Chapter 2684 Inanna's Troubles

Saoirse hovered at the door, smiling at the mother and daughter.

"Mitra, can Inanna take me out and take me for a walk, I have a few words I want to say to her alone."

This request was beyond Joan's expectation, and he quickly activated the "Spiritual Theater" for careful consideration.

According to her usual style, Inanna should be consulted at such a time. If Inanna is not willing, she will not force it.

However, doing so would be too unlike a beholder's mother, so Saoirse's suspicion would not be aroused, so she had to go against her original intention and nodded in agreement with her request.

"My lord...I..."

Ever since she could remember, Inanna had never left the company of her mother or her own servants, and she lacked the experience of getting along with outsiders alone. Looking at Saoirse's back floating outside the door, her eyes were full of uneasiness.

"Go, Inanna, it won't do you any harm to take a walk with Lady Saoirse."

Qiao An comforted her daughter softly, and specially took a "myth link" on her body, just in case.

Inanna nodded obediently, and turned to chase after Saoirse.

Joan had already set up a warning barrier covering the entire territory, coupled with the "myth link", even if Saoirse really wanted to plot against Inanna, she would not be able to escape her surveillance, let alone Saoirse had no reason to do so Do.

After about half an hour, Inanna returned alone, listless and sullen.

Joan noticed that her daughter was depressed, so she asked her if she was worried.

Inanna hesitated, but at last she couldn't help telling her mother.

"When she was walking with His Excellency the Prime Minister just now, she said something to me, which made me feel a little uneasy."

Just now, Joan could have eavesdropped on her daughter's conversation with Saoirse through the "myth link", but she felt that doing so would be too disrespectful of her daughter's privacy, so she restrained the urge to eavesdrop and let Inanna decide whether it was necessary to ask her mother Be honest about the conversation.

"Inanna, did Saoirse ask you to keep the conversation private?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister did not make such a request." Inanna thought for a while, and added seriously: "Besides, even if she asked me to keep it a secret, I would only superficially agree, and I would report it to my lord mother later... I know that lying is wrong. OK, but sometimes it's necessary."

Joan didn't know how to evaluate Inanna's concept, but she could only say that her precocity was not only reflected in her physical development, but also in her mind.

Seeing that her mother was silent, Inanna went on to say: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister asked me if I really loved my mother, and of course I answered yes... After she heard this, she just smiled and said that I am too young. This attitude of relying on the old to sell the old makes me feel very annoyed."

Joan nodded and asked her daughter softly, "What else did Saoirse say to you?"

"She said that any mature beholder should clearly realize that family affection is unreliable. If one day in the future, my mother and I have a sharp conflict of interest, the current mother's kindness and filial piety will become a joke. "

Inanna repeated Saoirse's words, her anger hard to hide.

"I completely disagree with the Prime Minister's assertion, and I can't directly object to it, so I told her that this conclusion may apply to most beholder nobles in Udinos, but it may not apply to my mother and me, because we and other Beholders are different."

"Yes, we are different from them, we don't care so much about the traditions of beholders, especially those negative traditions."

It is better to stick to one's own bottom line, even if it is regarded as a different kind by the surrounding groups, than to go against the conscience and join forces with others-this is the concept that Joan has been trying to convey to her daughter.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister was very surprised after hearing my answer. In order to prove that she was right, she continued to challenge me on this issue."

"What did Saoirse tell you again?"

Joann asked her daughter with great interest, trying to figure out what ideas Saoirse was trying to put in her mind.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister told me that she has been sterilized and has no biological daughter, and plans to find someone to inherit her inheritance."

"The heir to the inheritance... Saoirse has taken a fancy to you?" Joan was slightly moved.

Inanna shook her head: "Your Excellency Prime Minister is just making an analogy. Suppose you want to choose an heir from my mother and me, and ask me if I am willing to give up the competition and give this inheritance to my mother."

If this kind of problem is placed in human society, it sounds like a joke. Excluding very few problem families, how much difference can it make if a mother or her only daughter inherits a large inheritance? Shouldn't the inheritance inherited from the mother have to be passed on to the only child in the future?

But in the society of beholders, this account cannot be calculated like this. Between the beholder mother and daughter, the family relationship is so weak that it is almost like a stranger, and the mother's property may not be left to the daughter. The degree of emphasis on personal interests is far greater than the family relationship, so Saoirse put forward such a hypothesis to test Yinan Na's mentality.

"How did you answer?" Joan asked her daughter.

"I'm happy to give up my own interests for the sake of my mother, and that's how I answered Your Excellency the Prime Minister." Inanna said solemnly.

"I'm afraid Saoirse won't believe that this is your sincere words." Joan guessed.

"I don't know what your Excellency the Prime Minister thinks in your heart, but after hearing my answer, she seemed very satisfied on the surface, and even stroked my head, telling me to keep my word and deed, and never break the promise I made today."

Joan was baffled by the words relayed by Inanna.

Judging from Saoirse's attitude when she had a dispute with Inanna at the beginning, she seemed to want to defend the traditional values ​​of the beholder family who disown her relatives and self-centeredness. The praise of filial piety and sacrifice seems more like a clever use of words to test the depth of Inanna's affection for her mother.

What is the purpose of Saoirse doing this?

Joan still can't figure it out yet.

"After that, Your Excellency the Prime Minister asked me again if I noticed that my main eye is different from other beholders."

Inanna sighed, and finally talked about her heart disease.

"Of course I know that my dominant eye is congenitally deformed, my eyesight is poor, and my anti-magic field is also weak. I also felt distressed and inferior because of this, but when I think of my mother's dominant eye as well, I don't feel so uncomfortable in my heart."

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister told me that the main eye of my mother was not congenitally deformed like me. It was originally healthy. In order to advance to a taboo profession called 'Magic Eye Arcanist', she resolutely destroyed the main eye and paid a heavy price to replace it. With the powerful ability to cast spells, it became what it is today, mother, is this true?"

Inanna raised her head and looked at her mother with her deformed dominant eyes, revealing the anxiety and fear in her heart.
