Chapter 735: Section 505: Wisdom is the Most Dangerous Weapon in Human Hands (Part Three)_2
"I understand, and I understand even better the mission our family has borne. In the five millennia before destruction approaches, our family has striven tirelessly, hoping to change the world’s fate, tainted by Chaos and evil, but our family has failed, just as countless others have in this era... In the end, our family has become what it is today, devoid of honor, devoid of dignity. A family that once held the heart of a savior has totally failed."
Saying this, the old man looked at Lulu, his face breaking into a fervent smile, "But this child Malin, he has given me, an old dreamer, one last chance at redemption. Everything he’s done in the south is steering the world in the direction we always wished to push it. For this reason, I agreed to my foolish sons’ requests, to reach this moment where you, child, can change destiny. There used to be a line on our family crest, ’All for one, one for all’... When your child inherits this family, you can inscribe it there again."
"Why... Grandfather, haven’t you always wanted to continue the family legacy? Would my uncles agree to this?"
"There isn’t much time left for me or for them. I believe they will make choices that benefit our family, but if they fail to do so, then it is necessary that we have the resolve to change everything."
The conversation between grandfather and granddaughter ended there, and the old man looked at Lulu, "What do you think of Malin?"
"He’s outstanding, outstanding to the point of my utmost respect. You wouldn’t understand; he’s the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. He kills without compunction, he is cold and ruthless, yet he applies these most grievous of means on the most righteous of paths," Lulu replied.
Her answer made the old man laugh heartily, "That’s right, in this world of despair, love and peace alone cannot save everyone. He’s a good boy, perfect for you, my child. Go on, marry him, give birth to strong and healthy children, and then... turn this detested house of yours into what you envision it to be."
Lulu looked at the old man before her, feeling once again the love and despair the family had brought her.
"I can’t, my grandfather, I can’t change this family. This is what you’ve spent your life protecting, and I... I will marry Mr. Malin, but this family will never be mine." With these words, as if making a vow, Lulu picked up her large hat and put it on, then she stood up, "Grandfather, I must leave now, may you live a long life."
