Chapter 879 Angus's Troubles

"Do you know about your second sister's affairs?"

"I don't know." Weilin shook his head and answered very straightforwardly.

Seeing this, Angus sighed and said, "Your second sister Orthea's marriage is a problem. Your mother softened her heart after your second sister's crying, which put the matter in a difficult situation."

"That paladin named Kesiril has good talent and is a good candidate, but the family has invested a lot of resources in your second sister, and we must see the results, otherwise it would be my dereliction of duty as the clan leader."

"If he chooses to marry into the family, this matter can be left unsolved and I can choose not to interfere."

Upon hearing this, Weilin put away the smile on his face and asked in a deep voice, "Father, does this mean he doesn't agree?"

"You can say that." Angus nodded and replied, "Under your mother's obstruction, I was forced to compromise."

"The plan your second sister proposed is that after she and Ksiril marry later in life, she will repay the family's investment in her within a hundred years."

"However, this plan was opposed by Earl Andusi and Earl Misis. Earl Hurricane neither supported nor opposed it. As for Earl Blood Moon, he did not express his opinion."

After listening to his father's words, Weilin picked up the teacup and asked calmly, "Father, do you want to ask about my attitude?"

"Yes." Angus nodded in response.

"Father, I'm sorry, I don't want to get involved in this matter." Weilin drank the tea in one gulp, put down the teacup, and said calmly, "If I use my resources to train someone, I can choose to give up or take a tough attitude, but the extraordinary resources and human resources consumed in training my second sister belong to the family, and you, as the patriarch of the family, can represent the family, so the decision is now in your hands."

"However, father, I have to remind you that if you do this, it will cause trouble for my eldest brother."

"Once this precedent is set, it will be difficult to deal with if others follow suit."

Angus fell silent after hearing this.

He knew exactly what Weilin had said.

Xuemiya picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Weilin, and then sat quietly by the side without saying a word.

As a member of the royal family, she has a clearer understanding of these things.

Behind her marriage to Weilin, she represented her parents in exchanging interests with the Aix family.

As for what was traded, Weilin didn't know, and neither did she.

But the royal family must have gained considerable benefits from the Ex family by releasing a golden high-level arcanist like himself who was less than a hundred years old.

The same thing can be applied to the second sister Oltheya and the civilian genius Xiliel. The Ex family has invested resources in Oltheya, and if they want to let her go, they must get corresponding benefits.

A great noble family like the Ecks family did not care about the friendship of a commoner genius.

If the other party has a strong background, the Aix family will definitely be happy to facilitate such a marriage. This is the reality.

During the conversation between her father and her husband, she could not express her opinion and all she could do was listen quietly.

After thinking for a long time, reason overcame emotion.

Angus sighed and asked, "What do you think?"

Weilin stared at his father and asked, "Father, how far do you want to go?"

"Try...try not to drive your second sister crazy."

After hearing this, Weilin fell into deep thought and began to think of a reasonable solution.

The simplest way is to turn love into hate. He would find a woman and make the paladin fall in love with her. In the end, his second sister would see this and cause the relationship between the two to break down.

It is easy to say but difficult to execute.

Both of them have mouths and have been together for so long, it is difficult for such a simple trick to confuse both parties.

After a long time, Weilin looked up at Angus and said, "Father, this is difficult to handle. Why don't we lock up our second sister?"

"Lock her up for a hundred years. If she still loves that paladin, then let them be together. If she changes her mind, a paladin of the Soul Rank who is over a hundred years old is still very young. As long as we spread the word, there will be many sons of great nobles willing to marry her."

Angus looked at Weilin deeply and replied, "You might as well not tell me this method."

Weilin spread his hands and said very straightforwardly, "The easiest way is to make that paladin disappear. Unfortunately, you won't let me. Then I have no other choice."

"How about letting your grandpa do it?"

"I don't think so." Weilin curled his lips and said, "Given his personality, he probably won't pay attention to such things."

"Ugh--"

Seeing my father sighing, it seems that my second sister’s matter really makes him worried.

Of course, my mother played a big role in this, otherwise, with my father's character, he would never be so indecisive.

"Father, I'm thinking about this matter slowly. When I have a solution, I'll tell you in detail."

"Okay, that's the only way."

Angus rubbed his temple and said helplessly.

After discussing some other matters, Weilin took Xuemiya out of the study.

Walking to the window, opening it, and looking at the knights training on the training ground, Angus's frenzied heart gradually calmed down.

Over the years, he has become somewhat indecisive, but this matter must be resolved before passing the throne to Ilysis, otherwise he will definitely make a wrong decision out of consideration for family ties.

On the other side, after leaving the study, Weilin went to look for the castle's steward Rocas.

"Master Weilin, what do you want?"

The old butler saw Weilin, bowed and asked respectfully.

"Uncle Rocas, no need to be so polite. I just want to ask for some information about Harriet." Weilin stepped forward to help him up and asked politely.

After hearing this, Rocas thought for a moment, and after finding Harriet's information in his mind, he said to Verin, "Master Verin, Harriet Akers is the second daughter of Andicero, the third son of Fortina, the third sister of the previous Lord Ignatius, the Earl of Eagle. She is also your cousin."

"Harriet was originally married to Matthews Grobek, the younger brother of Count Ferric Grobek. Due to some reasons, the two chose to divorce. She returned to the family with her only child, Hessidon, and changed her last name back."

"Uncle Rocas, thank you very much."

"Master Weilin, you're welcome. It's my honor to serve you."

After expressing his gratitude, Weilin took Xuemiya away and prepared to go see his mother.

At this moment, in the deputy castle, Alyssa looked at her daughter with a stern face, picked up the magic wand beside her, thought for a moment, put it down, thought about it carefully again, and picked it up again.

This happened several times, causing Orseya, who was sitting in front of Alyssa, to not dare to breathe.
