Inside of a spacious aerial carriage, Mer sat next to Eugene and distractedly fiddled with her fingers. No matter how much she thought about it, this whole situation didn’t make any sense to Mer.

Akasha belonged to Sienna. The same went for Witch Craft and everything else that was in Sienna’s Hall; it all belonged to Sienna. Although they were currently displayed in the Royal Library Akron, the royal family of Aroth could not claim ownership of them. It was unacceptable for them to do so.

The Magic Kingdom of Aroth had a long history. The founder of Aroth, the Magic King, was called the first ‘Archwizard’ in the history of humankind, someone who had reached the pinnacle of ancient magic. Ever since then, Aroth had produced several great wizards.

Aroth was only able to establish its title as the Magic Kingdom because Sienna, having returned from Helmuth, had settled in Aroth.

In the following three hundred years, countless wizards and people dreaming of becoming wizards had been drawn to Aroth out of admiration for Sienna and had settled here. Even after Sienna had gone into seclusion, this trend had continued unabated until the present day.

The Green Tower Master, Jeneric Osman, was a wizard who thought of himself as the Chosen One.

That had also been the case with Jeneric’s father, the former Green Tower Master. Mer clearly remembered just how wicked and terrible...
