Capítulo 13: The Conspiracy of the Princess's Stepmother
Okay, now let's move on to the Stephen family, which is a pivotal family in the United Kingdom of Gryphons. Their family has produced high-end alchemy mages for generations, and Raft Stephen is one of them. Alchemy is undoubtedly an extremely important thing in this generation, and a large number of the country's armaments must come from the hands of alchemists. For example, the equipment of the magic guide mage group, and the various equipment of a few elite legions, and so on.
So whew, with the alchemy advantage of the Stephen family, coupled with several generations of painstaking management, it naturally made their family eventually become the most important producer of high-end alchemy products in the country. The head of the family has been serving as the country's minister of industrial production, responsible for all production and manufacturing matters in the kingdom.
Undoubtedly, this is an extremely eye-catching location, especially the Stephen family's production plant, which makes people drool. You know, in this turbulent era, every country will spare no expense to buy equipment, of which the orders to the Stephen family alone account for almost 5% of the national tax revenue! No need to ask, this is definitely an astronomical amount!
However, despite the red eyes of so many people, due to the existence of the powerful deterrent power of the old mage who was a saint, no one dared to fight the idea of the Stephen family. Even the current emperor of the kingdom was also nominally a student of the old mage, and he naturally did not dare to offend the old mage easily. So in order to encircle the Stephen family, the emperor even did not hesitate to marry his sister to the only grandson of the old mage, that is, the wretched fat man in front of him.
However, this incident made the old mage very dissatisfied. Because in this world, I don't care much about the defense of men and women, and the royal family is even more unruly, so that when the princess got married, she was two months pregnant, and the father of the child is obviously not this fat man. Rather, it was a small white-faced guard in the court. Of course, in order to protect the common face of the royal family and the old French saint, this white-faced person was finally secretly executed, but this still could not change the fact that the blood of the eldest son of the Stephen family was not pure.
Obviously, such a bloodline is absolutely impossible to inherit the unique lightning talent of the Stephen family, in fact, this eldest son is simply an idiot-like guy, no magical talent, no fighting talent, but he looks like oily powder, and he is particularly able to speak, the whole is a little white face! Undoubtedly, this is all inherited from his own father.
Such a guy may be okay in the eyes of other families, but in the Stephen family, he is undoubtedly a waste-like existence. The old mage had never regarded him as his great-grandson, and if he hadn't looked at the royal face, maybe he would have secretly killed this humiliating fellow.
In order to maintain the continuity of the family's bloodline, the old mage strictly ordered his precious grandson to mess with flowers everywhere, and must have an heir who can inherit the talent of the clan. With the support of the old mage, the wretched fat man is naturally like a fish in water, and he lives the life of breeding pigs every day, even the princess and lady cannot interfere.
However, what made the old mage depressed was that the fat man had worked hard in the circle of noble ladies for several years, but he was stunned that he did not plant a single grass, so angry that the old mage almost went crazy. In the end, the fat man still got his wish in an encounter in the barbarian wasteland.
At that time, the fat man went to the wasteland to buy a batch of precious materials, but accidentally took a fancy to the daughter of a tribal chieftain. The fat man, tired of playing with noble women, was suddenly attracted by the characteristic wild character of barbarian women, so he exchanged a hundred steel tomahawks for this woman.
The barbarian women are tall and strong, much stronger than the fat man. The fat man had unprecedented fun with her, and finally succeeded in having a child of her own, and successfully inherited the family's lightning talent.
The old mage was overjoyed at that time, and positioned this child as the heir of the family on the spot, without the slightest hesitation, and no one could interject. He doesn't care who the child's mother is, as long as he can give birth to a family heir. At that time, he still wondered, is it that people in his family can only have children if they do it with strong women? Then should it be stipulated that all descendants must marry a barbarian wife?
However, the old mage was happy, but the princess was not happy, seeing her son change from the status of the first heir of the family to the second heir, her heart was naturally very angry. The jealous woman is terrible, and she secretly poisons the child's mother shortly after.
She even wanted to attack the child at the same time, but unfortunately she was discovered by the old mage who had been paying attention to her. Finally, the old mage, who had long been dissatisfied, was really angry, and not only personally killed all the hundreds of guards around the princess, but even imprisoned the princess for more than half a year, giving her cold water and bread every day. In the end, it was the emperor himself who came forward to intercede before releasing her.
Later, although this woman converged a lot, the resentment in her heart grew all the time. Over time, the princess, with her identity, gradually controlled some of the real power of the family again. Although she did not dare to deal with the poor child openly this time, she secretly made a lot of tricks. Although the old mage and the fat man were aware of it, after all, there was no real evidence, and it was not good to attack her princess again. Thus, this eventually led to such a tragedy.
It turned out that the fat son's youngest son was discriminated against by everyone around him because his mother was not from a good background, and he was really unlikeable, and he was a little dull. In fact, his magical talent is very good, and he is willing to work hard, and he became a junior mage at a young age, which is regarded as the best among his peers. But because of her mother's barbarian bloodline, he was extremely strong, and his appearance did not look like a thin mage at all, but similar to a strong warrior, so those classmates called him an orangutan mage.
At the instigation of his princess stepmother, intentionally or unintentionally, the noble children around the child took pleasure in bullying him. Because doing so is equivalent to helping the princess out of anger, but will get various rewards from the princess. In such an atmosphere, this child's childhood is naturally filled with a dark atmosphere. Although no one dared to beat the first heir of the Stephen family under the intimidation of the old mage and the fat man, verbal insults were always indispensable, and this humiliation accompanied the child almost all his life.
As the child grew up and showed more talent in magic, the princess became more and more unable to sit still, because the child's existence had seriously threatened her son's and even her own position. So, under her conspiracy, a conspiracy against the child unfolded again.
Just three days ago, a group of noble children blocked poor little Stephen in the school at the behest of someone, and then several strong noble guards stopped him, and other small nobles rushed up and beat him to death, and a poor little boy was beaten to death. The so-called acolytes are the playmates that the nobles find for their children, and the commoners who accompany the noble children to study. Ordinary children of great nobles have this kind of attendant.
Since Little Stephen's identity is also a nobleman after all, and he is also the heir of the Stephen family, of course, those nobles dare not make a move on him, because this will cause great trouble, especially the anger of the old mage. But if it was just a commoner next to Little Stephen who was killed, then these noble children would have no worries at all, even if they were investigated in the future, at most they would just lose a little money. It is impossible for the old mage to find trouble with the nobles for the sake of a lowly commoner, right?
