"Tesnato, are you insane?!"
"He gave up being a good general just to demand a piece of land for a child he picked up?!"
An angry and trembling old voice rang out, disturbing the child's peaceful sleep in the small crib and slowly waking him up.
He opened his eyes, and after his eyes adjusted to the dim light, he stared curiously at the ceiling and the rustic scenery of the room.
The old man's angry rebukes and the man's indifferent laughter filled his ears.
He lay peacefully in the crib, savoring the lively atmosphere.
The old man seemed tired of yelling and angrily turned his head to look at the baby.
"Hey, the baby you brought back is awake?"
He calmed his anger slightly and stopped arguing with the man opposite him, afraid that the baby would cry because of his voice.
But he still kept a straight face and went to the crib to see the baby.
Why isn't he crying?
"This child looks like a kid, but why does he seem older than me?"
Tisnato smiled and waved his hand, his deep and powerful voice slowly ringing out:
"No, that's not true. You're so old, you're practically in your grave. How can you compare to a child?"
"Even if I'm about to die, I'll still be your father!"
Another burst of noise and laughter erupted in the room, the commotion even reaching the corridor, causing the servants waiting outside to shrink back in fear.
"By the way, what's the child's name?"
“Victor.”
"That's a good name. Did you come up with it? I don't believe you have the brains for that."
Yes, Victor.
From the moment Ragnarok ends and the world begins its new cycle,
He returned to his homeland.
...
Unlike his previous life, he showed the talent of a mage at only a few years old.
In this life, Victor chose to conceal his talents from the very beginning.
His low profile meant that everyone in Brighton only knew Tisnato, the Hellfire General.
But no one knew that this general had a son named Victor.
Viktor never appears in public. Even when someone visits his home, he hides himself inside and rarely sees anyone.
Her relationship with her father, Tisnato, did not involve as much adjustment as it had in her previous life.
Like a child born with autism, there is no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, and one prefers to remain calm or silent.
Days passed one by one, and Viktor calmly counted each day.
When she was five years old, Lia was born.
Just like in his previous life, Tisnato brought a child with his bloodline from outside.
He still prepared two names for the little girl and asked Victor for his opinion.
But Victor simply maintained his indifferent attitude, showing no interest in anything, and let Tisnato do as he pleased.
Because he knew that even if he didn't say anything, Tisnato would only name the girl—
Leah.
And so, Lia was born.
From a very young age, Lia showed a strong dependence on her older brother.
Since Tisnato was away from home all day, the only family member he could contact was Victor.
But she did not receive any love or care from her brother.
Even though Viktor ignored her, she still liked to follow closely behind him, calling him "brother" affectionately.
Especially now that she's five years old.
Whether Victor went to the study or his own bedroom, Leah would always push open the door without hesitation to look for her brother.
As a child, Leah didn't have many other thoughts; she only knew that when her father wasn't home, Victor was her only family.
Until the day Victor "awakened" his magical talent.
On November 6th, it was already winter, and Brighton had just experienced its first snowfall.
It was on this significant day that Victor's magical talent awakened.
At that moment, Lia was building a snowman in the yard when she suddenly heard the adults' surprised voices coming from inside the house.
"Your Excellency, your child possesses extraordinary magical talent!"
Lia knew that these were the words of the mage from the capital.
It is said that not long ago, his father took his brother to the capital. A mage met him on the street and offered to perform a magic test for Victor.
Hearing the gasp from inside the room, Lia couldn't help but turn to look out the window.
Her small body couldn't see anything clearly, but she seemed to sense something in her heart.
It seems that the older brother has been confirmed to have magical talent.
Is my brother going to become a powerful mage?
Very good!
Children are just so innocent and pure.
Even though she learned that Viktor, not her, was the one who would become a mage, Lia was genuinely happy.
Because that's her brother, and her brother has become a mage, why can't she be happy?
But what Lia didn't know was that from the day Victor awakened his magical talent,
The most painful period of her life has begun.
The next day, Lia opened the door as usual to look for Victor.
She saw Victor sitting at his desk, engrossed in reading a thick book of magic.
She originally wanted to ask her brother to play with her as usual.
Although her brother never really played with her, she was content as long as she could see Viktor and exchange a few words with him.
But this time, when she opened her mouth,
But he only received a cold response from Viktor, who didn't even look up.
"go out."
"Don't get in the way."
