Otaku Witch -
Chapter 896 - 896: 563. Mother and Daughter_2
With her talent, if she solely focused on becoming stronger, her achievements would certainly not be limited to what they are now. But family and responsibility have weighed her down.
"Rosalind, who do you think the Divine King is? Our nanny?"
Priscilla glanced at her disappointing young daughter in front of her and then spoke softly.
Rosalind: "..."
The Director of Studies remained silent. Ever since she was a child, she feared this Mother Superior. Now, with such a rebuke, she dared not say anything further.
Actually, she originally had no intention of seeking help from the Divine King, considering that the Divine King's whereabouts were always elusive, and even if you wanted to find him, it would be in vain. But now, it's precisely Witch's Night, and given Mother Superior's status and strength at this point, she could indeed establish contact with this Ancestral Elder.
Moreover, the release of the Lord of Glory is something clearly beyond their capabilities. If the Divine King doesn't step in, who else could possibly hold him back?
She thought this in her heart, but under her mother's imposing gaze, she could only lower her head, feeling somewhat wronged.
Forget it, no matter what is said, it's wrong anyway. Mother Superior has never shown her a kind face; if her sister were still around, Mother Superior wouldn't treat her this way.
Rosalind thought to herself.
Despite being twin sisters, her sister Agnes seemed to have snatched away all the talent in the womb. Compared to her sister, who was hailed as the Second Divine King, she, the younger sister, has always been rather unremarkable.
Anyway, everyone loves her sister, and no one pays attention to this younger sister.
Of course, Rosalind didn't feel jealous or resentful of her sister because of this. She actually liked her sister the most, after all, her sister was the only one who had comforted her in the past.
But towards this Mother Superior, she did harbor some resentment. After all, it's one thing for others not to care about her, but it was incredibly painful that even Mother Superior favored one side so heavily.
Moreover, the reason her sister had that accident back then was largely due to Mother Superior putting too much pressure on her. Otherwise, with her sister's talent, how could she have been seduced by the Lord of Glory and consequently cursed by the knowledge?
Forget it, Mother Superior, if you insist on keeping face, go ahead. Anyway, I'm just a failure; if you have the ability to bear it, then bear it.
With this in mind, the Director of Studies chose to let things be.
On the other hand, the Academy Head Priscilla looked at her silent, head-bowed young daughter, and a fire of frustration flared in her heart. She wanted to reprimand this increasingly unreasonable girl but swallowed her words.
Of her two daughters, she actually favored this young daughter more.
She had been bound by family responsibilities all her life and knew the hardships within, so when her daughters were born, she didn't want them to walk the same path as hers.
But the elder daughter's talent was too outstanding, and her personality was too similar to her own, so even without her demands, she still chose to walk that difficult path of family revival.
Due to this, Priscilla felt both gratified and somewhat sad; proud of having such an excellent daughter, yet regretful that she wasn't strong enough, as the responsibility that should have been hers was now thrust upon her daughter.
Therefore, to ensure her elder daughter walked a smoother path in the future, she was very strict with her demands on her.
As for her younger daughter before her, Priscilla hoped she could live a different life from herself and her elder daughter since her talent was originally average. She should live freely, without being bound by responsibilities and obligations.
However, it was clear that her "good intentions" had instead brought about the daughter's misunderstanding and even resentment.
Now, one daughter was mad, and the other harbored a dark resentment towards her. It was evident that she, as a mother, had utterly failed.
With this thought, the Angel Sage sighed, and the wrinkles on her face became more pronounced.
Suddenly, she recalled her most outstanding disciple, Euphilia.
This disciple was terrifyingly excellent; at a young age, her accomplishments and strength were already nearing that of her teacher. But it is true that the kind of teacher you have often determines the kind of student you produce; this disciple narrowly avoided repeating her teacher's mistakes.
Euphilia's personality was exactly like hers when she was young—too domineering and aggressive. While such a personality might be a strength in her career, it easily led to problems within the family.
Tens of years ago, Priscilla had heard that this disciple was pregnant. At the time, she was quite comforted, thinking this disciple wouldn't be alone all her life. But after a few years, she heard that Euphilia's child was lost.
Fortunately, not long ago, this disciple, whom she hadn't seen in years, unexpectedly visited her teacher and brought good news—she had found her daughter who had been missing for many years.
During their long overdue chat, Priscilla was surprised that this disciple, once even more dominant and assertive than she had been, turned around to advise her teacher to be gentler with family and to communicate more, not to keep everything bottled up and bear it alone, explaining that some things become simpler once made clear.
The Angel Sage could see that the experience of searching for her daughter over those years had changed this disciple a great deal.
This was undoubtedly a form of wear and tear, but not all wear and tear is negative, for growth is also a form of it.
