Bellatrix held a high position as soon as she joined the Death Eaters, had a high degree of autonomy, and was able to mobilize people beyond Voldemort.
The same is true for Regulus. This is not because of their loyalty. Voldemort does not believe in loyalty.
What's more, Bellatrix is fine, but how can Regulus be loyal to Voldemort?
Everything is because of their origins. If they want to live happily in England, especially in the area under the light, they must have the support of the Black family, at least not hostility.
After all, Blake is "darkness".
Voldemort doesn't believe in loyalty, but he needs Black's loyalty.
As the apparent heir of the Black family, Regulus and the contemporary eldest daughter Bellatrix are of course the best entry points - two inexperienced children, and they can be combined with just a little effort.
Manipulate it in the palm of your hand.
He succeeded with Bellatrix, but with Regulus he was unsatisfactory.
In order to achieve his goal, Voldemort even did not hesitate to use his own Horcrux to gain Regulus's loyalty.
Think about it, what kind of trust does it feel for a big man like him to trust him with his "life", and what kind of honor is it?
Just a young boy in his teens, shouldn’t he have the desire to die for his bosom friend?
Regulus really thought this way, so it didn’t take long for the people to disappear.
Ahem, the result is quite different...
What a ghost!
He wanted to gain loyalty, but what he got instead was a stab in the back, but he didn't dare to speak out.
After all, no one wants to break up with each other. The Black family can silently suppress the death of Regulus, and Voldemort is happy with it.
From a profit perspective, it was a good thing that Regulus had an accident. Otherwise, no matter how worried he was about the Black family, Voldemort would have to personally punish him. If the reward and punishment were unclear, people's hearts would be scattered.
As for the Horcrux, it doesn't matter whether it is placed in the cave or in Black's home. Just like the golden cup given to Bellatrix, it only deepens the bond between the two parties.
He values Horcruxes for eternal life, not immortality. The Dark Lord is confident that no one can kill his true form.
In this way, you can play with matryoshka dolls, just like Sirius did.
Once someone invades the cave and takes out the "Horcrux" after all the hard work, they will find...
You've been fooled! Lord Voldemort is smarter than you~
If Voldemort hadn't expected that the most powerful person in the Black family would be an apparent outcast, I'm afraid Slytherin's locket would have stayed at No. 12 Grimmauld Place for a long time.
As for Sirius’ matryoshka doll...
Aini now wants to know why Black gave up the king bomb in his hand and picked a bad card instead.
"..."
After hearing the other party's question, Sirius fell silent. It seemed that after weighing everything, he slowly said: "It's not that I don't want to be James' secret keeper, it's just that my soul can't bear any more."
"Knowledge has its own weight. The reason why the Chidan Loyalty Curse can perfectly support a safe point is because it is conceptually closed."
Sirius knocked on his head. The long-term life in Azkaban had a great impact on him, and it seemed that there was an extremely long dream between him and his previous memories.
"The lock cylinder is the brain, or in other words, the soul of the secret keeper. There is a limit to how much the soul can carry. The more well-known a place is, the greater the load it can block.
And since I was 11 years old, I have successively taken over many secret places of my family. By the time I reached adulthood at the age of 18, my soul has reached a critical value. Forcibly becoming James' secret keeper may cause unpredictable consequences.
Consequences."
The man spoke very slowly, as if he was carefully considering his words word by word.
This is also true. What he said is true, but there is more inside information. Sirius must reply to Aini's questions in the shortest possible language. Otherwise, the more he speaks, the more likely he is to reveal the true secrets of the Black family.
.
Although this secret no longer matters to him, due to the ancient contract, the man cannot take the initiative or use deliberate prompts to reveal it.
Just like weight training can enhance the strength of the body and load the soul, it can also play a role in exercise.
Ever since he was allowed to learn magic, Black has always kept his soul burden at the critical point of pressure under the guidance of his family elders.
Whenever the soul grows to a certain limit, it will continue to carry a secret with a moderate "weight" so that it can get the most perfect training.
It's a pity that wizards are also human beings, and they will also have rebellious periods, especially if they don't get the right guidance. Sirius wasted his years in adulthood, and his soul strength stagnated, which wasted his mother's hard work.
The main reason is that after being removed from the list, it is difficult for the family to contact him again. After all, as Black's eldest son, Sirius's biggest secret is that he is actually...
"The contemporary Dark Star of the Black family? Interesting, so after the second son joins the Death Eaters, it is impossible for you to work for Little Tom."
The secret that had been hidden for half his life was revealed by Aini, but the man was not too surprised. In fact, when the other party asked why he was not allowed to be James' secret keeper, he had some vague premonitions.
"He is the former Dark Star of the Black family. After you revealed this secret, he is no longer the one."
Every family has a way to preserve fire, and the Dark Star of the Black family is such a role.
When the previous generation of Dark Stars grow old, the Blacks will select the one with the thickest soul among the newborns for special training - just like Sirius.
They bear the family's most important secrets, and even if their apparent power collapses, they can still retain the capital to return to the top.
Big families never put their eggs in one basket. Even the Prewett and Longbottom families, who were completely on Dumbledore's side during the Wizarding War, also had direct or branch "unscrupulous children" who joined the Death Eaters.
.
Therefore, most Dark Stars will openly betray their families to avoid the risk of being wiped out.
Walburga probably didn't expect that after his son left the family, he would run away like a wild dog running away.
But with the contract and bloodline, as long as Sirius can survive, he will be a successful Dark Star.
When the family falls into the dilemma of having no successor, Dark Star will obtain all contract rights.
When his identity was exposed, he was no longer Dark Star, but a new generation of family head who shouldered the responsibility of revival.
"It seems that there is a big shot sitting in front of me."
Ani smiled playfully. When he revealed Blake's identity, the runes on the other party's appearance changed very interestingly.
Sirius's face also became rosy and full of life at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just a minute ago, it was as pale and swollen as a pig's skin soaked in water...
Becoming the head of the family brings gifts, blessings, huge wealth, and alluring rights; it also brings constraints, responsibilities, a road ahead without freedom, and the burden of reviving the family.
No matter how majestic the palace is, to Sirius, it is nothing more than an exquisite and gorgeous birdcage.
And he will become a person who has lost his freedom, a—
