Harry Potter's Bastard

The situation within the Greif family is more complicated than Solim had imagined. After all, he had never been exposed to such a situation, and his lack of experience was understandable.

The Greif family is currently divided into several factions.

The first is the pro-Selwyn faction, led by Andreas, who are the main force that facilitated the marriage of Selwin and Greif, and they are currently the strongest within the Greif family.

The second is the conservative faction, led by Christian, who opposes marriages with any European family. These people believe that the best way to gather those friendly families who are related to Greif by marriage to fight against the coveting of the Ridge family, to put it bluntly, is a group of people who want to seek benefits for their own family with the idea of "fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", including some of the sons-in-law of the Greif family and the descendants of these people.

Again, there is the low-key Frederick group, which, according to Selwyn's investigation, has some connection to the Rich family, but the exact circumstances have not yet been clarified.

These are just three forces on the table, and their internal opinions are actually not consistent. In the case of the pro-Selwyns, some of them are not interested in Solim, and these people think that Selwyn is just an illegitimate child, which is not good for the Greif family, and they prefer to have male descendants within Selwyn, such as several of Solim's cousins.

The divisions within the conservative wing are the most acute, as Greif's sons-in-law come from different families, who have little in common except that they share little in the general direction, and now appear to be united, but they are merely huddled together for warmth.

As for Frederick, who has not yet been identified, the information suggests that Solim keep his distance from him. This is simply nonsense, and he must not be able to hide from the people who have dealings with the Rich family, and where will he go up.

After looking at it all, Solim found that the situation he was about to encounter was a little worse. According to the information that has been heard, there will be someone who will come out to cause trouble at the engagement ceremony, and not only that, but the Rich family has also secretly sent someone to infiltrate, but this person has not yet been found - this is what worries Solim the most. It's easy to say if it's an ordinary wizard, but there are too many means for a wizard family like Richie to come up with, so many that it is impossible to prevent it, and there are so many methods that Solim has not even heard of.

All he could hope for now was that the wizard in charge of the family's security would serve a snack and not let himself be poisoned at the banquet or taken away on the spot by some wine glass that had been made into a portkey.

It was late at night, but Solim didn't get tired at all, and since the completion of the bloodline sublimation ritual, Solim's energy was so much that he even suspected that the blood in his body had been replaced by a stimulant by magic. It's one thing to be energetic, but it's another to read this boring material, and Solim put down the information about the various interests and relationships of the Greif family, and he felt that there was no need to read it anymore. Anyway, he just needs to know that everyone has bad intentions.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Solim was glad that he was not a girl and that he would not need to live here in the future. Picking up the information about Elena that Sylna had seen earlier, and the official meeting was going to be tomorrow, Solim felt that it was time to get to know this fiancée of his, of course, it would not be accurate to say that the fiancée was not yet engaged, after all, they were not engaged.

Elena was originally a very well-off eldest lady, with a prominent family and two parents, her father was an official of the Law Enforcement Department of the Magic Congress, and her mother was responsible for taking care of the internal affairs of the family. Originally, for a person like her, the rest of her life would be smooth sailing. Unfortunately, her father died at the hands of unknown people while going out with the family elders to deal with family affairs.

said that it was an "unknown person", but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was the ghost of the Richie family. Where is the average wizard family capable of intercepting and killing two great wizards and their retinue, and not letting one of them go. This kind of strength can only be achieved by the top wizard families. Elena's father and several uncles died in the incident, which led to the Greif family's power and influence plummeting. Several important positions in the Wizarding Council were once in the hands of the Greifs, but now they are in the hands of someone else.

Fortunately, the decision-makers of the Greif family were quite decisive and immediately hugged Selwyn's thigh. With Selwyn's intervention, the situation did not deteriorate, but the restoration of the Greif family's former strength and influence was far away.

Solim also had a headache, Elena was two years older than him, and he wasn't sure if this pampered eldest lady would do anything stupid after experiencing the double blow of his father's murder and being forced to marry him.

The family gave Solim very little information about Elena, which shows that they didn't care about Solim's fiancée at all, and their focus was more on investigating the relationship between the families. Come to think of it, a little witch who has just come of age is not worth spending time and energy investigating, anyway, she will move to the country of Woo at that time.

Energetic but exhausted, Solim lay down on the bed. Now he only hopes that there will not be too many people jumping out tomorrow, and there will be no accidents, and he will finish the banquet safely, and then his group will go back safely. As for whether Elena will come to the country as soon as possible after graduating from Ifamoni, or whether the family wants to be stationed in the country to ensure the interests of the family when she becomes an adult, Solim doesn't bother to think about these things now.

The next day, Solim got up early, and they were going to ride the carriage to the Greif family's estate in the Tuscalola Forest. In the carriage, Solim was forced to change into his new robe, which he liked very much, but what he couldn't stand was the cumbersome decorations that needed to be worn—ribbons with tassels, family coats of arms, bits and pieces, and finally they even gave Solim a walking stick.

Solim, who was finally dressed, felt a few kilograms heavier, and even the instep of his shoes was decorated with inlays, and the bits and pieces on his body began to tinkle and make a crisp sound as he walked. Sylna on the side shook her head, she could see her brother's embarrassment, after all, Solim had never had experience in this area, he had always been dressed in plain robes, and had no experience in attending formal occasions between wizards.

Sylna only hopes that her brother, who has temporarily learned some party etiquette, will not make a fool of himself this time.
