MMishap + Upcoming One Shot Update!
Iāve been incredibly busy these past few months, but Iām finally getting around to finishing Mishap chp. 12! Not only that, Iāve written a silvermantis one-shot! That should also be posted soon! Iāll try to be more consistent with updates, but I make no promises rn! Anyway, since itās been months, hereās a little sneak peek of chp. 12 featuring Papa Silva ;)
Naƫl snapped back into the present, taking a sip from his tea. It had long gone cold, but he could hardly find it in himself to care. His mind was occupied by other, far more pressing matters.
He had heard the name before. How could he not? After all, he was one of the three Magic Knight Captains with no royal or noble blood (along with the foreigner and the witch). It had caused quite an uproar among his peers back when they had been elected as captains of their respective brigades. Too much of an uproar, as it had reached even NaĆ«lās ears in seclusion. It was hard to forget.
Therefore, NaĆ«l had recognized the name in bold ink when his brother-in-law had sent a letter in frenzied words. Three months prior, Lucian had informed him of Jackās impromptu elopement to his eldest son. (And his opposition to the union). It had certainly been unexpected. After all, the image he had created of his son did not match the Nozel of the newsāat all. Granted, that image had been forged with the far-away memories of the times when he had acted as a proper father. Not only that, but all the current knowledge he had of his primogeniture came from hearsayāand Lucian and Gladiolaās letters.
Now, it was safe to assume the image he had constructed of Nozel was flawed. His ego took the blow wholeheartedly. It was bad enough that he had been mistaken about his youngest (Noelle turned out to be as strong as Acier, if the reports were anything to go by), but apparently he had also been oblivious to Nozelās changes.
(Seclusion had its downside, he would admit. Regardless, he preferred living in ignorance than to see Acier every time he stepped outside, every time he saw their children.)
Nevertheless, back then, although the news came unexpectedly, he couldnāt find it in himself to care much. A great contrast to Lucianās own melodramatic reaction. The man had been livid, begging NaĆ«l to interfere through extensive letters. He couldnāt tolerate a common man marrying into the family, and hoped NaĆ«l would see things from his perspective. However, Nozel was the Head of House Silva, and NaĆ«l would not question his authority.
Lucianās letters remained unanswered.
That is, until his latest letter, the one that had forced him out of seclusion.
