NovelEnglish“…You’re a lot like Will in terms of magic. We all know you’re smart, but I never thought you could achieve something so extraordinary.”
Grandfather looked at me with admiration before saying,
“I will teach you magic. Starting today, you can come here every day.”
“But I don’t have any books…”
“You don’t need a book; I’ve got it all in my head.”
“Thank you.”
I bowed with the corners of my mouth raised.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat a wonderful teacher. After all, I didn’t learn any new magic at the Magic Academy.
“So, let’s talk a little about the Ravaal Kingdom for now.”
Saying this, Grandfather sat down on a nearby chair.
I took a seat by the large window. Albie also returned to his serpent form and moved closer to me. The black cat jumped onto Grandfather’s lap.
What a wonderful time we were having. With these thoughts in mind, I listened to Grandfather’s story.
His story was very shocking. It was too much for me to take in.
It seemed that there were two royal families here, the Sanchez and the Harrist. Both of them were powerful, and it was said that they could not be reduced to one royal family.
That was why they established a system of changing the government every year. That was the Sanhari system.
It was a simple name that was easy to remember, but I should not mention their naming sense.
At first, the Sanhari system worked well, and both families got along well. But then I heard that an incident happened in this generation. It was an extremely complicated case.
The head of the Sanchez family fell in love with the daughter of the Harrist family, while the head of the Harrist family fell in love with the daughter of the Sanchez family. The current king was a member of the Sánchez family.
Vian was a prince, but Victor was also a prince. Since both families had a male successor, both their children had the right to succeed to the throne.
Both families were very big, so they were going to marry each other’s relatives. You might say this was incest, but they didn’t say it was. They were so big that there were so many branch families that the gene pool would have been thinned out enough. The person who held the most power among them could take the position of king.
The story was a bit too complicated to be believable….
Victor was adopted by the Sanchez family and has been living with them since he was a child.
Both the Sanchez and Harrist families often had blond hair and yellowish-green eyes, so Victor’s placement with the Sanchez family would not be particularly out of place.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter hearing everything from Grandpa, my brain was on the verge of a short circuit.
“Um, Grandfather…”
“What?”
“Isn’t this a complicated story? Why did it have to be so difficult this time?”
“Well, love is like that. Even if you know it’s not good, they can’t help it. Well, it seems that some of the branch families married members of other families.”
“Because of that, the family tree would end up becoming a maze.”
“Family trees did not matter to them. They do not care about the past, they only look at the future.”
“So this is what cultural shock looks like.”
My little murmur echoed in the quiet, airy room.
