Chapter 529 Lesson for Nina?
"So family is the most important thing... What about honor and loyalty? The academy always talked a lot about the honor of serving the kingdom and fighting for His Majesty." Nina asked her brother.
"That is nonsense. Only fools believe it, Nina. Loyalty to your family and honor are important, but giving them to a stranger who just wants to use you is a big mistake." Vicente advised as he looked into his sister's eyes.
He asked. "What do you think would happen to Nova if she was crippled fighting for the king? Do you think the king would support her? Or would her family care for her? This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Who do you think suffers from a disturbed war hero? The state or their family, who have to deal with their traumas?
The king doesn't care about Nova or any of his soldiers, Nina. As long as they're alive and serving him, fine. But when something happens, they are discarded and replaced. Only the families of people like Nova will care about her and try to help her somehow.
So I ask you, where does Nova owe her loyalty? To the king? Or to her relatives, to you, to me?"
Nina was silent for a moment, never having heard such direct truths in her life. Children didn't usually have such conversations.
Of course, when she heard that the king didn't care about his soldiers or subjects, she felt something strange inside. But since the person she trusted the most was the one who told her these things, she believed Vicente.
"She owes her loyalty to us and to her parents," Nina answered Vicente's question.
Vicente liked what he heard. "Exactly, because we're the ones who will take care of her if anything happens. And that's what you should expect from people, Nina. Those for whom you're willing to do anything must be committed to you, not to other people or powers.
As for those you don't give your best to, well, they could betray you at any moment because they'll be thinking about what's best for them and not for you.
Keep these things in mind. One day, you'll see it all in practice."
"I understand, big brother. I'll do my best to protect the family, even if it means breaking rules." She said, clenching her small fists.
