Surviving The Fourth Natural Disaster - CH 12.1

Hill was surprised: “My grandfather has resigned from the court mage?”

“I beat both Edward and his son.” Frank smiled and said, “Then he fire me angrily.”

Hill glanced at Adrian; Adrian explained: “I came back so soon because of this. The teacher found the person who conspired with Perast back then, Helen, the sister of Edward’s wife, Sarna.”

“Why?” Melanie had absolutely nothing to do with these people!

“Because Edward did not have the ability to become a professional at all. So He could only marry the youngest daughter of Marquis Fein.” Adrian said, “The eldest daughter of Marquis Fein is famously beautiful, known as the Pearl of Salar kingdom, and has a lot of fans. She later married the eldest son of Duke Klar.”

Hill looked up at him suddenly: “The eldest son of Klar family? The one who died young?”

Adrian said with a sneer: “Yes, he had to shock the entire kingdom when a Heavenly knight failed to fight back and died. Everyone in the Klar family felt that he died young because he married this pearl and was duelled every three days. He was very important to Helen. Because it was just one more step, she could be a future Duchess, but Klar died. Fortunately, her sister married Prince Edward, and even then, her sister was incapable of being able to protect her in the capital.”

“How about her pride? For Helen, who was married to the Grand Duke, it is too painful to live with a little sister who has never been seen.” He spread his hands, “For such a woman, who in the country can be stronger than Prince Edward? Prince Charles? Of course not.”

Hill said softly, “It’s the King!”

“Yeah!” Adrian said contemptuously, “For our king who only loves beauty, a pearl of Salar kingdom comes to him automatically is a huge temptation. How can Edward not notice? This guy is also very skilled, and he is a prince who has been favoured for decades.”

“It’s a pity that we don’t pay attention to the affairs of the court.” Frank suddenly said. “I didn’t know this Helen was the king’s mistress. All I knew was that she was Edward’s wife’s sister, and I ignored her a few times when she approached me.”

“When she got older, the king began to search for e new women again.” Adrian said, “She and Edward already had a tacit understanding at this time: seduce the king. After all, if Edward can take the throne, her sister will be the queen, her nephew is the future king, and her future can be guaranteed. And for Helen,  she doesn’t want to experience the pain of losing her power again.”

Hill lowered her head and thought, “If Melanie just offended her. It’s not that serious. So, is it because of the old king?”

Adrian retorted: “No one knows when that guy saw Melanie. Although Melanie was already a mage then, but she was just an adult! Helen After knowing that the king was thinking about Melanie, she went to test the teacher. It can be seen that the teacher does not want to participate, and Helen does not want a female mage to stay with the king.”

Frank suddenly said: “A mage who immerses herself in magic usually have no descendant and stay away from these people. No amount of benefits can’t bear the sinister people.”

“They are too vicious! It’s obvious the teacher don’t want to get involved!” Adrian said angrily, “It’s impossible for Melanie to fall in love with an old guy in his 200s!”

Hill brushed his hair and said, “At this time, Perast was widowed and went to the capital to find a new wife, right?”

“Duke Klar hopes that Perast can wait until Manton is older and then consider re-marrying.” Adrian said in a deep voice, “Helen not only kicked her rival out of the court, but also disgusted the Klar family.”

“The Klar family can’t offend Helen, So they put all the resentment on my mother?”

Frank said: “You can bully her with words at most. But a mage has a strong heart, how could Melanie not be able to handle this kind of trick? But she could be madly in love with someone, once seduce no matter how strong her heart was, everything would be useless!”

“It’s all Earl Perast’s fault!” Adrian said. “Seeing this situation, he maliciously seduced Melanie and used her as a pawn to form an alliance with Prince Edward. Who would have known that within two years, Duke Klar’s youngest son would become a heavenly knight. So, Perast deliberately isolate Melanie and told the Klar family. Actually, It was Melanie who seduced him!”
