Chapter 529 Lesson for Nina

Chapter 529 Lesson for Nina?

"So family is the most important thing... What about honor and loyalty? The academy always talked a lot about the honor of serving the kingdom and fighting for His Majesty." Nina asked her brother.

"That is nonsense. Only fools believe it, Nina. Loyalty to your family and honor are important, but giving them to a stranger who just wants to use you is a big mistake." Vicente advised as he looked into his sister's eyes.

He asked. "What do you think would happen to Nova if she was crippled fighting for the king? Do you think the king would support her? Or would her family care for her? This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Who do you think suffers from a disturbed war hero? The state or their family, who have to deal with their traumas?

The king doesn't care about Nova or any of his soldiers, Nina. As long as they're alive and serving him, fine. But when something happens, they are discarded and replaced. Only the families of people like Nova will care about her and try to help her somehow.

So I ask you, where does Nova owe her loyalty? To the king? Or to her relatives, to you, to me?"

Nina was silent for a moment, never having heard such direct truths in her life. Children didn't usually have such conversations.

Of course, when she heard that the king didn't care about his soldiers or subjects, she felt something strange inside. But since the person she trusted the most was the one who told her these things, she believed Vicente.

"She owes her loyalty to us and to her parents," Nina answered Vicente's question.

Vicente liked what he heard. "Exactly, because we're the ones who will take care of her if anything happens. And that's what you should expect from people, Nina. Those for whom you're willing to do anything must be committed to you, not to other people or powers.

As for those you don't give your best to, well, they could betray you at any moment because they'll be thinking about what's best for them and not for you.

Keep these things in mind. One day, you'll see it all in practice."

"I understand, big brother. I'll do my best to protect the family, even if it means breaking rules." She said, clenching her small fists.

...

After Nina discovered the truth about her brother, a few days passed without much happening for the Fuller family.

With the passage of time, Nina's classes had finally begun at the Royal Academy of Saltstar City, where a grand ceremony had begun a new cycle for the institution.

After Nina's first few days at the academy, Vicente began to prepare for her departure from the city, thinking about traveling to the Chutha Dynasty, where the sect of one of the enemies responsible for Kate's death was located.

He had information about the Bone Mountains, he was at the peak of the 3rd stage, he had prepared his family well for his absence, and Nina was now practically adjusted to her new routine.

So, there wasn't much left for him to do in Saltstar City or Scott Province, and he was already planning his departure for the next few days!

Right now, he was at home with Nova, saying goodbye to the woman he would be away from for at least a few months.

...

"Nova, take care of Nina for me if necessary. But don't neglect your cultivation. I expect you to become a High-level Mage by the time I return." He said after finishing his daily 'practice' with the blue-haired beauty in his arms.

"I'll try my best." She smiled at him. "But with the resources you've given me, I find it hard not to progress by then. You'll probably be gone six months."

The trip to Chutha Dynasty could take more than 2 months one way, so the minimum time he would be away from Saltstar City would be 4 months. But he would need more time in this state to settle his affairs.

Vicente said to her. "Time will pass quickly. You'll have a lot to do. Anyway, if you can, help my people. I doubt any problems related to the Mazzanti family will affect my people, but anything is possible.

All it takes is for one of my men to bump into the son of a local noble, and endless problem can arise."

"I know. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
