Reincarnation Monarch

Lesson 588: The Heir

"Trade... what's your ex? Without it, we wouldn't be able to start a trade, would we?

Shester asked Asio happily with a smile.

Then Azio began to talk about the properties of Melba as if it were water on a stand.

"Yes. His mother was the daughter of a landlord in a certain province. As soon as he was born, he was abandoned with his mother by the former Archbishop of Fran, who grew up returning to his mother's homeland. Well, I heard about it. It seemed like it was a lot of bullying and hard work from around, but it seemed like it grew up quickly and splendidly feeding on those things as well. Because he seemed to be the owner of a very good brain, and he seemed to have left the name of a prodigy wanting more than he did at an early age. So he followed the name of the prodigy, and the bullying gradually disappeared. So, in doing so, he said, his mother's father, or someone who would be his grandfather to Melba, died. As I mentioned earlier, the person was a landlord. And they said it was pretty massive."

"You mean Melba inherited that..."

"Exactly."

"I see. It does seem that the former Archbishop of Fran has nothing to do with it. But you said earlier that Melba was wealthy all because of his own talent... but if he had inherited a massive piece of land, he couldn't possibly be his own talent? Even though he was recognized by his heirs because of his excellence, he was originally a direct blood muscle, wasn't he?

"Yeah, I did inherit a massive plot of land, and one of the reasons was because I was a direct bloodline, but I can still assure you that it was because of his excellence that he was able to be heir"

"Well... why not?

"Because his mother had two brothers."

Then Shester frowned and narrowed his eyes.

"... I mean, there was an uncle for Melba. Or both of them..."

"Yes, indeed, Melba is a direct blood muscle. But if you're going to say that, my two uncles are more direct. Anyway, from the landowner who died, he was a real son."

"Hmmm... I mean, aside from my two sons, my grandson... said it was also inherited by my fatherless son Melba... is that right?

"That's right. Apparently, the two sons were pretty mediocre. So the deceased landowner let Melba, his brilliant grandson, inherit the name of the prodigy."

"Well, did you convince those two mediocre sons?

"Looks like I did. Because although Melba inherited all the land, she gave all the other gold to her two uncles. So it seems that the two uncles were happy to acknowledge Melba's inheritance. Because the land, though massive, was a fairly lean, thin, two-tiered land."

When Azio said so, he shrugged his shoulders as he exhaled lightly.
