Saoirsa hovered in the doorway, smiling at the mother and daughter.

"Mitra, can you let Inanna take me out and take a walk with me? I have a few words to say to her alone."

This request was beyond Qiao An's expectation, and he quickly activated the "Mind Theater" and considered it carefully.

According to her usual style, Inana should be consulted at this time, and if Inana is unwilling, she will not force it.

However, doing so is too unlike a beholder mother, and it is impossible to guarantee that it will not arouse Saoirsa's suspicion. She has to go against her original intention and nod her head to agree to her request.

"Mother...I..."

Since recording, Inanna has never left the company of her mother or her servant, and lacks the experience of getting along with outsiders alone. Looking at the back of Saoirsa floating outside, her eyes are full of anxiety.

"Go, Inanna, it's no harm to you to walk with Master Saoirse."

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

Inanna nodded obediently, and turned to chase after Saoirsa's figure.

Qiao An has long set up a warning barrier covering the entire territory, and coupled with the "mythological link", even if Saoirsa really wants to plot against Inana, it is impossible to escape her surveillance, not to mention Saoirsa has no reason to do so. do.

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

Qiao An found that her daughter was depressed, so she asked her if she was on her mind.

Inanna hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but confide in her mother.

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

Qiao An could have eavesdropped on the conversation between her daughter and Saoirsa through the "Mythology Link", but she felt that this would be too disrespect of her daughter’s privacy, so she restrained the urge to eavesdrop and let Inanna judge for herself whether it was necessary to tell her mother. Be honest about the conversation.

"Inanna, did Saoirsa ask you to keep the conversation confidential?"

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister did not make such a request." Inana thought for a while, and seriously added: "Moreover, even if she asked me to keep it secret, I would only agree on the surface, and I would report back to your mother...I know if I lie. Good, but sometimes it’s necessary."

Qiao An doesn't know how to evaluate Inanna's concept, but can only say that her precocity is not only reflected in her physical development, but also in her mind.

Seeing her mother did not say anything, Inanna continued: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister asked me if I really love my mother. Of course I gave a positive answer... After she heard this, she just smiled and said that I was too young. I am very annoyed by this attitude of reliance on the old and selling the old."

Qiao An nodded and asked her daughter softly: "What else did Saoirsa say to you?"

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

Inanna's retelling of Saoirsa's words couldn't hide her anger.

"I totally disagree with the Prime Minister’s assertion, and it is not easy to object directly, so I told her that this conclusion may apply to most of the beholder nobles in Udinese, but it may not apply to my mother and me, because we and others The beholders are different."

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

Sticking to your own bottom line, even if you are regarded as an alien by the surrounding group, is better than violating your conscience and getting along with each other-this is the concept Qiao An has been trying to convey to his daughter.

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

"What did Saoirsa say to you again?"

Qiao An asked her daughter with interest, trying to figure out what concepts Saoirsa was trying to instill in her mind.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister told me that she has been sterilized and does not have a biological daughter. She intends to find someone to inherit her inheritance."

"Heir to the inheritance... Saoirsa has a fancy to you?" Qiao An was slightly moved.

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

This kind of problem, if placed in human society, sounds like a joke. Excluding very few problematic families, how much difference can a mother or her only daughter inherit a large inheritance? Doesn’t the inheritance inherited by 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 that. Between the beholder mother and daughter, the family relationship is so weak that it is almost a stranger, and the mother’s property may not be left to the daughter. The importance of personal interests is far more important than family affection, so Saoirsa will put forward such a hypothesis to test Inan. Na's mentality.

"How did you answer?" Qiao An asked his daughter.

"I am very happy to give up my own interests for the sake of my mother, and this is the answer to the Prime Minister." Inana said solemnly.

"Sorsa probably won't believe this is your truth." Qiao An guessed.

"I don't know what the Prime Minister thinks in my heart, but she was very satisfied on the face after listening to my answer, and she stroked my head, admonishing me to keep my words and deeds in the same way and never violate the promise I made today."

These words relayed by Inanna made Qiao Ann feel inexplicable.

Judging from the attitude of Saoirsa at the beginning of the dispute with Inana, she seemed to want to defend the traditional self-centered values ​​of the beholder family. In the end, it turned abruptly one hundred and eighty degrees to Inana’s unconventional attitude. The filial piety and the spirit of sacrifice express appreciation, and it looks more like a test of how deep Inana's affection for her mother is by using ingenious words.

What is the purpose of Saoirsa doing this?

Qiao An couldn't guess it for the time being.

"After this, 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 main eye is congenital deformity, my eyesight is very poor, and the anti-magical field is also very weak, and I have felt distressed and inferior about this, but when I think that my mother's main eye is like this, I don't feel so uncomfortable."

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister told me that my mother’s main eye is not congenital deformity like me. It was originally healthy. In order to advance to a forbidden profession called the'Magic Eye Arcanist', I resolutely destroyed the main eye and paid a heavy price for replacement. Come with powerful spellcasting ability and become what it is now, my mother, is this true?"

Inanna raised her head, the deformed master looked at her mother, revealing inner anxiety and fear.
