Act 155. Imprison

Reiner learns a lot about the Elbiore family from Avina.

It turns out that there are certain rules for marriage in pure-blood families, and generally speaking, only the eldest son who has the right to inherit can continue the offspring, so the current head of the Elbiore family can have three wives.

If the eldest son dies without giving birth to an heir, then his wife will marry the second son, and so on, and sometimes even a staggering ethical relationship.

And with William. Feng. Elbiore's contemporaries also include a male, George. Feng. Albiore, who is not married, takes care of some of the day-to-day work on the estate.

George and William are half-siblings, two years younger, and usually live in seclusion, even Anvina, who inherited her mother's work from a young age and was sent to the manor, has never met a few times.

As for Elemia's mother, Martha, who was originally Lord William's favorite sister, but she didn't expect to have an affair with outsiders, and even gave birth to a child, and was later imprisoned in the highest tower in the castle, and died of illness five years ago.

"Wait a minute, what happened to Lady Martha's fornication?"

Reiner asked, it was impossible for Elimia's mother to be unaware of the consequences of fornicating in such a conservative family, but why did she even give birth to a child?

"At first, no one was aware of it, but later, when Miss Elimia grew up, everyone found out that there was a problem."

Anvena said, as if she had said all the words that had been suppressed in her heart for so many years.

"As you can see, almost all of the people of the Elbiore family have blonde hair, and in fact, there are very few people with pure blonde hair in this area of Beger City......"

She stroked her long blonde hair, and could see that Avena's bright gold was mixed with a little different color, and it was not pure.

"Master Elbiore and Madame Martha have bright blonde hair, but Miss Elimia's hair is as red as a flame."

Hearing Avenna's words, Reiner did recall Elemia's long crimson hair, which was indeed very different from Edward or William, and he hadn't noticed it at first, but after Avena's explanation, Reiner suddenly realized.

"But, wait, does hair color say it all?"

Reiner asked rhetorically, although it is indeed strange to say that two goldens have one red hair, but is it a bit too hasty to judge Lady Martha's fornication with other people based on this alone?

"Since it was an affair with someone, did the man find it?"

Anvena nodded.

"At first, they questioned Lady Martha, but she refused to admit anything, and later, the Elbiore family searched for people who had been to Beagle City during that time, and finally found that Lady Martha's former classmate, a man named Ron, had come to visit Lady Martha, and he happened to be red-haired."

This Ron did not become a mage, but inherited the family business and became a traveling merchant, but after being discovered by the Elbiore family, he was immediately captured and returned to the castle, and after a month of torture, he confessed that he had an affair with Madame Martha, and hanged himself the next day.

"It's so weird, it's obvious that it means to be beaten."

Reiner said that he had thought that these pure-blood mages were just stubbornly conservative, but now they seemed to be the scum of the human race.

"These were discussed among our servants at first, but then one thing convinced everyone that Miss Arymia was an illegitimate daughter."

Anvina pondered the words and said slowly.

"Because she doesn't have the ability to inherit the bloodline of the Elbiore family."

As Reiner learned, the reason why the bloodline mage is unique is that it can fuse the abilities of some magical creatures with his own bloodline, so that he can gain great power, and the twenty-seven existing pure-blood mage families have completely different bloodline abilities.

In order to keep the bloodline's abilities untainted, they came up with the method of marriage to keep the bloodline pure, which was not so much a violation of ethics as the best choice that the bloodline mage could get for a long time.

Remembering President Dmitry's words about efficiency, Reiner couldn't help but sigh.

According to Avena, the Elbiore family's bloodline ability is to control fire without casting spells, which comes from a magical creature called the Saroman Serpent, which feeds on flames and can dominate flames, and the ancestors of the Elbiore family are fused with this bloodline.

And Arymia is completely unable to awaken this family ability, which is also the biggest proof that she is considered an illegitimate daughter.

"Miss Elemia will not be Master Edward's official wife, but will be like a slave, a tool for him to vent his desires, as was the case with most of those illegitimate daughters with impure blood in the past."

Anvina said, her voice tapping down.

"How can this be ......"

Claire, who knew the cause and effect, was a little powerless, she didn't expect that there would be so many things involved after this, and now it seems that wanting to save Arymia is not as simple as she thought at the beginning.

"So, to sort it out, Elemia thinks that she is an illegitimate daughter, and her mother has committed a crime, so she will obey in front of Elbiore's family, and if she marries Edward in the future, she will definitely reap a miserable life, right?"

Hearing Reiner's summary, Anvina nodded silently.

"If you want to change that, what do you do?"

Reiner asked, sending Avena with a surprised expression.

"No way, no one can disobey the Elbiore family, they are the supreme authority in this land......"

She exclaimed, trembling a little.

"Listen, Anvina, I need your help."

Reiner took the maid's hand, causing a few shades of crimson to run over her face.

"It's not disobeying your master, it's just helping Elimia."

Avena was silent for a moment, and it was clear that she didn't want Arymia to be a slave just like that.

"What do you want me to do?"

She asked.

"I need the genealogy of the Elbiore family for the last three hundred years, preferably with some text description or image, and I also need a record of the male who had an affair with Madame Martha, including when he came to Beger City and when he left."

Reiner said that after listening to Avena's explanation, he already had an idea in his mind, but what the truth was still needed to be carefully demonstrated.

"Huh? These can be obtained, but what is the use? ”

The genealogy of the Elbiore family is in the library of the castle, and it can be accessed when cleaning, and as for the records of Mr. Ron, there should also be written records, but Anvina doesn't understand what these records can mean.

"Secret."

Reiner put his finger to his lips and made a boo gesture.
