expected her to go after her eldest son, Manton, including the husband who was supposed to love her most, and who, after Hill's birth, was even more protective of her.
However, no one expected that there would be no boring women's war in the mage's world. Melanie plunged into alchemy, took her son and bought a manor outside the town to live in, and never saw her husband again.
Until she was 12, Hill only saw this so-called father at the annual New Year's dinner. Unfortunately, when he was 12 years old, Melanie's alchemy failed, and her spell backburned. She died a few months later, forcing Hill to return to Earl's Castle.
The Earl of Pelast was indifferent to his son, and immediately entered the race for a third wife. He no longer dare to marry a noble female mage, 12 years, let the nobles laugh at the day he had enough.
