When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 490 Adina 43
"That's all," the female mage nodded slightly, "and there just so happens to be a group of children of the right age in our tribe."

Catherine couldn't hold it in any longer: "Great aunt, are you just going to ignore Lilith? You loved her before."

The female mage smiled and said, "This is a family affair between you and Saint Adina. How can we interfere? Her Highness the Saint did not abandon the Edmonds family out of disgust. We are already very pleased with this result."

"Yes, the current situation is already the best outcome." The white-haired old man also sighed, "But in order to appease the saint's former resentment, I propose to hold a family head election as soon as possible."

Catherine was completely unable to sit still. Although her daughter Lilith was important, she could not accept the fact that her husband would lose his position as the head of the family because of her.

"Uncle, please reconsider this. Dumont has been managing the family diligently for all these years... Isn't it too unfair for him that you suddenly want to replace him?"

The old man sighed, "It's not that we want to replace him, but the family needs to take sides. A seven-star dark saint and the rising Dark Temple, and a two-star light mage and the declining Light Temple behind her, tell me which choice the family should make?"

Catherine bit her lip. "But when Lilith became the Holy Maiden of Light, everyone fully supported her. Why did it change so suddenly now?"

"You are the wife of the head of the family, but you can't even see this," the female mage was a little disappointed. "The family never stands for a certain person, but for a certain camp."

"Everyone knows which one to choose between the rising Dark Temple and the declining Light Temple. It's just a matter of who wins and who loses. Betting on both sides is the biggest taboo. Although it is possible to avoid risks, it will also leave people with the impression of being a fence-sitter."

The old wizard, who was a little impatient, spoke more directly: "Whether Lilith can still hold on to her position as the Holy Maiden of Light is still unknown. You are crying to us now, just hoping that your family will be at odds with the Dark Temple so that you can get back at Lilith's expense."

Catherine was speechless after her uncles hit the nail on the head. Now she also understood that the family leaders would not stand on her and Lilith's side, but what should she do with her Lilith?
Lilith was completely mad. "She messed up my life, and now she's calling it quits with me? How can it be that easy? I just made a small mistake when I was young, but she has basically ruined my future!"

Dennis is now extremely calm: "What you call a small mistake has caused Adina to be bedridden for so many years. What did the pastor say back then? He said that if she didn't take good care of herself, her life span might end at fifty. Is this still a small matter in your opinion?"

Lilith stared at Dennis in astonishment: "I'm your sister, and you're speaking for her?"

Dennis spread his hands and said, "I'm not helping anyone. I'm just speaking the truth. On the way back, I kept thinking, she's your sister and your daughter, why don't you show any concern or love for her?"

"I have no right to criticize you. I didn't do a good job either. I didn't take care of her when she was still in the family." Dennis laughed at himself: "I now agree with what she said. If we don't share the hardships, then we have no right to share the glory."

"We were living a glorious life in the capital, while she was bleeding and fighting outside. Now she has a bright future, and I really don't have the face to stick with her. Lilith, you blame me for not standing by you, but I just want to ask you, have you ever thought about her once in all these years?"

"No? You and your little sisters were having a great time, and you had forgotten about her a long time ago. You didn't even think about how much harm you had caused to others, and you were still living a peaceful life."

"Especially when I think about the shop and manor my mother gave us, I feel even more upset. What's the difference between this and buying a life?"

"My uncles, I'm going back to my room to rest first." Dennis went out. Dennett looked left and right, and finally stood beside Dumont.

The female wizard sighed, "Dennis is not bad, but it's a pity that he is your son."

Dumont's shoulders completely collapsed: "Uncle, I never thought that something like this would happen. It seems that everything changed overnight. I remember that she was just a little girl, lying on the bed..."

The uncles also sighed: "It's come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. Let's hold a family meeting tomorrow. You've done nothing good or bad over the years, and you know the reason."

"I understand everything," Dumont gritted his teeth, "Even if she is not the Saint of the Dark Temple, as long as my daughter belongs to a different camp, I cannot become the head of the family."

"It's good that you understand. If you had been more kind to her back then, how could things have ended up like this?" The old wizard tapped his wand and said, "Sometimes, if you make a wrong move, you can never turn back."

The leaders of the family left one after another, and only Dumont, Catherine, Lilith and Dennett were left in the front hall. Catherine was the most panicked now, and the scene she feared the most really happened.

Once Dumont stepped down from the position of head of the family, how would she survive in the circle of noble ladies in the imperial capital? She would only be excluded and marginalized. Facing this expected situation, she had no way to deal with it.

"Let's go, let's go back." Dumont finally stood up, but he staggered after taking two steps, and Dennett hurriedly supported him.

"Father, are you okay?"

"It's okay," Dumont stood up straight, "It's okay, I'll go back to my room first."

Pushing away Catherine's arm that was trying to help him, Dumont moved towards the bedroom step by step. Who should he blame for all this? Catherine's partiality? Lilith's jealousy?

But he should blame himself the most, because he didn't treat his children equally. If he had taught his children well and was impartial, he would have been able to protect Adina even if she was later found to have undead talents.

Why should she need to plan for herself at such a young age?
Perhaps because she was worried about Dumont, Catherine only ate a few bites of dinner and went back to the bedroom. When she opened the door, she found that Dumont was not in the bedroom. Catherine immediately became anxious.

Finally, she looked around and found Dumont sitting opposite Dennis on the third-floor terrace. Catherine did not go up, but just listened to the conversation between the two quietly under the terrace.

"Father, please drink less. It won't be good if your uncles see you drunk tomorrow." Dennis advised. He knew Dumont was not feeling well. It could be said that no one in the entire family felt well.
