Soul of reincarnation

Chapter 27 HP

"Ovelia is the first heir to the property of the Elton family. Although in your grandfather's mind, after her death, these properties will naturally belong to you. But once she divorces me, these properties will be hers. Take it away. She will remarry with the person she loves, and she will have a child she really likes. Those properties will not belong to you in the future." Lance continued to explain, "So I asked her to take the properties of the Elton family It's all to you, that's what you deserve. That's why I agreed to marry her. Our married life is not happy, and you, as the heir of the Kent family, were born without mother's love. These are the prices paid, Aye The property of the Leighton family is originally the agreed compensation. Unfortunately, your grandfather will probably not be happy that I deprived Ovillea of ​​most of the property. The second son, what is the difference between your grandson and another grandson? So I asked Olivia to take away the portraits of the Elton family so that they would not interfere with your life. "

Ethan nodded in agreement.Although the grandfather likes him, but this kind of love is the love of the house and the black. Because he loves his daughter, he dotes on his grandson.After all, the grandson is also the guarantee of the daughter's status in the Kent family.Grandpa often regretted that he and Ovelia were not close.

When he has another grandson that his daughter likes more, he may really like the grandson who has a good relationship with Ovelia more.The Elton family has become extinct, so who should the property go to?

Ethan understood Lance's approach. In Lance's mind, he sacrificed his marriage in order to win the property of the Elton family for his heir.This is a deal, he will be a good husband, and his heir will get all the property of the Elton family.With only one marriage, the property of the Kent family increased dramatically immediately.It was worth it in his opinion.

It's a pity that Lance and Olivia's values ​​are completely different, and Lance has never considered divorce at all.But after losing her father's restraint, Olivia immediately planned to end her loveless marriage.This made Lance's previous efforts almost all in vain, and almost made the Kent family a laughing stock.

That is, Lance took advantage of Ovelia's eagerness to divorce and threatened her to transfer all her property to her son.In fact, if Ovelia carefully understood the legal provisions, she would know that the divorce laws in the wizarding world are very similar to those in the Muggle world.According to the legal provisions, it is very difficult for the Kent family to obtain the inheritance inherited by Ovelia. Not only that, but in the case that Ovelia gave birth to an heir for the Kent family, the Kent family may have to pay her a large amount of alimony .

That is to say, Ovelia did not enter the workplace after graduating from school. She has been a housewife for several years and still has the mentality of a noble lady who does not eat the fireworks of the world. She believes Lance's words and thinks that the Ministry of Magic will favor Lance. , will not judge them for divorce.

That is to say, Lance guessed that Ovelia did not dare to mention the divorce with the family portrait. If Ovelia's father's portrait knew about this matter, even if the shrewd old man could not stop them from divorcing, he would not let him take it. Go to Ovelia's property.

From Lance's point of view, fortunately, the naive Ovelia was bluffed and went through the formalities of transferring the property to her son first. This kind of transfer has nothing to do with divorce or property division.

Then they went to go through the divorce procedures, and the clerk asked them how to arrange the children and alimony. As a result, Ovelia didn't ask for anything except to get a divorce as soon as possible.That's when the dust settled.

Lance was very satisfied with this. He not only had an heir, but also the Kent family got all the property of the Elton family, and got rid of the unhappy married life.In the future, he only needs to continue to fight for the prosperity of the Kent family, and there will be no more troubles and worries.

Ethan was a little worried, "Will mom's life in the future be difficult?"

Lance shook his head, "Ovelia is the black sheep among noble ladies. She is not obsessed with jewelry and does not value money. Even after becoming Mrs. Kent, she has spent very little on jewelry and clothing. I will buy it for her. She didn't miss those precious jewelry, she kept them at home and didn't take them away. She has a lot of money in her private treasury, except for the dowry given by your grandfather. I also paid her an annuity every year for these years of marriage. She That lover is also a pure-blood, the family's financial situation is not bad, and the income of being a professor at the magic school is quite high, with her usual expenses and living standards, if they get married, then the money is more than enough to live on."

Ethan felt relieved, Ovelia treated him like nothing, and he didn't care about Ovelia as long as Ovelia didn't live in poverty.

Olivia pursues the freedom she wants, and Ethan is of course more emotionally inclined to his father who regards him as very important.

From the perspective of outsiders, it would not be felt that Lance cheated Ovelia.After all, before the divorce, the wife transferred most of the property to her son. In any case, she felt guilty because she insisted on divorce and the child lost his mother, so she used the property to compensate the child.

When the woman filed for divorce, the Kent family retained the custody of the heir, and the heir received a large amount of property from the mother.The Kent family is not a loser.At least it won't be a joke.

When outsiders looked at Ovelia, they felt that her decision to divorce was too impulsive, and that she was naive and self-willed.Fortunately, she returned a large amount of property to the son who was left behind. In the eyes of outsiders, she is still a good mother.Therefore, her evaluation will not be too bad.

Only in the eyes of those shrewd aristocratic parents did they feel that Ovelia had suffered a big loss, while the Kent family had made a fortune.In the eyes of these people, Lanskent is still so shrewd and not easy to mess with.The evaluation of the Kent family has not been lowered because of the divorce.And this is one of Lance's goals.

On the day before Halloween in 1981, James Potter and Lily Potter were killed, Harry Potter became the Boy Who Lived, and the Dark Lord disappeared.This is his first failure.

All the wizards are setting off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of peace, and the Ministry of Magic where Lance is is also busy, busy arresting and trying Death Eaters.

And Ethan is worried, is Lance a Death Eater?

When Lance finished his work for the time being and returned home with bloodshot eyes, he took Ethan into the family secret room for the first time.

While packing the contents of the secret room into a large iron box expanded by space magic, he asked Ethan, "Have you found the secret room at Elton's ancestral house?"

Ethan looked at the same gold, silver and jewelry as in his grandfather's secret room, and nodded, "Yes."

"These are invisible things, have you seen them in the secret room over there?"

"Yes."

"I think so. But you never showed anything for others to see. I think you can understand that these things cannot be known by outsiders?"

"Yes."

"Very good. I'll hide all these things in your secret room later. If one day, unfortunately, outsiders discover these things, then they can all be pushed to the Elton family. Anyway, the Elton family There's no heir left, and your mother was definitely not a Death Eater. No one else can find out."

Lance was not surprised that the young Ethan could understand what he meant. After divorcing Ovelia, Lance found that Ethan had never said a word to the Elton family's secret room, and that he might have hidden secrets about the Elton family. He didn't show a little bit of the stolen goods, and he seemed to have doubts about his father but didn't ask anything.

Since then, Lance has discovered that his son is very different. He has an IQ beyond his age and the ability to understand things, and he has his own views on judging the situation.He may feel that only silence can protect himself and his family, so he can keep silent.

Ethan nodded in agreement, and finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most over the past year, "Then are you a Death Eater?"

Lance wiped his face with his hands, and said in a slightly tired low voice, "Yes, I'm a Death Eater."

Ethan didn't know what to ask for a moment.Ask him why he joined the Death Eaters?Ask him what cruel things he has done since he became a Death Eater?Ask him what mentality he has after becoming a Death Eater? Ask him if he has ever killed anyone?Have you ever used the Three Unforgivable Curses?

"Your grandfather and grandmother passed away very early. After I graduated from Hogwarts, because of my noble status, I easily found a job in the Ministry of Magic. Then I worked hard to climb up. Then your grandfather took a fancy to me and wanted me to Marry Ovelia. It was your grandfather who introduced me to that lord. Why did I join the Death Eaters? Naturally, it is because he is so powerful, and he represents success. Therefore, how can we aristocratic profit-seekers stand in the The opposite of a successful man. Who would have thought he would fail?"

Ethan was speechless for a moment, paused for a while, and then asked, "Then what should we do now? Will the captured Death Eaters confess your identity?"

Lance shook his head, "I'm different from those Death Eater thugs. I have a noble status and I've been promoted very quickly in the Ministry of Magic. Your Excellency needs me to maintain my neutral status in the war in the Ministry of Magic to obtain more So much information. So I'm a secret spy that His Excellency placed in the Ministry of Magic. The only people who know my identity are your grandfather and that Highness. I have never met other Death Eaters other than your grandfather. I have never participated in group activities such as attacking Muggles. No one knows me, and I don’t know any information about Death Eaters. It is the property here, and it is also the reward of your grandfather who asked your grandfather to pass it to me. Therefore, No one can prove that I have engaged in any illegal activities."

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Lance had never killed anyone, and it also meant that no one could know Lance's identity.

Lance packed the box, led Ethan through the fireplace, arrived at Ethan's private house, and watched Ethan push the box into the secret room.After closing the door of the secret room, the secret room disappeared after a while, and it became an ordinary wall again.

Lance took Ethan back to Kent's house, and the father and son went into the secret room to talk again.

"Will Grandpa ever tell Mother that you're a Death Eater?"

Lance shook his head, "Even when that lord gained power, he hid his identity very deeply. With his shrewdness, he naturally considered the failure of that lord. Into trouble. Now that His Excellency has failed, no one wants to be associated with Death Eaters."

"Then... have you considered that person's failure?"

"Of course." Lance nodded without hesitation, "Your Excellency's actions are too extreme, and there are good and bad among the Death Eaters. I have long expected that these will lead to a huge backlash. But I didn't expect that the backlash has not yet been seen." , that Your Excellency lost to a baby out of nowhere because of a prophecy."

"Maybe this is the arrangement of fate." Ethan looked at Lance seriously and said, "No matter how powerful that person is, when he faces that child, he is doomed to fail."
