Harry Potter's Bastard

"Lesotho will take you there tomorrow, don't come too late. "

Solim's face squeezed together in pain when he heard this.

I just graduated, but I was asked to go to work the next day...... It's so impersonal, but Selwyn isn't a place to talk about people.

He thought he could leave at this point, but Levitis didn't let Solim go.

"Now that you've graduated, it's time for you to fulfill your most basic responsibilities as a Selwyn. "

Levittus Hisliso disposed of a large pile of files, and with a wave of his hand, another pile of parchment on the table next to him flew over.

Solim didn't understand what the great-grandfather meant.

"You're an adult, your wife is the right age, and you need to fulfill your responsibilities as a Selwyn. "

Levitsis finally lifted his eyelids and glanced at Solim.

“......"

Having a baby......

As a pure-blood wizard, Solim certainly knew how important families were to the continuation of the bloodline.

The wizarding world can be chaotic, the dark wizards can be lawless and cause trouble everywhere, the family business can also be abandoned, and the sphere of influence can be severely reduced by 23...... However, people have to stay.

Think of Old Barty, such a rigid and tenacious person, who does not hesitate to give up his principles for the sake of the family's continuity.

Consider Lucius, in order to keep Draco, the only heir, he chose to give up his proud Malfoy estate, the various shares that could bring him a lot of benefits, and the large number of human contacts in England, and he was even ready to give up his own life and that of his wife......

These small families are still like this, and Selwyn, a long-standing behemoth, will only be taken more seriously.

Prosperity has always been a tradition that Selwyn values.

As a direct line, Solim's grandfather had three brothers in his generation and seven or eight uncles in his father's generation, and in his generation, he naturally couldn't avoid this responsibility of continuing the family.

Dax is dead, and the second brother is said to be engaged, but he, the third brother, was the first to officially complete the wedding.

"This ......" Solim was ready to struggle, he wasn't against having a child, but he wasn't going to ask for it so early.

He's only 18 years old!

"I'm not against it, it's just that I think I'm too young now. I may not be 20 ...... when the child is born."

"So?" Levites looked at him, "you mean to say you can't take care of it? It's not a problem, as long as the child is born, the rest of the family will take care of it." "

Seeing that his rhetoric didn't work, Solim hurriedly sought a breakthrough from the dignity of the old and the young:

"That's right," Somlim hurriedly organized his language, and Solim tried to reduce the speed of his speech as much as possible, "The second brother is already engaged, and after his child is born, I will prepare to have a child, after all, ......"

"Selwyn doesn't have this kind of cliché rule, we don't pay attention to having children in order. With a word, Levits dismissed Solim's attempt.

"And you don't have to worry about your child not being taken care of, parents are not a necessity for a child's upbringing, after all...... That's how you grew up. "

Solim didn't dwell on the issue any longer. He understands very well that he does not have any bargaining capital on the issue of continuing the family bloodline. If he blindly shows disgust and resistance, the old men of the family may hold him down and fill him with potions, and then use spells to control him and Elena to complete the reproduction.

That's not what Solim wants to see, and he'd prefer to do it himself if he could.

Elena is very happy today. His young husband had graduated, and for pure-blood wizards, especially families like Selwyn, it was inevitable to get involved in family affairs, and she could get out of the cage from time to time. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

If she was able to go out and hang out from time to time, Elena felt that she was not completely intolerant of this incarceration life.

After lunch, Solim pulled Elena aside and told her about the child.

To Solim's surprise, Elena didn't show much disgust.

"You don't seem surprised at all. "

"Why be surprised?" asked Elena, "you are my husband, I am your wife, is it a surprise that I will bear you a child?"

"I thought you'd ......"

"Resistant?," Elena looked at him with a smile, "I'm not that stupid, as a member of the Greif family, I was prepared for this for a long time, even if I didn't know what my future husband would be. "

Solim didn't know how to answer for a moment. If Elena behaves in disgust, or even resists, he can accept it, but this ...... The resignation to his fate was something he had never thought of, after all, there was no emotional foundation between the two of them.

It's not so much that Elena is resigned to her fate, but that she shows the consciousness of a pure-blood witch from a large family.

As a pure-blood wizard, marriage is not up to you, at least for most families. Families will consider their interests and use marriage to strengthen their alliances, or use marriage to improve their relationships with other families. []

This kind of thing seems to be a matter of course for pure-blood families, and children are like spider silk to the family, and their role is to form a larger web.

It's not that there is no kind of pursuit of freedom and yearning for free love 607 love, but such wizards often end up badly. Being removed from the family and being removed from the family tree is only a trivial punishment, and in extreme cases, it will even deliberately stumble, making you repeatedly hit a wall in your career or business.

Whenever this happens, other pure-blood families will be happy to help, even hype it up. After all, none of them want such a situation to occur in their own families, and this kind of mandarin duck that has been pulled out to set up a typical hard-working life is the best teaching material for them to educate their children.

Solim was glad that Elena was sensible, and he didn't have to spend his words on enlightenment.

That being said, but when it was time to rest in the evening, Solim still felt his wife's unease.

Elena was wrapped in a quilt and curled up nervously, like a prisoner waiting to be executed on the execution ground.

Tonight is obviously not a good opportunity, Solim will try to take care of Elena's feelings, but unfortunately, he has long lost the passion of a young man.

Although he had been an Englishman all his life, he assured Selwyn's ancestors that he was definitely not gay, and sometimes Solim even wondered if it was the study of the dark arts that caused him to lose his interest in women.

With some anticipation for tomorrow's new job, and an apology for Elena, Solim fell asleep with his wife in his arms.
