Youngest Scion of the Mages - Chapter 60

The Youngest Son of the Magic Family Episode 60

Evelia had a letter in her hand.

[To my respected sister, Evelia.]

The letter that started like this contained a brief greeting and information about what Larsen wanted from Evelia.

“It would have been better if it had been affection rather than respect. “It’s better if it’s love.”

To be honest, Larsen was a little taken aback by those words. Evelia laughed lightly. I was a little amused to think that that kid was also embarrassed. I guess I could say I saw something unexpected.

“You want to leave Lydia to me?”

“yes. As I said in the letter, Lydia can no longer grow here.”

Unfortunately, this is Seid, a swordsman master, and it is impossible to find a good magic teacher here.

“So, are you asking me to raise a girl who doesn’t even have Mayton blood?”

“It’s not like that.”

The Evelia that Larsen understands is a person who can do anything for the ‘Mayton family’. A person who considers the Mayton family as his top priority above all else.

“That child is bound to me by a special contract. So you have no choice but to listen to me.”

“however?”

“And I will listen to you.”

Evelia stared at Larsen.

“Do you mean to be mine?”

“If you will take me back.”

10 years later. After some kind of incident, Decatra goes missing, and Evelia takes over the hegemony of the Mayton family. If you’re going to stick with it anyway, it’s natural to stick with Evelia.

Evelia asked herself.

‘Why am I not feeling so well?’

How dare someone like the youngest boldly send a letter to himself asking for something?

‘I don’t think so.’

Evelia thought back to when she first received the letter. When I received the letter. Evelia was excited, even if only slightly. It was because it was the first letter I received from another family member. It was an unfamiliar and new experience for Evelia. However, the letter was full of only business-like vocabulary. Not dear, but to my esteemed sister. A letter that starts like this. Evelia didn’t realize it, but she didn’t like this extremely stiff content.

“What on earth have you been doing for the past year?”

Frankly, Larsen felt unfair. He is confident that he has had a harder year than anyone else. Of course, everyone feels the pain they experience the most. However, for a year experienced by a 10-year-old, there were too many diverse and dangerous experiences.

‘But… what you said is not wrong.’

It is true that he did not grow from a wizard’s perspective. Amount of mana. The quality of mana itself was not much different from a year ago.

“I focused on creating a vessel to contain a purer concentration of mana within my body.”

“bowl?”

It was an unfamiliar concept to existing wizards.

“Martial arts. And mana of the transcendental attribute puts an enormous burden on the body. This is because it does not draw on the power of nature like regular elemental magic. And it is similar to martial arts, so it is destructive.”

Evelia listened to Larsen in silence.

“So, I am now in my growth period. I am working hard to make my body suitable for magic and transcendental mana. “You may think that the direction of your efforts is wrong.”

Larsen made eye contact with Evelia.

“If you trust me and watch over me for just a few years, I will definitely live up to your expectations. “So that it can at least be used as a variable.”

“….”

Evelia felt a little worse.

‘He only says the right things in every detail.’

From what Evelia understands, Larsen is a variable and arrangement prepared by her father. A variable is just a variable. Its role is not to create the main flow, but to reverse the main flow at unexpected moments. So, you can go a little slowly. So as not to be noticed by other brothers.

‘That’s all true…’

This is Evelia, who also knows about magic and transcendental properties. It’s an area I haven’t experienced directly, but you don’t necessarily have to experience it yourself to know everything. I don’t think Larsen’s method is completely wrong. Efficiency is bad, but as a ‘variable’ it seems to be growing steadily.

‘I don’t feel very good.’

Evelia said.

“so. How have you been?”

“I’ve had a hell of a year. However, that hellish year will definitely be of great nourishment to me.”

That business-like answer made me feel even worse. Evelia finally decided to be honest with herself.

“Larsen.”

“Yes, sister.”

“Who do you think I am?”

“A pureblood of the Mayton family and the most likely mage to be the next head of the family. A person who continues the path of magic. “Aren’t you Evelia?”

“I am your older sister.”

“…yes?”

Evelia read the letter in her hand once again.

“For a letter to your sister, it’s too stiff and too business-like. You are not my direct report now. “It means there is no reason to send a letter like a business report.”

Larsen was once again taken aback.

‘what?’

The reason Evelia is in a bad mood. I think I understand. Evelia seems to have come here not as a ‘successor candidate’ but as an ‘older sister’.

‘I guess I misidentified people.’

3When dealing with Princess Persia. And the strategy when dealing with the second princess Evelia must be different. I didn’t know exactly when I was in the Mayton family, but now that I’ve seen it for a long time, I understand.

‘Just as Kashin is hungry for affection, so are you.’

Why had I forgotten this simple fact? Evelia is a genius who is about half a generation older than Kashin. However, he is a lonelier person than Kashin. Kashin has a family who loves him. Evelia is not like that.

‘Not to mention my father. All brothers are competitors.’

That’s the situation.

‘In such a situation, I have no desire to be the head of the family.’

If you think about it,

‘Wouldn’t I be the first blood relative to send a letter to my sister?’

If so, wouldn’t that be a pitiful life in its own way? Born into this crazy family where everyone is a competitor, he has that personality and lives as the noble and cool-headed number one among his brothers. Living in a world without anyone on my side. For Evelia, it might be punishment.

‘We need to change our strategy.’

To survive in this crazy family and world. Each person must develop a separate response strategy.

“I thought you liked me acting like this.”

“I?”

“I thought you only wanted to see me as a variable.”

“….”

“Of course, this wouldn’t be wrong.”

There is an older sister, Evelia, and Evelia, who is a candidate for head of the family. Although they are the same person, they have two sides.

“But it wouldn’t be wrong to say that you want to see me as a family member.”

I also remembered how happy he was when he told me he would give me flowers as a gift. Evelia smiled faintly.

“family. “That’s a good thing.”

To Larsen, that laugh seemed like a self-mocking laugh.

“It’s also a warm word. “I’ve been thinking a lot about what family means while living here.”

“okay?”

“yes. “The atmosphere here is very different from Mayton Street.”

“I heard the atmosphere was very soft.”

Larsen knew.

‘You say that, but I’m actually jealous.’

Evelia, whom I met after a long time. I was able to find out more about her.

“sister. “It’s been a while since you’ve been here. Would you like to talk to me?”

“We’re talking now.”

“Not like that. “I was a little curious.”

“what?”

“How was your past year? “Have you eaten today?”

A faint, invisible smile began to appear on Evelia’s lips. Larsen saw it too. Larsen asked.

“If you have time, would you like to eat together?”

“okay.”

“I’ll go to the garden later and give you some flowers. “The blue tulips there are very pretty.”

* * *

Dinner with Evelia was surprisingly very enjoyable. Larsen was able to come to a conclusion.

‘It’s definitely different from Persia.’

It was completely different from the three princesses, those inhumane monsters. Evelia was definitely a personable person.

‘But…’

It is also an undeniable fact that he is a pureblood of the Mayton family.

Evelia as a family member was quite a warm and nice person, but Evelia as a successor candidate was also a cold-hearted and scary person.

“We’ll be leaving at 6 a.m. tomorrow, so get ready in advance.”

Larsen almost sighed as he watched Evelia walking out after dinner. Evelia said this.

[I don’t believe in just lip service. I remember exactly your accomplishments and appearance from a year ago. So, prove that you have grown compared to a year ago.]

Achievement in one year. Prove it. It leaves at 6 am.

‘Where? what?’

That wasn’t told. They only told us that we would be leaving at 6am.

“100 million. It’s a surprise. “When did you show up?”

“It is good to drink tea after a meal, Confucius.”

“no. “It’s good if you show up and pretend to be popular.”

“You need to be aware of your reputation, Confucius. I was the enemy…”

Larsen interrupted.

“If you were my enemy, I would be dead. “Is this what you mean?”

I’ve been going through something similar for a year. Heira was always strict, and the level of strictness was too much for 11-year-old Larsen to chase after her.

“If I can read your presence in the first place, I’m not 11 years old.”

Even the main character, Kasin, can’t do that.

“Hey. “Did you hear the whole conversation?”

“yes. We’ll wake you up early so you can depart at 6 AM. “I don’t know how long the journey will be, so I will prepare emergency food and water in advance.”

“What kind of test are you preparing for?”

“You know exactly what you accomplished a year ago. So, they will give you something that was impossible a year ago and is possible now.”

What could that be?

‘There will be many things….’

We leave here at 6 am. It’s a pretty early start. There seems to be a reason to get off to a quick start.

‘I wasn’t able to hunt a year ago, but based on your standards, I think I’ll choose a monster that I can hunt after training for a year.’

As soon as he thought about it, Larsen felt lighter. I thought back to dinner from earlier.

‘I was accepted with my younger brother Larsen.’

I remembered cherishing the blue tulips. At that time, there was a calm smile on her lips. However,

‘variable Larsen has not yet been accepted. Is this it?’

I lay down on the bed. 6 am. I thought it would be a good idea to get some rest beforehand.

The day dawned. Current time is 5:30 am. Larsen opened his eyes on his own without Heira waking him up.

‘If I had to leave for a long time, I would have asked for permission from the head of the Seid family.’

Anyway, Larsen is now entrusted to the Sayid family.

If something goes wrong with Larsen’s life, the responsibility could lie with the Sayid family.

‘I can’t go far.’

A situation where you can’t go far. Since you have not prepared for the test in advance, it will be an exam that you can prepare for on the spot.

6 am. As promised, I met Evelia in the yard of the annex.

“You have a nice expression.”

“Good morning, sister.”

Did you sleep well? I was going to say that, but I changed it a little bit.

“Did you sleep well?”

Evelia flinched at that simple greeting. It was a confusing feeling. I like it because it’s not businesslike. What can I say, I wasn’t used to it. It wasn’t something I was used to, but it didn’t feel that bad. It’s a very common morning greeting, but it wasn’t common for Evelia.

Evelia did not show it.

“You look good?”

“It can’t be. “I was worrying all night about what test my sister was going to give me, so dark circles went down to my chin.”

Evelia grinned.

“then. Do you know what to do?”

“yes. “I had to find out.”

Larsen also grinned.

“Because that was my sister’s test.”

My sister. Because she is a person who is sure about public and private matters.
