he would not have been chosen for an arranged marriage by the Maton family head.
‘If he was truly exceptional, he would have inherited Safer and become the head of the Safer family.’
But unfortunately for her, it wasn’t outstanding. By general standards, she was an outstanding resourceful person, but by the standards of geniuses, she was mediocre.
Unfortunately, in the world of ‘Master Swordsman Seid’, most of the protagonists of the master swordsman are geniuses.
‘It has to be different when dealing with ordinary people and when dealing with geniuses.’
Probably a power struggle within Mayton. So, I think my senses have become a bit dull due to the invisible war with my second mother.
This is Seid, not Maton. The war inside Maton and the war outside it, in Seid, should be different.
Larsen took a step forward.
“I’m sorry, matriarch.”
Veronia’s actions are clearly counterproductive. This is because Seid’s matriarch, Karcia, would see through most situations.
You probably already know that Veronia is committing abominable acts. From Karcia’s perspective, she couldn’t help but feel bad.
In this situation, you must first interrupt the flow with provocative words. Larsen had already practiced it several times in his head.
“I assume you have seen right through my mother’s abomination. And I fully understand that it disturbed the head of the family even more. sorry.”
“….”
Larsen’s prediction was correct. Karsia was very upset.
Veronia loves Larsen, the youngest? That doesn’t sound right. Besides, you’re willing to sacrifice your life in place of Larsen? That can’t happen.
Grace is grace.
Let enemies be enemies.
Son upon son.
If you killed Seid’s son on the other side, you must kill Maton’s son on this side. That is correct according to Seid’s additive law.
Seid uses this incident as an excuse to kill one of Mayton’s hostesses? That is petty and dirty.
It would be much more just and common sense to wage an all-out war against Mayton. By Seidga’s standards, it was.
At first glance, Veronia’s request seemed like a mother’s affection for her beloved son. However, in the end, it was either a show to steal the cause or a subtle invitation to pay for the crime by killing Larsen Mayton, since they came prepared to die anyway.
Larsen continued.
“My mother knows very well that the head of the family cannot kill her. Also, the head of the family must have realized long ago that my mother had such thoughts. “I also know that from the position of the head of the family, it may seem like our Mayton is trying to deceive Seid.”
“It doesn’t look like you’re trying to deceive, it’s actually deception.”
Carcia seemed uneasy. Veronia’s method was quite counterproductive. Larsen already knows that. So I showed a card.
“So I present this to ask for forgiveness for my mother’s sins.”
wooden nameplate.
It was a wooden plaque with a name engraved on it.
[Carcia Sade]
The name of the Seyde family head was written on it. Kashin’s eyes widened as he sat next to Karsia.
‘Father’s nameplate?’
My father’s nameplate is not common. It’s not rare, it’s almost non-existent. My father is a man who knows the value of his name very well, and therefore he never entrusts me with a nameplate unless it is for something very special.
Karcia laughed out loud, saying, ‘Huh…’
“It’s my nameplate.”
“That’s right.”
“Five were distributed around the world. And two of them were recovered.”
So, there are only three nameplates left in the world. Larsen brought one of them.
“How did you get it?”
“I got it by chance.”
You can’t get it by chance. Karsia barely noticed.
‘The phaser must have given it to me.’
It was an amazing thing. It’s really hard to like a phaser. It looks like that Larsen guy stole Phaser’s heart. Regardless of the good or bad things, it was an amazing thing.
“I give this back to the head of the family and ask you to forgive my mother.”
“….”
Karsia closed her eyes for a moment and thought. I organized my thoughts in my head. Larsen That guy. No matter how you think about it, he is an unusual guy.
‘It would have been better to hold out that and save my own life.’
The death of a son can be paid for by the death of a son.
Since Seid’s son is dead, if Maton’s son dies, the work will be completed. Regardless of emotions, the causal relationship of the incident is resolved.
In such a situation, if Larsen Maton uses that plaque to save Larsen’s own life, this incident will end. Larsen’s life was paid for with a plaque, and Seid’s life was paid for.
‘That guy is smart. There’s no way you don’t know that.’
Karsia was curious. Why is Larsen making such a foolish choice? I clearly know that my relationship with Veronia is not good, so why am I wasting that precious nameplate on this?
I asked briefly.
“Why?”
It was a question with many implications. Larsen got the gist of the question right.
“This is because I did not want to end the causal relationship of the case with logic.”
“Wouldn’t that be politically advantageous for you personally?”
“But that won’t comfort the heart of the matriarch.”
The person who set up Sayidga is Cha Seong-min. I know the Sayid family well. Persuading them with logic and reason alone is not a very desirable method.
They are a group that pursues ‘humanity’. These are people who always dream of ideals. Logic and reason are important to them, but humanity and emotions are also important factors. This is what Larsen was trying to touch upon.
“I almost lost my own mother when I was young.”
“….”
“As the head of the family knows, I spent my childhood like a motherfucker.”
Karcia also thought that was strange. In the end, it was concluded that it was a ‘secret weapon hidden in Mayton.’ But that didn’t seem to be the case. Focused on Larsen.
“It was an inevitable choice to protect my mother.”
“why?”
“The better I become, the more dangerous my mother will be. As a child, I thought so. “I thought my mother would be safe if I hid myself, became weak, and acted foolish.”
“now?”
“I’m trying to have the strength to protect my mother.”
Karcia nodded. The risk is high, but it is a more fundamental method.
Carcia looked at Larsen again. It was not a variable prepared by Mayton, but Larsen Mayton’s plan. A somewhat cowardly, but realistic and sad strategy to protect oneself and one’s mother.
“The fear of losing my mother. “I felt like the sky was falling just from that fear.”
It was a similar method to how he persuaded Soso. It moved Karsia’s emotions. Through experience and empathy.
“Just the thought of losing my mother was so scary. That was so scary. Losing a mother is like that, and I cannot dare to fathom the sorrow of losing a child. “Because I know that a parent’s love for their child is greater than the child’s love for his or her parents.”
“….”
“So I volunteered to come here. Even though I had a clear plan that could have saved my life and could have resolved the cause of this incident, I did not do so. I didn’t think it was important to sort out the financial relationship. This is not to end the incident, but to sympathize with the pain of the Seid family and to protect the morals that should be maintained as human beings. “I came here to offer a sincere apology to the Seid family.”
Larsen is not a purebred Maton. The Mayton family has the common sense of the Mayton family, but that common sense does not apply to Larsen. To apologize for a mistake. It’s not that difficult.
If you have done something wrong, it is right to ask for forgiveness. No matter how right something was done, if sacrifices were made in the process, forgiveness must be sought from the victim’s family. As a human being, I thought that was true.
I glanced to the side.
“I never thought I would throw away my precious plaque because of my other mother.”
Veronia’s face turned red. All of his intentions were revealed. Shame boiled over. But I couldn’t say anything.
‘Larsen. That bug-like bastard from humble origins…!’
A bug-like person from humble backgrounds.
But he had to admit that the guy was seeing much more than he was.
The person leading this situation now was Larsen, not Veronia herself. I had to feel a deep sense of defeat against young Larsen, who was only 15 years old.
Larsen looked at Carcia again. I couldn’t read the expression. Larsen continued.
“Apart from empathizing with your feelings and apologizing.”
The Sayid family is a family that dreams of an ideal, and is an ideal family that only appears in novels. However, practicality and logic are not completely excluded.
It moved people’s hearts first. Then, now is the time to throw in the rice cake called ‘Sili’.
“Just keeping me alive would be an advantageous choice for the Seid family.”
“I guess so.”
It was separate from emotional forgiveness. The financial relationship has not been resolved. That is, if Larsen Maton is alive. Survival of Larsen Maton. That alone can give you an advantage in your relationship with Mayton.
Because the punishment for the crime has not yet been clearly paid, the justification lies with Seid.
Karcia asked.
“Kashin. “What do you think?”
“I…”
Kashin thought for a while.
“It breaks my heart so much to lose my brother. “I miss you so much.”
“….”
“But I think we must admit that the Maton matriarch made the right choice.
If I were there and a pureblood Maton was there, I would have made the same choice as the Maton matriarch. “What does your father think?”
Karcia thought for a while before answering.
“I would have done the same.”
They also acknowledged that Decatra’s choice was not the wrong choice.
Karcia bit her lip. Larsen’s words moved Carcia’s heart and judgment.
“Larsen Mayton.”
“Yes, matriarch.”
“You have an uncanny knack for moving people’s hearts. “That might be your greatest talent.”
Karsia glanced at her son Kasin and continued speaking.
“It seems like my son is also sincerely hoping to save you.”
“…Kashin is my friend. “If it were the other way around, I would have done the same.”
Carcia finally made a decision.
“Larsen Mayton. “I will not take your life in exchange for it.”
An ideal family. He is the head of the Sayid family. He does not change his decisions once he has made them. And we don’t try to take every advantage that we can from this decision.
“I will replace the price of your life with your sincere apology and sympathy. “The fact that he is my son’s best friend also played a part.”
‘I will take your place’ had great meaning. He said he would completely forget about the incident from now on. It also meant that this case would end without making any further demands.
Veronia was astonished.
‘Nonsense.’
I had no idea that the head of the Sayid family would make a decision so easily. Larsen Mayton prevented an incident that could have escalated into war. It’s that easy too. And so neatly.
“The Seid family no longer takes issue with what happened back then…”
But then.
Bang from afar! A sound was heard. Larsen and Cassin. And Karcia looked at the place where the sound came from at the same time.
Larsen trembled.
‘what?’
Someone was making a fuss, right near the main gate of Sayid Street.
