The Lambert family, one of the ancient families that have existed since the establishment of the empire, is one of the branches of the founding royal family.
Although it is not a competitor of the three families,
However, it is considered a commercial force that cannot be ignored.
It wasn't like this before
From generation to generation, its members inherited business acumen, and the high skill of seizing opportunities, and winning deals...
..."But"...
Their lack of magic left them behind in the world, their talent useless.
Each lord who took over the head of the family harnessed what he could to bequeath power to his children, mana stones, hunting rare beasts, exploiting the children of commoners who were born with immense magic power.
They spent a lot of money to achieve their only desire.
All these efforts were crowned with success. The offspring of the Lambert family was born with enormous magical power.
It invested in supporting their trade, which later developed into the production of various magical tools, and the construction of transportation centers.
By this they became one of the pillars of the empire, and their influence extended beyond borders.
The boom continued for decades.
They did not think for a moment that the complex they had thrown away would become a curse that would haunt them again.
Claudia, the second daughter of the Lambert family, was born...without magical power.
she is my mother.
Fear of losing efforts, fear of going back to the past,
All this caused them a great shock....
She was ostracized and considered a disgrace to the family.
Her beauty and talents did not intercede for her, for despite everything, she is the "cursed child"
Claudia, who tried to prove to her family that she is not a hindrance, began to think of giving up in her mind.
"Should I accept my fate and die, should I not be born?".
Until one day, her savior came,With one sentence, her life was completely changed.
-"I will take you as my wife".
Persephone Herodotus propose to her.
It was hard to believe
Why would a strong and great man like him marry a cursed woman like her?.
Claudia did not hesitate and accepted the offer directly.
-"yes I do "
The news spread everywhere and the story was repeated on every tongue, a love story between the noblest man and a cursed woman that was not affected by the differences or the view of high society.
Claudia was considered the most fortunate woman in the empire.
It's a famous story, the maids keep talking about it, it's reminded when new servants arrive at the palace.
But behind this romantic story, there is something that no one can discover.
I looked at the relationship between my mother and father, it was very strange.
With a little research and my attempt to connect the ideas, I came to a logical explanation
My father did not marry my mother for love, and my mother knows this.
My father is a person who does not believe in love, but rather all that matters to him is the honor and reputation of the family.
In order for his influence to become stronger, he could marry a woman of strong charm, such as Princess Alina, but he didn't.
what connects the events together is the story of "Rose Garden".
My father deliberately married my mother because she does not have any magic so that his children inherit his magic only, and to avoid what happened with the predecessor Roger.
As for my being the only child, it is to avoid the blood war that my father fought with his brothers to head the family, according to what I heard from the old servants, it was a violent war that only a few people know about because he got rid of the rest
My father chose to have one child, and harness all the potential in him, to become the next master.
That explains my mother's obsession with me, and doing everything she can to make me successful.
She is completely different from my mom. They both wanted my success, but their ways and intentions are different. My real mom wanted my success for my sake, and she did not force me to do anything.
I do not blame my current mother, but I completely agree with her, everything she does, even if it is for her personal goals, is in my interest.
But that wouldn't stop me from learning the sword, so I decided, every day at three in the morning, to sneak into the woods next to the subsidiary palace to learn swordsmanship with the help of "Sir Evon".
Sir Evon is considered one of the best swordsmen in the empire.
He could have joined the strongest cavalry regiment, and even had an offer from the regiments of the Aeolus family.
But because of an old debt between the ancestors, it remained associated with the Herodotus family.
It seemed that my desire to master the sword, despite the opposition I was exposed to, moved his spirit as a knight, and he accepted my offer to learn swordsmanship.
I have to do my best to take a step forward.
After two years, I continued to practice swordsmanship along with studying magic, learning noble etiquette, and other exhausting lessons.
At the forest
The sounds of swords were loud , I was suffering from my training with Sir Evon .
-"Young master, you must not lose focus on your lower body."
- "Shh...how can I focus when you keep pushing me"
Damn ,at this rate it's really going to kill me
He waved a sword trying to cut me horizontally in half.
Is he serious? I must avoid it.
I collapsed on the ground, I barely escaped from it.
-"Oh, well done for avoiding it, you are getting stronger day by day".
- "Who do you want to fool, if i were in a real fight, i would be dead?".
- "I am not deceiving you. Considering your young age, you are really talented."
-"Is that a compliment?".
Sir Avon smiled and said
-"I'm telling the truth, let's get some rest".
-"Wow, it's really tiring."
I leaned under the shade of the tree, my mind drifted away while I was contemplating the blue of the sky, many thoughts running through my mind.
Sir Evon Schrody interrupted and asked me in a worried tone:
- "Sir, are you thinking about the ceremony?".
I have a month left before I reach the age of seven. I will not lie and say that it did not bother me. Thinking about the ceremony did not leave my mind, and many questions exhausted me.
What will happen to me after the ceremony?,
What challenges will I face?,
How will my mother behave after that?.
I looked at him and smiled, trying to erase the worried look from his face
-" Don't worry, I won't let the thought of ceremony affect me. I will be fine"
-"Yes, I hope so..."
I got up and cleaned my clothes from dust, I have to go back before my mother notices me
- "I will go back to the palace, as you know my mother's mood these days."
Sir nodded and said:
-"Yes, I understand. Good-bye, sir."
While sir Evon kept watching Akir leaving, A strange feeling was pressing on his chest
-"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling. I hope Young Master doesn't get hurt."
After the tragic end of his life, he was born again in the body of Akir, the only son of the count's family, the strongest in the use of the element of fire. He thought that he would live a comfortable life until the day came when it was discovered that he did not inherit the magic of fire. Here his life turns into hell and he is replaced by an illegitimate son, so he decides to escape from the family To discover this unfamiliar world and make himself stronger to become a miracle of the world and the most powerful lord in the empire
