Summary
Lucia Arpegio, formerly the kingdom’s most powerful sorceress, gave up her magic and noble status for a life of love with a humble gardener. Now, their daughter struggles under the weight of a dwindling magical heritage. In a society where noble rank is tied to mana strength, the Duke extends an invitation—but only if she can demonstrate her value. Mocked for her common origins and facing constant disdain, her hopes for a tranquil existence are dashed as hostility grows. “You brand me a threat while your own actions are corrupt,” she retorts, having reached her breaking point. Refusing to suffer further indignities, she makes a bold decision: she will claim the duchy as her own.
