Chapter 70 Reason of enmity
"Why are they enemies?" Butler George repeated the words, and his eyes started to burn with anger. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Max noticed this change and got confused. Why would Butler George become enraged due to this topic?
"I guess it's time you know this. Your father, Lord Ashton wanted to tell you this before but because you didn't have anything outstanding about yourself and were always gloomy, he didn't tell so as not to give you any mental burden." Butler George sighed and walked toward the sleeping chambers of Ashton and others."Come with me."
Max followed him silently. By the tone of Butler George, he guessed that this was somehow related to him.
Butler George led him to a room beside his father's room. As family's Lord, his room should be most luxurious but the locked room beside his room seemed more elegant. Beautiful looking flowers and a blue luan was carved out on the wooden doors.
Butler George took out a key out of his pocket and inserted in the lock and poured his mana into it.
Clink!
A clinking sound was heard. He took out the key and pushed the doors. He then looked at Max and walked inside, Max also followed.
"What a pleasant scent!" Max exclaimed after breathing in the air inside the room and looked around. There wasn't much, only a bed with pink sheets, A closet and a big mirror beside it. A table was placed on the left side of the room, and on it was a long case. The room walls were decorated with paintings of a cute child, a woman and a man.
Max stared at the paintings. In the paintings, the man appeared only a few times and he looked similar to his father. Child seemed very cute and had Sapphire blue hair and shining Sapphire eyes. But Max didn't look at them as he guessed that the child was him and the man was his father only younger, his attention was focused on the fairy like woman in one of the painting, who had the child in her arms and was looking at him lovingly. After stared at this painting and forgot that there were many other paintings.
The woman had the same hair and eye colour as him. She was wearing white long dress. Her hair fell down her shoulders like waterfall. She had a beautiful oval face, a elegant looking nose and pink lips. Her temperament was very noble, she really looked like a fairy. Even the most beautiful women who Max had seen, such as Esther, Margaret, Lilly and others, weren't comparable to her.
But Max wasn't attracted to her beauty and stared at her looking at the child with loving eyes. A tear unknowingly slid down his cheek and he mumbled, "Mother!"
He was sure that this woman was his mother. Although he didn't have the memories of 'this' Max, he had this feeling that she was his mother at a glance and she had similar features to him or it could be said that he had similar features to her.
'But why do I have this strange feeling? Huh, Why am I crying?' Max was startled when he realised that tears were dripping down his face.
Although Max has reincarnated in previous Max's body, he didn't have his memories or feelings. When he woke up, everyone was a stranger to him, but when seeing his mother's painting, he suddenly felt as if he was familiar with her. It was strange.
Butler George also has been staring at his mother's painting with various emotions in his eyes but when he turned to look at Max he saw him crying. He didn't say anything and nodded slightly and murmured, "He is still that child."
When Max was just a little kid, he was a cheerful child. Everyone doted on him but his mother was the one who loved him the most and he also loved his mother the most. He would always stay by her side and would cry whenever she went away for a few days. When she died, her death gave him a big trauma. He lost his cheerfulness and after knowing that his talent was also trash, he become a different person. He wouldn't even speak to his father.
On his 18th birthday, when he got seriously injured, everyone thought he wouldn't wake up again but he did. Ashton and others were very happy about this but he seemed a bit different and his personality also changed. No one could see this difference apart from his father Ashton and him but they thought it was because he faced near death situation but then he showed outstanding talent in magic and achieved two star mage realm in very short time.
Although they were happy that he became strong and wasn't gloomy like before, Ashton had a suspicion about this abrupt change and discussed it with Butler George. This suspicion was mainly because Ashton had asked many specialists about his condition before and everyone said the same thing that he couldn't cultivate ever and now he made such an astonishing progress and even awakened an element without any resource.
It was strange But he discarded this as no matter what happened that made him change again, he was still his son. Although Ashton didn't care anymore, Butler George couldn't let go of this suspicion.
He kept an eye on Max and found that he has become much too interested in sex which was total contrast to before. Even though it could be said to be the result of his personality change, Butler George started thinking that someone might have possessed him.
He had heard of such cases before and after a few days he found out that he didn't have any memory of him before which was one of the side effects of the possession which would subside after complete assimilation of souls. This made him wary but now it seemed like it was unnecessary and was only because of that head injury that he forget as it wasn't possible to have such an intense reaction if it was someone else who possessed him.
***
Max stopped thinking about it and gradually calmed down and asked "Uncle George, It's my mother's room right! Why are we here?"
Butler George said "You wanted to know the reason why Lord Viscount and Count Wiley has enmity right? It's related to your Mother's death."
