Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 178
Episode 178 of The Magic Family’s Youngest Son
caught fire in newsletters around the world.
-A new era begins!
-Mayton’s new head of the family. Iron Blood Princess Evelia Mayton.
-Sayde’s new head of the family. Sleeping Dragon Kashin Sayde.
Veronia’s body trembled when she heard this news inside Seid.
‘Nonsense.’
What kind of situation is this? This is not right. After all, something like this is happening while you are being held hostage by Seid – although you are treated too well to be called a hostage.
I ripped out my hair.
“This is invalid!”
Persian had to be installed as the head of the family. She had to take revenge on the family that arranged her marriage to Decatra.
“This… is ridiculous.”
At first I was angry. What came after the anger was sadness.
“why…!”
I held the newsletter tightly. It collapsed in Veronia’s grasp. She hated her family and she hated Decatra.
But then I heard a voice.
“Are you that angry?”
It was Larsen.
“I don’t remember inviting you.”
“Does a son have to be invited to find his mother?”
“I don’t want to see your face.”
Veronia regained her composure. On the surface, it seemed that way. The determination to not let down one’s guard against Larsen was evident.
“I can see the deep resentment towards my family and my father.”
“You’re saying some strange things.”
“Did you ever love your father?”
Veronia flinched. I don’t know what kind of nonsense they are trying to shake people’s hearts with.
“Get out of here.”
“This is a letter from my father.”
Veronia raised her head without realizing it.
‘Correspondence?’
The Decatra she knows does not send letters to his wives. The person who can receive Decatra’s letter is his third wife. No, she’s an abominable woman who I don’t even want to call my wife. There was nothing but lowly blood.
“Do you think I would want to receive something like that?”
“Are you dissatisfied that Sister Persia did not become the head of the family? Are you dissatisfied that your father disappeared without saying goodbye?”
“Neither. Mayton will prosper forever.”
Larsen walked over and placed Decatra’s letter on the table. I bowed politely and headed back. Veronia was in a very emotionally charged state. Cheonan showed his interpretation of the character Veronia.
‘Veronia… loved her father.’
From when I first got into an arranged marriage. From then on, Veronia loved Decatra. And she also hoped for Decatra’s love. I’ve always waited. Then Soso appeared and Larsen was born.
‘I knew that my father’s eyes were always on my mother, but I didn’t admit it.’
So I didn’t bother Soso directly. Because that hurt my pride even more. As time passed, my love for Decatra turned into resentment and hatred.
‘Because human emotions cannot be achieved through effort alone.’
In some ways, Veronia also had a pitiful side. However, I had no intention of sympathizing. Veronia is technically an enemy. He was thinking about killing Larsen himself. Even if you want to look at him favorably, he is a difficult person to look at well.
‘Let’s stop with our impressions here.’
Now that he has delivered the letter, Veronia is someone he does not have. Decatra left the family and Evelia took over as head of the family. Veronia became a toothless tiger. You don’t have to worry anymore.
‘What did the letter say?’
* * *
Veronia sobbed after reading the letter. It didn’t contain much content.
[I know that you have been waiting for me for a long time.]
Decatra also already knew Veronia’s feelings. But I turned away.
He didn’t even give me the slightest affection. I did that on purpose. I thought that was the path for the arrogant Veronia. One day, when Veronia asks him to sleep with her, saying she needs a successor. Only then did he fulfill his duty as a husband.
[But now I don’t think there’s any need to wait.]
Veronia covered her mouth and cried. I resented and hated Decatra, but underneath it all was love.
Because of the fact that there is another woman in the eyes of the person I have been looking at my whole life. That’s why I hated Decatra. In the end, Veronia had no choice but to admit it.
‘I would like to see.’
She still loved Decatra. But I had a hunch. That you won’t be able to see it from now on.
[I still don’t love you.]
It was very Decatra-like content.
[But I won’t make you wait any longer.]
It definitely brought closure.
[I ask you one last thing. This is a request for you, Veronia.]
Veronia’s eyes moved along the letters.
[Larsen Mayton. [Don’t blame that guy.]
Don’t blame him? Veronia was able to quickly realize what Decatra’s intentions were. This was a warning.
A warning not to mess with Larsen Maton. Because Decatra cares about Larsen? That’s not it. That wasn’t the reason.
‘It means Larsen… is that dangerous.’
Although they were not a couple who ‘loved each other’, they still lived together for decades. Decatra’s intention was quickly realized. Larsen is dangerous. We don’t know how Larsen will grow in the future. That’s why it was said not to support Larsen and Chuck.
‘I didn’t even evaluate Evelia this way.’
This meant that Decatra highly regarded Larsen.
‘Was Larsen that bad?’
I know it’s amazing, but was it enough for Decatra to kindly warn you by leaving a separate letter? Veronia knows Decatra. Most people don’t leave letters like this. There is no indirect warning given in this way.
‘Larsen Mayton… did he have that much potential?’
I put the letter down on the table. Then the letter burned down on its own. It seemed that Decatra did not want to leave his final warning to the world.
Veronia lay down on the bed. I closed my eyes.
‘Larsen.’
I hate Larsen. He also knows that he came here because of Larsen’s scheme.
‘Larsen…!’
I took a few deep breaths. I couldn’t sleep, so I woke up again and drank a few glasses of wine. When I went outside, there were so many stars. Shooting stars fell.
He said, looking up at the night sky. I controlled my breathing.
“Your warning. “I won’t forget.”
I decided to forget Larsen from now on. He forced a smile.
I don’t think I can maintain a good relationship with Larsen. But I won’t support Larsen and Chuck.
I decided to live like that as if I didn’t exist. She trusted Decatra’s judgment.
Ironically enough, there were some parts that I was looking forward to.
‘I’ve never given that kind of evaluation to the first guy or Evelia.’
I had great expectations about how accurate the eyes of the man Veronia loved were.
‘I’ll keep an eye on Larsen Mayton to see if he’s really that good.’
And even though I’m sure that won’t happen, I still held out one last hope.
‘I hope I can see you again someday.’
* * *
Bonghwangchae.
This is the building where Kashin and Larsen originally lived together. However, since Kashin Seid ascended to the position of head of the family three days ago, Larsen has been using the Phoenix House alone.
smart.
A knock was heard. I knew who it was even before I heard the knock. Larsen was already sitting in the chair.
“What business do you have at this hour, matriarch?”
“do not do that.”
“Because I’m going to go.”
The two boys looked at each other and smiled. Tea was also prepared in advance. Larsen took a sip of tea first.
“Drink it. “Hampton’s special flower tea that calms the mind and body.”
“okay?”
Kashin also drank tea. We looked at each other. Some time passed. Kashin opened his mouth.
“Larsen.”
“Don’t be afraid.”
Many problems remain for Kashin as well. Kashin does not yet have the power to control the entire family. Some of the elders left the family in protest against the family head’s decision.
The world’s doubts continued as to whether the Seid family, whose absolute being called Carcia Seid disappeared, was indeed the Seid family of the past.
Of course, the content covered by recent newsletters was about the power structure of the three major families.
-The Seid family led by the 15-year-old matriarch. Is it really one of the top 3 famous houses?
There was even talk about this.
-Isn’t this great news for Mayton?
-Ivelia is already a mage who is obsessed with expanding her power.
-Isn’t there going to be a war?
This was a topic that was also heavily covered in the newsletter. Kashin Seid’s potential is enormous, but he is still young. Couldn’t grow.
On the other hand, Evelia had already reached the level of an archmage. I achieved Circle 7 at a young age in my late 20s and will become Circle 8 in the not too distant future.
A gap widened between the two families. Evelia might start a war. It was okay even if there was no justification. When the power is equal, the cause is important, but when the power difference widens, the cause is not important.
Evelia may choose practicality over justification for the sake of her family.
Larsen spoke again.
“Don’t be afraid.”
“Did you see that I was afraid? “I thought I was hiding it well.”
“I’m your friend.”
“….”
Kashin was actually afraid. It wasn’t that he was afraid of Evelia, but the weight of the family he had to lead was too much.
“You are much stronger than you think. I told you. This world is for you. Just do what you think is right in a world that is for you. “It’s simple.”
“….”
Kashin finished drinking his tea before he knew it. Actually, there was no particular reason for coming to this place. I just wanted to talk to Larsen. I expected Larsen to say something like that.
“Thank you Larsen.”
“There’s nothing to be thankful for. “Because I’m trying to survive too.”
Kashin chuckled. It’s better if you say it like that.
“I’m glad I have a friend like you.”
“Kashin. “You know what’s going on these days, right?”
There is public talk that Mayton may attack Sayde. I can’t confirm if that’s true, though.
From now on, I decided to talk realistically. There is also a need to make the protagonist who dreams of ideals aware of reality.
“The Evelia I know is an extremely warm and gentle person.”
“….”
“But he is someone who can become infinitely cold for the sake of his family.”
“I know that.”
“Now, if you could cross the Black Sea and conquer Seid, you would do it. But Mayton has no justification. You will be criticized by the public. “You will get a lot of criticism and you will lose trust from people.”
“….”
“But Seid will suffer a blow equivalent to destruction.”
Kashin also nodded. I didn’t know my father’s absence would be this big.
If only there had been 10 more years. Still, the empty space wouldn’t have felt this big.
“And Sister Evelia will be executed.”
“You’re going to be executed?”
“He will be executed by someone in his family. Arbitrarily.”
That’s what Larsen’s Evelia would do. Silly will get drunk. But that practicality is a practicality without justification. It was a practical point that should not be taken into account.
Nevertheless, we will take advantage of it. Because this was an opportunity that would never come again.
“A new family will be born who will punish the rogue family who waged an unfair war of conquest under the banner of justice. Sister Evelia will do that.”
“….”
“Maton at that time will become a new Maton, and by then it will be one of the world’s second largest families, not one of the world’s three most famous families.”
Maton takes the Silly, and Evelia carries the Infamy.
That was the character Evelia that Larsen saw. It will move like that. A picture was drawn in my head.
Just like a writer is drawing a story.
