The Margrave’s illegitimate son was destined to become Emperor—a boy who rose to power only to meet a tragic end, executed before he could even grow into manhood. His fate was sealed as the first noble wizard, a cruel twist of destiny.
“Ian, don’t be born in your next life,” whispered the traitor, his words cold and final.
He believed it was truly the end. Yet, despite everything…
“You are a symbol of peace. What greater honor could a lowborn like you ever achieve?”
Reborn into a world where his noble bloodline had vanished a century ago, he found himself as the Margrave’s bastard son—crude, unwanted, and doomed to be bartered away as a hostage to the savage tribes beyond the border.
