Chapter Five: Family

  Fenrir never thought it would go this far. After all, he was just a young member of the Sess family and could only be considered a pawn in the hands of the current head of the house.

  However, Midgard's light and rude attitude seriously enraged him. With a loud roar, Fenrir had already pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

  But before he could draw his sword, Middy had already moved. Fenrir's weapon was still three inches in its scabbard when a cold longsword pressed against his throat, the upward pressure forcing him to straighten his body and stand on tiptoes.

  "Medi! You dare...!" The blond youth showed no fear, but instead, like a lion provoked, let out a low growl.

  As soon as the master was attacked, the Seth family's guards in both the light and dark reacted at the same time. At the same time, a chilling current that pierced the skin suddenly swept across the entire training ground.

  The red-haired girl finally moved, and with one move, she subdued everyone.

  That surging, almost palpable magical power, the biting cold wind that seemed to be able to shred people at any moment, had finally returned to its slow flow after an atmosphere that was on the verge of exploding in an instant.

  Perhaps killing Fenrir now is the best option! Looking at the opponent in front of him who had no power to resist, he thought of the suffering of the past twenty years, the family being destroyed, wandering and losing his home, the various humiliations, the desperate misfortunes, Mide's hands began to tremble slightly.

  "This trash isn't worth dirtying your sword, if it was worth killing, I would have done it myself." That familiar yet nostalgic voice rang out.

  Fina's words were like a warning bell, and Middy regained his composure.

  Yes, if they really made a move, the Sess family would immediately launch a noble war, and Fiona's Hamilton family would also take this opportunity to make trouble. The entire Bellmarl Principality would fall into civil war, ultimately benefiting only one side - the tiger-eyed Drows Empire.

  This sword is going down, people are happy, but it's very likely to make a huge change in history, making oneself miss many opportunities, and the advantage of rebirth disappears.

  Midi understood all of this, took a deep breath, and slowly sheathed the long sword in his hand.

  "You're right, Fiona. This kind of person isn't worth getting angry over." Middy replied, putting down his weapon.

  Fenrir's lips moved, but he no longer dared to utter harsh words. In that instant, he sensed the genuine killing intent emanating from Midy, and his entire being felt as if it had fallen into an icy pit.

  Fenrir left with an icy gaze, and Feena glanced at the black-haired youth beside her.

  "Is everything all right?" The Storm Queen asked a question that was rare for her, with an obviously visible concern, and extremely uncharacteristic of herself.

  "This long-awaited greeting made Meddy's whole body shake, and then, he showed a confident smile: 'Fina, we must get the first trial.'"

  "Of course, who did you think I was?" The red-haired girl replied confidently, without any hesitation.

  The next morning, Middy boarded a carriage bound for the Earl of Ashlex's estate.

  Originally, with only a week left, he should have been training hard with the new members, but after the rift with the Seth family, Middy's father immediately sent someone to summon him back. Feena didn't say much about it, just nodding her head and saying that parents are important.

  Perhaps this is how the Storm Queen expresses her identity.

  Midi immediately took the car back to his family's territory. In his impression, this was also a rare tough attitude of his father who had always spoiled him, it seemed that his behavior had really made him anxious.

  At the thought of his father's anxious appearance, Midy couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. However, he didn't regret his actions from yesterday at all.

  "Master Mei, forgive an old man for speaking out of turn, but the master is truly angry this time. Please go back and apologize properly, don't talk back."

  An old and gentle voice pulled Midy back from his thoughts into reality.

  At this moment, sitting opposite in the carriage of Medici, with utmost respect, was the family's butler, Lottrand. This man over sixty years old wore a crisp black tailcoat and had neatly groomed snow-white mustache that looked as if he just walked out from an oil painting of last century. In fact, he has served the Earl's family for three generations.

  From Medici's birth to the present, this old man has been silently guarding behind him. More often than not, he is the one who cleans up after the young master causes all sorts of trouble, bears the wrath of the people, and strives to restore the honor of the Asclepius family.

  Two years later, when the Delos Empire invaded, he disregarded his advanced age and took up his sword to charge into battle, ultimately dying on the battlefield. He was indeed a loyal old general who gave his all.

  However, at that time, Mei Di only regarded him as a wicked old man, always calling him without any respect, and never had any gratitude, completely taking the other's loyalty for granted.

  "I've got a number in mind, but thanks anyway, Lottrand." Middy smiled and patted the old steward's shoulder. "I know it's unsettling to go up against the powerful Seth family, but I'm not acting on impulse, so don't worry. I'll talk things over with Father carefully."

  Luotang was stunned for a moment, he had long been prepared to be scolded, but unexpectedly, he got such a very sincere and unpretentious answer.

  Has the young master really grown up?

  In an instant, a sense of relief suddenly arose in Lao Guan's heart.

  It takes a whole day to return from the capital of Herttonmar to the duchy, but after offending one of the most powerful forces in the country, LotRan, who is cautious by nature, was afraid that something would happen halfway, not only gathered more than 30 well-trained great swordsmen as guards, but also did not stop on the way, galloping all the way.

  At dusk, Middy had already seen the gate of the Ashlex family castle.

  Earl Ingemann Asleks, Middy's father and master of this land, had been waiting in the study for a long time.

  The middle-aged man, who was dressed elegantly but had a worried look on his face and was handsome in appearance, first asked the old steward about the situation on the road, and after confirming that nothing unexpected had happened, he let out a sigh of relief and turned around to gaze at the young man with an expression of disappointment and discontent.

  "Midi, I recall telling you this a long time ago," Earl Ingman said in a lowered voice. "Try not to get too close to the Seth family, but also don't offend them, even if it means tolerating some injustice! In any case, as the future heir of the Asrelex family, you shouldn't lack wisdom and should think carefully before doing anything!"

  "Yes, I know." Meddy nodded.

  "No, you have no idea. To actually draw a sword in public and hold it to someone's throat with the Hamiltons standing right there... It's already..." The Earl sighed and said nothing more.

  But Medhi knew that the Earl had already begun to consider how to make amends for his own mistakes. In his distant memories, his father was a man of such character, outwardly he was the powerful Earl of Ashterex, cold and unfeeling, no one could deceive him.

  However, in front of himself, he was an overly doting father. Perhaps it was because of the deceased mother that the Earl always wanted to make up for it as much as possible. No matter what Mide asked for, he would do his best to satisfy him.

  To be honest, this is absolutely not a good way of education. The reason why Mi Di became a spoiled child to a large extent is because of this.

  At this moment, looking at his father's frowning and worried appearance, a warm feeling surged up in his heart.

  It's just that it's not time to relive those family feelings yet.

  It's still far from that time.

  Midi reminded himself, looked up at his father and said: "Father, you probably don't know yet, the reason I chose to break with the Seth family is because I learned something very important in college."

  "What?" Earl Ingemann's eyebrows moved slightly.

  "Follow me," said Meddy, ignoring the Earl's suspicious and distrustful eyes, and walking directly into the depths of the castle.
