Chapter 16: The Dilemma of the Ballete Family
In the windowless sanctuary, Roger sat across from Christina, listening to everything about the Ballettes.
It was a secret room, but the candle in front of the statue of the goddess seemed to be affected by some kind of force, swaying gently.
Roger's brow furrowed, and the situation of the Ballett family seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined...... The family is passed down from generation to generation, with only one woman in each generation...... They give birth to offspring and no one ever sees their partner, as if they are undergoing mitosis.
When the next generation of heirs appears, the members of the previous generation will disappear silently, will they disappear, or will they die?
Suddenly, Roger's pupils shrank.
There seemed to be a cluster of lightning flashing through his mind, and a thought involuntarily grew in his mind.
Originally, Roger suspected that Rosarina might be his descendant, but 30,000 years ago, after spending candles in Dolotia's cave room, Dolotia became pregnant, and gave birth to offspring that were passed down to Rosarina from generation to generation.
But that doesn't seem to be the case now.
Will...... The Ballett family has not been passed down for so many generations, and there has been only one member from beginning to end for 30,000 years...... The so-called inheritance is actually just an existence that has been continuously reincarnated for 30,000 years?
And this existence of countless reincarnations over a long period of 30,000 years...... It's his wife, Dolotia!
After all, Rosalina's appearance was too similar to Dolotia's.
This thought made Roger's heart throb uncontrollably, and a layer of goosebumps instantly appeared on his body.
His breathing became rapid.
In his mind, Roger tried to overlap Rosarina and Dolotia again...... However, it was never possible, as if there was some incomprehensible mistake somewhere.
What was wrong, what did he miss?
Roger's fingers were clenched, and his knuckles were a little white under the excessive force, and Christina on the other side could see Roger's wavering, she knew that there must be an inextricable connection between Roger and the Ballett family, but it had nothing to do with her.
Roger is an existence favored by the goddess, she only needs to meet Roger's requirements and tell her what she knows, and she doesn't need to worry about other things.
Obviously, she Christina is the archbishop of St. Lofe's cathedral, and her strength is much stronger than Roger's, but this archbishop is very clever to put herself in a lower position.
She understands that as an existence favored by the goddess, Roger's future is far beyond her reach.
The sanctuary was silent, and there was no movement except for Roger's slightly rapid gasps...... After a long time, Roger breathed a sigh of relief, Rosarina should not be Dolotia.
After all, Dolotia's breasts couldn't have been that big.
The flat figure is imprinted in the soul, and it can't be saved by reincarnation.
"Miss Christina, you go on."
Christina nodded and spoke slowly: "The mystery of the Ballete family is that they almost never have any contact with the outside world except for the necessities of life. ”
"Such a mysterious and long-standing family will naturally attract the prying eyes of countless greedy people, after all, for a long time of 30,000 years, who can imagine how much wealth has been accumulated in this family? Powerful mysteries, precious potions, magical relics? These are enough to make people take risks. ”
"There has never been a break in the attempts to plunder and steal the wealth and treasures of the Ballete family, but none of these people have come to a good end, either dead or missing."
Roger leaned back and muttered, "In that case, why is Rosalina here?" ”
After all, the family almost never communicates with the outside world.
Christina also sighed: "Because, that was the previous Ballete family, this generation...... No, to be precise, from the last generation, the Ballete family has begun to decline. ”
"It is said that the Ballett family of the previous generation was attacked by a mysterious person, and the head of the family died in the conflict, I don't know if it was because there was no time to cultivate the next generation of heirs, the Ballett family began to decline, although Rosalina is also a very talented girl, but after all, she is young, and the cultivation and inheritance of the system are forced to be interrupted, and when the strength is not enough to protect, the family's wealth and secrets are just a disaster."
"Those who are greedy will never let go of this good opportunity, more and more people are peeking into the wealth and secrets of the Ballett family, even the ancestral home has been taken away, Rosarina is not taking the initiative to change the rules of the family, but is forced to get involved in this chaos, becoming a believer in the Dawn and Redemption Church just to seek support."
"The current situation of the Ballett family is very bad, and the side branches are no longer restrained, and they want to oppose the guest."
"And the side branches?" Roger raised an eyebrow.
Christina nodded: "Yes, it is said that it is a distant relative of the ancestors, who climbed to the Ballett family 30,000 years ago, and passed it down together under the protection of this family to the present." But now that the family is weak, the ambitions of the side branches are gradually expanding, and the orders of the family are becoming more and more disobedient, and even trying to replace them. ”
"And that Chloe...... It was the bloated man who had been with Rosarina before, her fiancé. ”
Roger recalled the aristocratic young man, and it was indeed quite ...... Plump, full-bodied.
Christina raised the corners of her mouth and did not hide her disdain: "He is Roland, the real power nobleman of the Loville Kingdom. Count Matt's sister-in-law, a believer in the Church of Storm and War, used despicable and shameless means to force Rosalina to become his fiancée, just to eat the desperation! ”
"Hungry?" Roger's voice was subdued.
"That's right." Christina nodded again: "In this city, there are far more people in this country who have spied on the wealth of the Ballett family than are willing to support her, and you can't even imagine how vicious those people are!" ”
"Rosarina chose to become the witch who supports the kingdom, but also to maintain the existence of the family."
"After all, once you become a witch, you will have a high status, and the family can be preserved, and Rosalina will have time to cultivate her sister, so that after her death, the family can have a new pillar, and the generation of the Ballett family is also different from the previous thousands of generations, and the previous generations were passed down from generation to generation, but Rosalina has a sister by her side."
Roger could feel the depression in his chest, the situation of the Ballett family was worse than expected, and after a short silence, he slowly spoke: "Can Chloe allow this to happen?" ”
"Of course you do."
Christina glanced at Roger in surprise, as if she was a little puzzled that Roger could ask this question, but she slowly explained: "Mr. Roger seems to have some misunderstanding about witches. ”
"The existence of a witch is very important to a country, and the witch can use special powers to ensure that the country is in good weather all year round."
"But if you want to change the celestial phenomena and suppress natural disasters, the power required is very terrifying, and when the witch's strength is not enough to support these consumptions, she can only consume her own lifespan to maintain it."
"It is precisely because of this that although the status of witches is extremely respected, not many women are willing to become witches."
"The longest-surviving witch in history only exists...... Seven years. ”
"For Chloe, he has nothing to lose, he can still spend his days and drink, and he can still enjoy the glory and gifts brought by the witch's wife. As long as he finds an opportunity to kill Rosalina's sister in these few years, and as the witch's husband after Rosarina's death, Koroy can rightfully inherit all the property and secrets of the Ballett family."
Roger's pupils contracted suddenly, and his gaze was dangerous.
It turns out that this is the so-called eating out of households!
Roger, he's really angry.
Chloe, it's dead!
