Book 11: Chapter 33


    I am not aggravating you, my grandson, but you are too immature.


    He looked at me and knocked on the ground. He spoke as though what I said made him grieve deeply. You are a descendant of Gdriel Tribe. You are a member of Gdriel Tribe. I love you, and you know that. However, what youre doing is incorrect. Perhaps Vyvyan has excessively pampered you, leaving you ignorant of our Gdriel Tribes principles.


    I looked back at him and shouted, So the Gdriel Tribes principle is to indiscriminately kill based on lineages and mana?! If thats the case, then Im d mom never told me. I sure dont want to be a descendant that such a bloody tribe can be proud of, because I dont want to kill senselessly, and that applies even more to enemies who have surrendered. Im also most reluctant to kill my own rtives!! The Queen of the North is also our Tribesmen. She shouldnt be med even if her parents didmit wrongs!! She shoulde back. Shes also a Gdriel. She also has the right to enjoy everything we do!! She is our Tribesmen!


    Zalel sternly looked at me and spoke in a loud voice. She is the trash of our Tribe! How can defects enjoy the same treatment as us? The Gdriel Tribe is the umtion of our efforts. What right do those defects have to enjoy the fruits of ourbour? Theyre just a waste of our aplishments!


    This is the same as you conquering the North. You must want to be able to help your people in yournd, right?! Surely you dont want your aplishments to be used to feed a bunch of useless people, right?! Those with inferior lineages and mana will only cause our Tribes lineage to get worse and worse, causing our descendants to be poorer and weaker. We are the imperial family. We must remain the strongest elves. Our benevolence will be our own future graves.


    Zl continued with distress. We are the imperial family. Child, we are the imperial family. The elven rule is established based on the pressure of ultimate mana. Nobody questions us precisely because of Vyvyans demi-god nature. Thats the reason all of her policies are considered Gods orders and carried out smoothly. Mana is everything in elven society, my child. Do not try to apply humanitys ways here with the elves. Elves are not humans. Equality for elves can only be established if everybody has the same mana profile.


    I opened my mouth, wanting to argue, but I found myself speechless. What Zalel said was extremely cruel, but there were no problems with what he said. I turned my head around to look at mom. Mom nodded to indicate that what he said was right. Elves and humans were different. The reason elves had such a peaceful society was due to the levels of mana. Those levels kept the people in check, deterring anybody from having ideas about stepping out of line. Everybody followed Vyvyans orders, because she was a demi-god.


    The descendants of the Gdriel Tribe were guaranteed to have a superior lineage, as the Gdriel Tribe had the purest mana. The Gdriel Tribe relied on high-level mana to rule all elves, and they relied on the high-level mana to consolidate their power as the ruler. Subsequently, the superior mana allowed all of their policies to be sessfully carried out.


    All those aforementioned points were a result of the Gdriel Tribes superior lineage. They needed to rely on their lineage to consolidate their rule. Hence, they had to ensure that they didnt have any inferior lineages; or else, their rule would be toppled once a descendant with inferior mana appeared. That was everything that the Gdriel Tribe faced.


    I was speechless. I wanted to retort, but that was the foundation of the Gdriel Tribes rule.


    <em>Theres no way I can let the Queen into the Imperial Pce, then. The Gdriel Tribe will refuse to acknowledge her. If they do and she has a child with an inferior lineage in the future, does that mean that the child wont get topete for the throne?</em>


    <em>Not even Mommy Vyvyan approves of letting her return to the pce. It appears I cant let her re-enter the Gdriel Tribe. I think it should be all right for her to live in the South, though. Thatll be on her to decide. Im not really bothered with what happens to her, to be frank. What I want to know most is Lucias situation.</em>


    Tone serious, I asked, In that case, I want to know whats going to happen to Lucia in the future and the other child of hers. This is of utmost importance. Lucia doesnt possess a very high mana purity level, and her child is also an ordinary elf. What is the Gdriel Tribe going to do about that?


    Lucia will be exiled. She will disappear from the Gdriel Tribe along with her child. Marry Vyvyan as your wife. Raise your child with her.


    Zl seemed to think that I understood things, or perhaps he thought he had convinced me. Perhaps he thought I had epted everything he said and was going to be an obedient follower of the Gdriel Tribe.


    I snickered. I coldly said, Dream on, you arrogant old man. Did you really think Id listen to everything you say? Ill back down on the Queens business, but I will never let you push me around when ites to Lucia. Lucia is my wife. She has given up so much for the Gdriel Tribes descendant, yet youre just going to exile her?!


    The Gdriel Tribe cannot have trash with inferior lineages! Do you still not understand that?!


    I took in a deep breath. Youre right! I dont get it! I just told you two days ago that I would never abandon Lucia. Ive now confirmed that you have no kind will toward Lucia, so theres no way Im going to let her stay with you. Shes my Lucia and my wife. I want her to stay by my side forever.


    She cannot be a part of the Gdriel Tribe!


    We arent part of the Gdriel Tribe, then, I thundered. Gaze cold, I threatened, Who else does the Gdriel Tribe have? You dont have any other descendants besides me, do you? If you even think about harming my Lucia, Ill sever all ties to the Gdriel Tribe. I still have my Rosvenor surname. I still have mynd in the North. If you want to attack the North,e try me. I wont hesitate to wage war on you for my child and wifes sake.


    You!!


    You heard me. Thats my bottom line, I stated. I turned to walk to the door. Coldly, I added, The one person of the Gdriel Tribe I love most is my mom, Vyvyan. Shes the one who gives me the feeling of belonging most. No matter how wilful I may be, Mommy Vyvyan always looks after me and protects me. That is the Vyvyan Gdriel that I love and cherish most, not you, you heartless old geezer! You best be d that I still care about my mom, or else, Ill leave right now!
