Chapter 23: The Struggle Between Mother and Son
"Hula-"
An irregular flame suddenly appeared out of thin air, and it rushed directly to the ground as soon as it appeared like a popular smashing the ground, Situ Jin took a closer look and found that this fire was full of light blue light, which was very beautiful.
"It's amazing! Is this magic?"
For conjuring a fire out of thin air, Situ Jin felt novel on the one hand, and wonderful on the other, and for a moment he was immersed in this feeling and couldn't extricate himself.
He didn't know that if the fire he unleashed was seen by other magicians, he would be startled if he didn't die of fright.
The velvet technique is just a fire-initiating magic, generally speaking, the velvet technique released by the magician is only the size of a finger, and the slightly larger one will not be much bigger, the fire that Situ Jin just released, except for the irregular shape, is larger than the fireball released by a normal magician, how can it not scare others?
Moreover, from the beginning of Situ Jin's preparation to the final release of the magic, the entire time added up to less than two seconds, which is normal for a high-level magician, but it is definitely not normal for a novice magician who uses magic for the first time.
In the mainland of Ceylon, magicians are actually a relatively unpopular profession, on the one hand, because there are relatively few people with magical talents, and on the other hand, because it is too difficult to cultivate magic.
The continent of Ceylon is a continent where magical elements are scarce, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for novices who want to cultivate magic. As we all know, magicians rely on perceiving and manipulating the magic elements in nature to release magic, and the scarcity of magic elements increases the difficulty of novices to perceive magic elements, and there are many novice magicians whose magic careers are stuck here.
But Situ Jin doesn't know any of this now. For the next few days, he immersed himself in the wizarding world every day.
On this day, he was still concentrating on cultivating magic, but he received a message from Xiu, saying that his father, that is, Count Situ Nan, had asked him to go home immediately, and he had something to say to him, which made Situ Jin a little surprised, you know, this was the first time in the world.
In the carriage, Situ Jin and Xiu sat inside.
"Do you know what the old man is going to say when he comes back to me?" asked Situ Jin.
Xiu shook his head: "I don't know." ”
At the same time as Situ Jin was walking back in the carriage, in the Earl's Palace, in the old lady's room, a scene of mother-son disagreement was being staged at this moment.
"Situ Nan, don't be delusional, I will never agree to this marriage. The old lady's eyes glared at Situ Nan who was standing in front of her, if she hadn't known in advance, no one would have believed that it was her own son who was standing in front of the old lady.
Situ Nan's face was not very good: "Mother, please don't be so stubborn, this marriage is not bad for Jin." ”
"Hmph!" the old lady sneered: "Nothing bad? You are a fool to my old lady, don't you understand politics at all?"
Situ Nan had a gloomy face and did not speak.
The old lady said again: "Is Princess Theresia so easy to marry? She and the second prince are biological sisters and brothers of the same father and mother, and the relationship between the two is very good, and you have long stood on the side of the eldest prince on behalf of our Situ family, and now you let me marry that Princess Theresia, do you want to push him out of our family?"
"Mother," Situ Nan sighed, "I don't want to do this either, but this is the marriage personally set by the Saint Augustine XXIV, and I can't help it!"
"What's no way?!" The old lady said angrily again: "Don't fool me, do you think I don't know, Your Majesty just said that he wanted to marry our Situ family, but he didn't specify who to marry Theresia, why don't you choose someone else, you have to choose?"
After a moment of silence, the old lady said in a softened tone: "Nan'er, although you were born from my womb, but my mother found that she is becoming more and more unable to see through you now, is your heart really as hard as a rock? Isn't it your son? Think about how you have treated him from birth to now, is this fair to him? He is still just a child!" Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help but burst into tears.
Seeing the old lady crying, Situ Nan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the old lady's hand: "Mother-"
"Do you still hold a grudge against Olivia?" the old lady looked at her son, and suddenly said: "What happened back then, I believe there must be something inside in it, with my understanding of Oliv, she will definitely not want to kill that woman for no reason, do you really only believe the words of that woman?"
Situ Nan spoke: "Mother, this matter has been a long time coming, don't mention it again." ”
The old lady withdrew the hand held by Situ Nan: "I don't want to mention it, but you put the events of the year on a child, no matter how you say it, he is your son!"
Situ Nan's expression was a little gloomy: "Mother, I know that with the passage of time, I have let go of the things of the past, but this marriage is a must-have." ”
Seeing that the old lady was about to speak in a hurry again, Situ Nan hurriedly said: "Mother, you also know that our family is from the line of the eldest prince, and Kai has already been appointed as the person who will inherit the noble title of our Situ family in the future, if he is allowed to marry Theresia, what will the eldest prince think? Not to mention Lei Yao, he is still too young to marry. ”
Seeing that the old lady didn't speak, Situ Nan said: "Mother, for the sake of the family, you should back down once!"
"Family, family" The old lady smiled a little sadly: "For the sake of the family, how many times do you have to let me back down?!"
Situ Nan was silent.
This mother-son dispute finally ended with Situ Nan's silence, but obviously the winner was also Situ Nan, in order to protect the interests of the family, the old lady finally chose to back down, and the core of their argument, and the real party Situ Jin didn't know that his marriage was decided in this way.
After returning to the Earl's Palace, Situ Jin came directly to Situ Nan's study, knocked on the door, and Situ Nan's deep voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
Situ Jin opened the door and walked into Situ Nan's study, this was the first time he came to this room, and it was also the first time he really stood in front of his father Situ Nan.
Situ Nan's study is very large, but because it is full of all kinds of books and materials, it looks a little cramped, in the innermost part of the study near the window, there is a large brown desk, behind the desk is a chair, Situ Nan is sitting on this chair at the moment. His hands were on the desk, his head was lowered and he didn't know what he was writing, but Situ Jin's arrival did not stop him from writing.
was left to the side like this, but Situ Jin was not in a hurry, his eyes stayed on Situ Nan, as if he wanted to see the father in front of him who should make him feel very familiar but actually very strange, this was also the first time he observed Situ Nan so closely.
I have to say that Situ Nan is indeed a handsome man, although he is in his forties, he can vaguely see his figure that swept the entire empire back then. may be because he worked too hard, and his temples had grown a few gray hairs prematurely, but this did not reduce Situ Nan's charm, but made him look a little more majestic.
I don't know how long it took, Situ Nan finally put down the pen in his hand.
