Although she was very dissatisfied with her daughter's insistence on taking the "wrong path" of scientific research, and she still felt that it was a waste of her daughter's talent, Euphilia could indeed understand her daughter's thoughts.
After all, in a sense, this daughter's character and temperament are exactly the same as her own.
Euphilia has been trained as the future patriarch since she was a child. Her ideal in life is to rejuvenate the family. As for whether this ideal in life is generated by herself or brainwashed by her family, it is no longer important. .
From the perspective of today's Dragon Witch, rights and obligations should be integrated. Since she did receive investment support from her family on her growth path, revitalizing her family has become her obligation, regardless of other things. This is just an exchange of equal value, very fair.
Euphilia also likes this kind of fairness, and equal exchange has already become her life principle.
Therefore, if someone dares to trample on this fairness, they must pay a price for it.
The family gave her investment, and she took it as her own responsibility to revive the family. She would not refuse what a qualified family head should do, but this did not mean that she would become a puppet for the family's revival. She only knew that completing the mission mechanically could serve the family. Leave everything behind.
With her qualifications, there were actually many shortcuts to reviving the family back then, the simplest of which was to marry or marry into another family in the Kingdom of Dragons. With her talent, no other family would refuse. In fact, she was the one who asked her to marry her. The family can level the threshold.
But Euphilia ultimately rejected them all. She didn't bother to take such a shortcut. She had her own dignity and pride.
There are always choices in life that are theoretically optimal solutions, but it does not mean that these choices are necessarily correct.
Her refusal actually caused a commotion within the family. Many elders in the clan accused her of being too young and naive, wasting opportunities, too arrogant, and ignorant of promotion. Some of them even took out their family members. Law, she, the head of the family, must be punished.
In this regard, Euphilia did not give in. She didn't even bother to say anything to those guys. She was already the strongest in the family at that time and she just convinced people with "reason" in a "kind" way. Then these old people who opposed her The guy was also quite sensible and "volunteered" to go to the frontier to open up wasteland for his family's territory.
When will it be someone else's turn to dictate her life? She, Euphelia, will revive her family, but how and how she will revive it will be her own decision.
Since the family has entrusted this important task to her, it might as well do it more thoroughly.
She hopes that from then on, there will be only one voice speaking in the entire family, and that is the voice of her, the patriarch. She will lead the family on the right path. As for others, they only need to obey, obey, and obey.
The ideas of those old people are too weak. They are really naive. The so-called revival achieved with the help of others will definitely be affected by others in the future. And if a family cannot even be independent, how can it talk about revival? What about glory?
There is only one choice for the rejuvenation of the family in her heart, and that is to follow the path of the ancestor Dragon King and use her own hands to pioneer, conquer and develop with her own hands.
Even if this road is the most dangerous and dangerous, so what if it is the most difficult? This is the road to glory, the road to glory. Only by reaching the end along this road can the realization of her life ideal of Euphilia be achieved.
Apart from this, all other shortcuts are evil and meaningless.
............
However, she didn’t know when she started to forget about this original ideal.
Now that I think about it, the way she opposed her daughter before was exactly the same as the old guys who opposed her in the past. The only difference is that now she is stronger, and her daughter, who is still weak, is not able to reproduce the domineering power she had back then. Also sent to the border to dig potatoes.
But equally, she didn't doubt that if her daughter really had that ability, she might actually do this.
Thinking of this, Euphilia couldn't help but think of what Dorothy's short stepmother Anne said before.
"Well, it seems that I am a bit far behind as a mother."
The Dragon Witch sighed in her heart, feeling a little sad but also a little proud at the same time.
She raised her head and looked seriously at her daughter who was still trembling with fear in front of her. The more she looked at her, the happier she became.
This is indeed my daughter, the continuation of my bloodline. Even though she has been influenced by that good-for-nothing Adam for many years, her temperament and personality are still exactly the same as mine.
So although she was still a little reluctant in her heart, the tough and domineering Dragon Witch rarely chose to surrender. She looked at the daughter in front of her and spoke.
"I almost see what you mean, Dorothy."
After saying this, Euphilia saw her daughter's bewildered look as expected. The astonishment in her daughter's eyes that almost made it clear, "What do you understand?" made the Dragon Witch feel slightly. She was a little happy. She had not been so happy for many years. This kind of pure happiness was as gratifying as when a prank was successful when she was young.
"Don't worry, I won't directly give you money or give you a piece of territory. This is an insult to you, isn't it? My daughter."
Euphilia spoke again, and this time she saw surprise in her daughter's eyes. This daughter, who had always looked at her mother as if she were a stranger, was a little reserved and distant. For the first time, light flashed in her eyes, and she became much closer and softer. .
This made the Dragon Witch even more sure that her previous thoughts were indeed true. This daughter's temperament and personality really followed her.
"So, just choose whichever college you want. I won't say more."
As soon as these words came out, the sudden bright light in her daughter's eyes made Euphilia a little relieved. She knew that with this, the relationship between mother and daughter had taken a big step forward.
If you just want to improve the relationship between mother and daughter, with a little more effort, the daughter may change her name from the unfamiliar "Mother" to the more familiar "Mom".
but......
My stupid and naive daughter, do you think I really just want to stop being a so-called "good mother"?
The corners of the Dragon Witch's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a malicious smile.
This innocent child still doesn't know the importance of convincing people with "reason" in this world. Does she naively think that everyone she meets in the future will be as patient and accommodating to her as I am? Does she know if she hadn't been my daughter, how many times would she have died just because of her attitude?
In this cruel world, it is impossible to move without strength.
It doesn't matter if she becomes an unqualified mother, she doesn't hesitate to be resented or misunderstood. This is the only thing that the child must learn and remember.
...........
Dorothy looked at the Dragon Witch in front of her with some surprise and surprise. She was surprised and surprised to find that this strange mother could really understand her thoughts.
And she actually agreed with her somewhat unambitious ideal of lying down, and she didn't directly force her to take her back to inherit the family business.
At this moment, Dorothy suddenly felt touched. For the first time in her two lives, she had a mother, and this mother turned out to be her best friend. Two happy things were superimposed into one, giving birth to even more happiness.
Dorothy unconsciously began to imagine a happy life with her family in the future.
Well, that's right, that's how it should be. I don't have that many lofty ideals at all. I just want to have a peaceful and happy home. Family harmony is more important than anything else.
She looked at the smiling Dragon Witch in front of her, and the emotion in her heart almost turned into reality, and she blurted out the most sincere epithet.
"mom....."
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the smile of her mother opposite her turn ugly.
"but......"
The Dragon Witch looked directly at Dorothy. The Peak Witch's aura rose and became very oppressive in an instant.
"Dorothy, I heard your reason and I understand it, so isn't it your turn to listen to my insistence?"
"Do you know that everything can be exchanged with equal value? My daughter, this is my life creed. I believe that everything can be exchanged with equal value."
"And I paid so much to give birth to you in order to leave a qualified heir for myself. Everything I have worked hard to achieve in my life must have an heir. But now that you have grown up, you have your own ideals and Road, but you are unwilling to accept this obligation that should be yours, so what should you use to make up for me? Or how can you exchange your freedom from me? "
Euphilia's pair of golden dragon eyes directly met Dorothy's confused gaze, and then she threw out three choices in an extremely domineering manner.
"I'll give you three choices."
The Dragon Witch held out three fingers.
"First, you should give up your boring dreams and dignity now, go back with me, and be my heir. I will manage all the territories for you. You can build the blueprint of your dreams at will, but the same thing is true for you. You must also fulfill your obligations for the continuation of the family, and you must become an armed witch."
"The second thing is that you can freely control your life. I won't care about you whatever you want to do in the next 50 years. But after 50 years, I will take you back with my own hands, and I will launch a lord campaign on your territory. Zhan, if you can successfully resist me, you will be free, but if you fail and are captured by me, you can only be my heir obediently and follow the path I have arranged for you."
"As for the third one, this is the best thing to do. Get married to Sophia now. I hope you two can give me a granddaughter as soon as possible. I don't care who gives birth to a granddaughter. Anyway, I want a granddaughter. If I have a granddaughter, Then you two will be free, how about it?"
Dorothy: "......"
Sophilia, who ate the mother-daughter melon and got it on herself: "..."
