Chapter 2896 Supreme Daughter (Ⅱ)

"Many years later, His Majesty finally became pregnant again, and the cub you gave birth to was Inanna. Unfortunately, you were born with a deformed dominant eye, and she despised you. She ordered me to throw you into the lake to drown..."

When Saoirse said this, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

"I didn't dare to make the same mistake again, and decided to drown the abandoned baby with my own hands. This time, I really didn't soften my heart. However, as fate played tricks, Mitra appeared."

"Mother...no, to be precise, it was my sister who saved me from drowning?" Inanna asked excitedly.

"That's right, Mitra didn't know her own background at that time, and it was even more impossible to know that you were her younger sister. What's more, we beholders don't care about sisterhood at all, and she happened to appear at the right time at the right time." It can only be said that it was God's will to save you." Saoirse said with emotion.

"Inanna, no one knows better than you what happened after you were adopted by Mitra, so I won't repeat myself. Let's get down to business and talk about Mitra's affairs."

"About a month ago, Mitra was involved in the conspiracy of the Odys mind flayers. Later, we used our tricks and gave the mind flayers a hard lesson. You won the gemstone of the main eye, repaired the beholder crown, and then restored the light to your main eye, Inanna, you should know what this means, right?"

"It means that my sister has regained the recognition of the Supreme, and has the opportunity to awaken the 'Mythical Ruler' and become the next Supreme of Udinos." Inanna replied without thinking.

"That's right, since then, His Majesty's attitude towards Mitra has improved a lot, and he has decided to train Mitra to succeed him to rule Udinos, especially after the nightmare she had not long ago, the plan for the transfer of power It’s about to speed up.”

"The Supreme told me in private that she couldn't wait for Mitra to awaken the mythical power on her own, and planned to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony in which she would perform a 'spiritual spell' on the sacrifice, praying for a miracle from the Great Mistress, so that the Supreme Mistress' own The 'mythic rule' was stripped off and grafted onto Mitra."

"After leaving Udinos, the Supreme doesn't expect to be able to come back alive. It's a waste to keep this ability specially used to rule the beholders. It's better to give it to her successor and carry it forward in Mitra's hands."

"This kind of behavior of sacrificing oneself and benefiting others is really not something we beholders can do!" Inanna half-jokingly sighed.

"That's what I said! If it was not necessary, the Supreme would not accept my advice and reluctantly make such a huge sacrifice. However, the situation has changed now, and it is beyond my control."

A sad look appeared on Saoirse's face.

Inanna froze for a moment, then realized why the Prime Minister was worried, and the smile on her face quickly disappeared.

Ishtar still doesn't know that she actually has two daughters alive in the world. In addition to Mitra, who she regards as her heir, there is also Inanna, who has spontaneously awakened the "rule of myth".

Compared with Mitra, the eldest daughter who barely recovered the main eye with the help of the beholder crown and has not yet awakened the power of mythology, Inanna, the youngest daughter, is obviously more talented. So when Ishtar learned of Inanna's existence, would he abandon Mitra? Terra, pass the supremacy of Udinus to the younger daughter instead?

Judging from Ishtar's consistent style, this is very possible.

If this is the case, Inanna has taken away the throne that should belong to her sister and adoptive mother. When family affection and interests conflict, what choice should she make?

If she is a traditional beholder, she doesn't know what family affection is at all, and of course she will prioritize her own interests. However, after living with Mitra for two years, her ideas and personality have been subtly influenced by her adoptive mother, and her way of thinking is closer to that of human beings. Not a beholder.

The nature of the beholder and the human nature cultivated by the day after tomorrow had a fierce confrontation in the heart of this young "eye of the nest mother", which made her fall into long-term contemplation.

At the same time, Joan was also thinking.

She had no interest in the throne of Udinos, much less a contest with Inanna for the succession of Ishtar, and such a thing did not deserve a place in her thoughts.

What she couldn't let go of at the moment was the real Mitra—Ishtar's own daughter and Inanna's own sister.

After setting a trap to assassinate Mitra two years ago, Qiao An used "Dream Catcher" to search her memory while she was still alive. Orphans popping out of cracks in rocks.

Later, Qiao An went deep into the Beholder Nest City to investigate, learned about the birth tradition of the Beholder family, and learned that it is normal for newborns to be abandoned by their mothers and left to fend for themselves. care about.

It wasn't until Saoirse's letter was received today that the mystery of Mitra's life experience was revealed, and all the mysteries of the past were solved.

No wonder Saoirse took special care of Mitra, and when Joan rescued the drowning Inanna from the triangle lake, Saoirse suddenly lost control of her emotions and said a lot of inexplicable words.

No wonder Ishtar's attitude towards Mitra is extremely complicated. He not only hates her various rebellious behaviors, but also vaguely reveals her intention to train her as an heir.

Now all these questions have reasonable answers, but the real Mitra is no longer alive, and the truth will never be known.

This mixed feeling of self-blame and sadness prompted Joan to finally make up his mind—to stop stealing the identity of "Mitra"!

"Lord Saoirse, I'm sorry to be ashamed of your respect. I can't accept the arrangement of you and Your Majesty to assume the responsibility of ruling the beholder clan of Udinos."

Joan broke the silence and spoke frankly about his decision.

"Mitra, I am not surprised that you said this at all. What really makes me curious is your reason for refusing to become the new queen of Udinos."

Saoirse smiled faintly, speculating on the state of mind of the Magic Eye Arcanist face to face with a playful tone.

"Is it because you have too much affection for Inanna, and you can't bear to seize the right to inherit the throne from her; or because you can't overcome your extreme and rebellious nature after all, the future arranged for you by others, no matter how reasonable it seems

, you must oppose it, even if it is only for the sake of being right? Of course, it's more likely that both of the above factors are at play. "

"My lord, please listen to me! No matter how you look at it, you are more qualified than me to be the Supreme!"

Inanna also agreed with Saoirse's analysis of her adoptive mother's mentality, and shouted eagerly.

"This is not humility, let alone hypocritical polite words. Regardless of my qualifications or strength, I am not qualified to rule a hive city, not to mention that I am very satisfied with my current life. Competent role?"
