The Family Secret (1)

I’d suspected for a while that Lisa’s background was unusual.

Being royalty already meant her origins were different.

But black magic?

Fortunately, not all of the British royal family practiced black magic. The founder of the Cotton family had passed it down, and it had continued to this day.

In a way, my success was also due to the Cotton family’s black magic.

I decided to take a longer walk with my wife.

It couldn’t be better since we had no secrets from each other… or so I thought.

“So, you knew I was training with Sujeong every day?”

“Yes. I also knew that you sometimes put me to sleep.”

“Why didn’t you say anything?”

“I thought you would tell me when the time was right. And I spent a long time thinking about how I should react.”

That showed my wife’s cautious nature.

Did that mean my wife was also a genius?

“You’re a genius, aren’t you?”

“I heard that a lot when I was young.”

“I knew it.”

“Actually, I was highly anticipated within the family. But everything changed when I married you. The family persecuted you because of it and even tried to assassinate you several times.”

“…….”

That meant I was walking on thin ice, flirting with death without even knowing it.

I could see why they were so opposed.

It wasn’t just that they hated me because I was a foreigner. They were afraid that secrets would leak to Korea, and they knew I would refuse to become a puppet son-in-law.

Lisa desperately defended me and eventually had to sign a confidentiality agreement.

I never expected this kind of twist.

“I could have been dead.”

“It was settled when I gave up my position as heir.”

That was the reason Lisa gave up her position as heir.

Now I knew the truth, and I understood the Cotton family to some extent.

From their point of view, I was the one who stole Lisa, their rising star, and deserved to be beaten to a pulp. Lisa had already reached the 3rd Circle [a level of magical proficiency] at the age of 20.

If she had trained a little more, she would have reached the 4th Circle, and the 5th Circle would have been easy. Once you reach the 5th Circle, you can advance simply with raw magic power.

Lisa gave up her black magic training because of me.

I just had a trauma because they treated me badly, but now I should be grateful that they didn’t kill me.

“Thank you.”

“I’m the one who should be grateful. Now I can start practicing black magic again.”

“How could I not feel your magic power?”

“It’s because of the artifact.”

The secret was in the necklace she always wore.

It was an artifact that could control and hide magic power. It didn’t have any special offensive functions, but it was still a great artifact for concealment.

“Sujeong would be shocked if she knew.”

“Let’s tell Sujeong.”

“I should. I’m worried Sua might want to learn it too.”

“If that happens, it’s fate.”

A family that practices black magic.

Our family has always been unique.

I was just an ordinary Korean, but my wife was British royalty. It was unusual from the start, but now it’s even more extraordinary.

The whole family practices black magic.

“Maybe I recognized your genius early on.”

“Genius? I’m just an ordinary person.”

“You’re a genius when it comes to black magic.”

“Did you know I would be great at black magic?”

“Of course not. I think I was just drawn to you instinctively.”

It was a strange relationship.

Now the question was answered.

The reason she was attracted to me.

Lisa held my hand tightly.

“That was just the trigger.”

“I know.”

Lisa was considerate, worried that I might be upset.

I felt relieved and talked about future plans.

“As you know, Androids are a type of undead. Russia and the United States have already crushed them, and soon we will be moving to another dimension.”

“Are you going to conquer it?”

“What do you think?”

“Shouldn’t I follow my husband’s wishes? If you want to conquer it, I’ll help you. I can now reach the 4th Circle. I was just wondering if I should use black magic again.”

A couple conquering another world together.

I couldn’t quite picture it.

“Keep practicing black magic. But I don’t want to take you to the battlefield.”

“Yes. I’ll do as you wish.”

My wife was no ordinary person.

Just looking at how she has led the situation so far, she has an extraordinary brain.

That’s why our daughters are geniuses.

It’s rare for a man and woman with a talent for black magic to get married. Maybe Sua also has some talent for black magic.

“Let’s go home then.”

“Yes.”

“And we have to tell Sujeong.”

Around dawn.

As always, Sujeong quietly woke me up.

My wife and I waited for Sujeong to wake up and fell asleep, but when Sujeong woke us up to go to training, my wife also woke up.

“Hmm… Sujeong?”

My wife opened her eyes.

Sujeong, who is not only smart but also has a genius brain, immediately improvised.

“Ung… Sujeong had a nightmare. Can I sleep with you today?”

It’s a complete change of attitude.

If my wife had been fast asleep, we would have gone straight to the cemetery [a euphemism for intense training]. But since my wife woke up, she’s trying to smooth things over like this.

However, in Sujeong’s eyes, there is a slight hint of resentment, ‘Dad, didn’t you put Mom to sleep?’

Sujeong’s circle was split, and she was injecting pure black magic. Training every day was Sujeong’s joy.

Anyway, she perfectly plays the role of a child and snuggles into her mother’s arms.

Lisa hugged Sujeong tightly and said.

“You’ve been through a lot.”

“Huh? I had a nightmare, but I’ve been through a lot.”

“How hard was it to deceive Mom?”

“……!”

Sujeong’s body stiffened.

Her limbs were stiffening, and she seemed quite surprised.

Sujeong jumped up.

“So, Sujeong is…”

“Mom is a black magician too.”

“Gasp!”

Sujeong gasped.

She must have wondered what was going on.

The mother she had been deceiving until now was a black magician? Even the smart Sujeong was quite embarrassed and couldn’t find the words to say.

My wife and I sat Sujeong in the middle of the bed. And Lisa told her the same story she had told me.

In a way, it was a secret story of the couple, and it was something that ordinary children of this age would never understand.

But Sujeong’s intelligence far surpassed that of a child.

Her intelligence was so outstanding that she looked at bloodthirsty and *chuunibyou* [a Japanese term for someone who acts like they have special powers or knowledge] teenagers with a click of her tongue. There was no way that Sujeong couldn’t understand.

“…So, Grandpa was Mom’s confidant?”

“That’s right. Originally, we were going to live quietly in our neighborhood, but Sujeong was so smart that he taught her black magic. Still, Sujeong passed on black magic to Dad, so we could escape poverty, so it was a good thing.”

For a moment, Sujeong quietly organized her thoughts as if she had been hit in the head with a hammer.

Soon after, Sujeong smiled.

“Wow! Mom is the best!”

“I’m sorry. Mom has been hiding it until now.”

“Sujeong is not a child. I understand enough!”

Rather, Sujeong was happy.

It was a burden for Sujeong to deceive Lisa. She had always been worried, and it was obvious that the situation would worsen to the point where she could no longer hide it.

Now she can put down that heartache.

A family without lies.

Sujeong snuggled into Lisa.

“I love you, Mom. And I’m sorry.”

“No. Mom is sorry.”

“Hehe. Then can Sujeong tell Mom without having to hide it?”

“Of course.”

“Sujeong has completed half of the dimensional 이동 [transfer/teleportation] magic circle!”

“Wow, really?”

“Yes!”

Sujeong was very excited.

At this moment, the emotions of a child who wants to be praised were well revealed.

No matter how outstanding her intelligence is, it was a very natural phenomenon that could appear in a girl of this age who wants to be spoiled by her parents.

Sujeong ran to her room and brought a thick book.

Inside, there are runes that Sujeong is interpreting, annotations on the original text, and footnotes that add interpretations.

Lisa had also learned magic for a long time, and even though time had passed, she could still recognize it to some extent.

Even to me, Sujeong has surpassed the category of genius.

I didn’t even understand where this kid came from, even though I created her.

“You must have had a hard time.”

“Hehe. But I’m glad Mom understands now.”

“Will you continue to help Dad a lot in the future?”

“Yes! If I grow up a little more, I can participate in management and assist the empire that Dad is building!”

Sujeong was full of dreams.

Certainly, if a genius like Sujeong participates in management, it will be easier to do business.

Ah, of course, I didn’t want to exploit my daughter from the start.

If Sujeong participates in management during this period of rapid business development, she will not be able to sleep and will be exploited.

“Dad. Wouldn’t the magic circle be completed faster if we had this?”

“Of course! Everyone is researching it separately, so I think we’ll complete more than 70% of it.”

“There’s really not much left.”

“When the magic circle is completed, let’s go on a luxurious vacation.”

“In another world?”

“Yes.”

“Wow, that’s exciting!”

Sujeong jumped off the bed.

At this moment, there was really no other child who was as excited as she was.

We immediately scanned Sujeong’s research data.

Calvin and Lucain were busy deciphering runes at night while running their businesses. It’s a great example of studying hard while working.

I’m sorry for entrusting such work to the old men, but it was the dream of all black magicians to cross dimensions as soon as possible.

Sujeong and Lisa were the same.

They know that if they go to another world, the homeland of black magicians, they can develop faster than they are now.

Then you can promote various things.

“I’m going to pick out 100,000 troops this time. And I have to train them.”

“Wow! Really!?”

“Yes, but this has to be justified, so I told the president that I was filming a war movie. A training ground and set will be built within a month. It’s 100,000 *pyeong* [approximately 82.6 acres] in size.”

“Is that possible?”

“Maybe?”

A huge amount of undead are 投入 [thrown/invested] into the construction. The training ground construction will definitely be done quickly.

I finished scanning while talking.

I immediately picked up my phone and contacted Calvin. The desire to brag about my daughter’s results welled up from the depths of my heart.
