Summary
“Mother, I beg you, don’t go.”
This is my tenth try.
Nine times I’ve seen her die, and the agony remains.
Footsteps approach—I trace the arcane symbols in haste.
It works this time!
We escape the tyrant emperor who made our lives a living hell.
“Identify yourself.”
Duke Abellant stands before me, breathtakingly handsome.
The one I’ve been searching for.
“I choose you—to become my new father!”
His bewilderment doesn’t matter.
“You will reign as emperor, and I’ll make it happen.”
Believe me, this is for the best.
Accept us.
