Episode 51 – Those with ability don’t need luck (1/2)

(Meanwhile, Rroda mainhouse)

A vein pulsed on Venric’s forehead, his face pale and contorted into a scary gri hands, he held a stack of papers The tre through the otherwise deathly quiet room

His tea was slowly cooling off to the side, seeer wished to drink it, in fact, his mouth was uncomfortably dry It was si was soon the tea or spewing it all over his papers

The slowly accuer be suppressed, it reached the upper li in one swell swoop

Venric grabbed the first thing that came under his hand and threw it to the wall in a te the luxurious teacup

The force of his throas so large that it created a loud boom when the teacup met the wall The chandelier and the shelves shook from the impact

Yet, there was no sound of shattered porcelain There was only a hole in the wall, housing the teacup which was stuck inside, unable to fall to the ground If one looked at it closely, the teacup didn’t have a single nick or crack The ge as ever Even the dust and debris of the broken wall seelossy teacup

“Overat the papers

Those papers, those blasted papers, were the report on today’s activities of Kiel Rroda and Elaru Wayvin

The report clearly stated that both had arrived and participated in the exaed their results

Unexpectedly, both had achieved perfect scores

Venric was only ht appear that he ignored Kiel’s existence, but actually, he kept close tabs on the boy Any potential liability had to be closely monitored

Consequently, he are that the boy had been working hard and showed considerable talent and ability when it caic It was quite a pity that he was a e The fates were even crueler than Venric himself

Therefore, while he did feel surprised that the boy’s ability reached full points, he wasn’t overly shocked What shocked him was that the redhead showed an ability not any lesser than the boy In fact, the report spoke of her ability quite highly

Allegedly, it was so high that the instru to measure it

This had never happened before in the history of Ashar University exams

The more he learned of Elaru Wayvin, the more he understood just how little he knew

The more he learned, the more he realized just how much he had underestimated her

The more he learned…the warier he became

However, what caused him to reach his current rare state of distress hat followed after

Kiel Rroda and Elaru Wayvin went shopping for engages

Who gave you the per about e! When did you intend to inform me, huh?!

This was not only a huge face slap to hinity of the whole Rroda farown up to disrespect theard for their future development

This was foreshadowing a scandal

And what about the e? Who will inherit whose name?

Not just anyone could be allowed to wear the Rroda name Only the worthy could wear it Under no circumstance would random individuals be allowed to become a Rroda

The Rroda name was noble Anyone ore it was, by extension, a noble

You think nobility can be decided upon so easily? So easily that anyone can just marry and become a noble?!

What if the tanted the bastard child to inherit the name Wayvin?

That possibility, although minor, also crossed his mind

And that possibility was even worse

What would that mean? That would clearly mean that a noble discarded his own noble name, his own noble status, of his own free will

Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of every noble? Everyone would hold the Rroda fah at them, jeer at them and mock them They, who have been discarded by a wyre to shame them

Wouldn’t that be clearly declaring: I am not one of you You are beneath me Who wants to be a Rroda? Who wants that empty title? I’d rather wear a common name than be associated with you

Saying that Venric Rroda was furious would be putting it lightly

If Elaru Wayvin turned out to be a powerful individual, soh value to them Someone who they would want to recruit Venric Rroda would even consider allowing the e For if Elaru Wayvin wouldn’t sha them benefits, why oppose it? It would even deal with the proble

Ever since the bastard child was allowed to wear the Rroda name, Venric had been worried about the possibility of an offspring The bastard child was a non-e If he was allowed to proliferate, wouldn’t there be a possibility ofwithin the family?

If he married an elibu, that problem would be dealt with

Ifextra benefits, Venric would welcoirl with open arms

However, they showed no respect towards him as the family head, showed conte their nah the mud

Even if it would be beneficial, out of principle, Venric Rroda vowed that he would never allow that e
