124 Why do you never try to learn from your sister?

"Did you completely overlook the tension that arose during today's meeting? What? Was your brain in hibernation or something? Or has that whole darn thing rusted away since you have your sister taking care of things for you?"

Draven spoke as his mouth twitched in anger.

Vaelen's expression changed, not wanting to meet his father's eyes, he turned towards his little sister and Lirael sighed.

"Brother, what you said would have been true if the Family Head was old, if the Battle of Heirs was at its peak where the next Heir had to be chosen as soon as possible.

Right now, however, that is not the case,

Lady Astra is merely 60 years old and since she is an Advance Mage, she can live till she is 150 years old. The Vesta Family is perfectly comfortable with Lady Astra as the Family Head for at least the next 40 to 50 years.

The Battle of Heirs is only at its starting phase and the family is in no hurry to choose the next heir.
