Failed Inheritance

"What did that old man say again?"

What are the components of my country's fiscal system?

Boring.

Finally,

The selection process has begun.

First, there's the eldest son.

They were going to explain their philosophies of governance to me one by one.

What?

What was my son just saying?

Breed more fire dragons?

Fire dragons are so cool!

But this would reduce the servants' food rations?

Also, it seems like 'we' all have magic?

Are those who possess magic dominant?

Those servants refer to Muggle, lowly beings who are not even Mudblood.

Hmm. Then why give these servants food?

"Am I too kind to my eldest son?" Zacharias's inner thoughts echoed through the screen.

Even Snape, who wasn't particularly interested in him to begin with, couldn't help but tease Dumbledore, saying, "Look, this is the student you've been trying so hard to save."

Are you sure he is Zacharias?

Instead of Voldemort?

"Oh, I forgot, Voldemort was also your student."

"Protecting the students' safety at Hogwarts is the headmaster's responsibility. Our role is simply to guide them."

"But I remember when Harry was in first year,"

You knew that Voldemort had his eye on the Philosopher's Stone, yet you hid it at Hogwarts.

They even allowed Voldemort's remnant soul to reside in Quirrell's head and stay with the students.

"It's different. Voldemort was weak. I've always been here." Dumbledore shook his head.

Snape wanted to say something more.

But Lily stopped her very quickly.

In the picture, the second prince appears very confident.

Skilled at reading people, he immediately sensed his father's dissatisfaction with his elder brother's answer.

Hmph! How could my father possibly approve of such a brutal policy?

The number of fire dragons that the Dragon Lord can control is limited.

Increasing the number of fire dragons will only increase the power of the clan.

My older brother is indeed an idiot.

Zacharias had no idea what his 'second son' was thinking.

Seeing how confident the 'second son' was.

He thought he would come up with some proposal like deporting all Muggle.

So he leaned forward slightly, full of anticipation.

The second prince proudly proclaimed his answer, "Our food, clothing, shelter, and transportation all come from the work of our slaves."

Their work allows us to escape from mundane affairs.

We can devote ourselves to more important causes that only nobles like us can accomplish.

If the servants' food is reduced.

Our businesses will also be affected.

Just think about it, they have to work eight hours a day.

They only provide three meals a day and no snacks.

Milk is only available in the morning, and the lunch break is only one hour long.

We can only rest five days a week.

These conditions are the worst among all wizarding kingdoms.

Therefore, I suggest reducing the workload based on the original amount.

It's best to work four days on and three days off.

Milk is perfectly fine for them to drink, just like water.

After all, it's not expensive.

The second prince's voice unconsciously rose towards the end.

Because he noticed that his father was trembling with excitement.

He was right.

Zacharias was indeed shaking.

"This workload?"

Are slaves really that good?

I was actually a little tempted when I heard about this job!

Blanch them! These Muggle don't even deserve it!

No!

They should be exploited severely!

Off the field, Snape looked at Dumbledore and said, "We wizards today live worse than slaves did in the past."

Also, isn't this kid a descendant of Hufflepuff?

How could I have fallen for this job?

His family is quite wealthy, so why did they get him a Murtlap?

"We have the right to choose freely."

The things we consume now are things that wizards couldn't enjoy in the past.

Even wizard lords are the same.

"We're supposed to enjoy this, and it's normal to put in a little extra time for more Galleons, right?" Dumbledore also a little doubtful about life.

But he quickly chose to avoid the question, saying, "I'll answer your later questions instead."

Among all the Smith (referring to the descendants of Hufflepuff), they were considered wealthy.

Actually, it's just the lineage of Hepzba Smith.

Although Zacharias's family received a portion of the estate after her unexpected death.

But their family still maintains their simple lifestyle.

Presumably, Zacharias must have worked part-time to earn pocket money.

"But aren't all the descendants of Hufflepuff just as unlikable as Gaunt, the descendant of Slytherin?"

"Could his parents be like Isolt Sayre of Gaunt?" Lily was very curious.

She knew in the Afterlife that, in addition to physical characteristics, the bloodlines of wizards that have been passed down steadily often bear the personality traits of their wizard ancestors.

Smith's ancestor, if we don't mention that Smith.

It inherited the character of the Hufflepuff descendant who stole the Hufflepuff's Cup.

They must all be very harsh.

"No.

Although this might be considered defamatory.

But Wendy and Fender (Zacharias's parents) were only frugal when it came to spending money. Dumbledore shook his head. "Alright, now it's almost time for our last little prince."

In the current scene.

The eldest and second princes were both covered in dust and dirt.

The second prince, in particular.

Just now, the Dragon Lord actually spewed 'Dragonfire' (a term used by the king of that kingdom to curse) because of his words, "What hardship do slaves have! I think they are too happy! Next!"

The eldest prince did the same even when he had clearly bet on the right direction.

It was because he realized that his plan was probably not ruthless enough.

Although the Dragon Lord should not emit a clear dragon roar during the assessment (referring to expressing a preference for the answer before announcing the results).

But now the clear roar of the dragon has resounded throughout the Dragon's Lair (palace).

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, his younger brother will be fine as long as he's not an idiot.

They will definitely obtain the crown of the Dragon Lord.

"Very good, very good."

The youngest son is not bad!

Although I did not expel these lowly Muggle from 'my' kingdom.

However, rest is only permitted after dark.

They only provide two meals a day.

Not giving them drinks other than water is a good thing.

We should breed more fire dragons!

"On the Iron Throne, Zacharias suppressed his satisfaction and muttered to himself."

From the sidelines, Snape glanced disdainfully at Zacharias, who was still floating on the transparent 'stretcher'. "Looks like this brat's going to be kicked out of the dream!"

This can be seen from Hufflepuff's attitude towards House-elf.

If she were to choose an heir she approves of, she would likely select the second prince.

"Yes, it seems we won't be able to see what the Hufflepuff legacy is."

It is clearly related to Odin.

Ravenclaw's is Ghostification, Slytherin's is name magic, but what will Hufflepuff's be?

"What a pity." Dumbledore shook his head.

Even he couldn't help but sigh at this.

In the scene, Zacharias loudly proclaims his answer, "My heir is the third prince!"

Then, the screen shattered.

Zacharias also woke up.

However, no one cared that he woke up.

They all looked at the Golden Cup without prior agreement.

After the image shattered, a transparent flame ignited from the center of the Golden Cup.

That seemed to be Ghostification of the Gubraithian Fire?
