He became the Emperor when he was just a boy and was beheaded before reaching adulthood. It was a tragedy brought about by his fate as the first noble wizard. “Ian, don’t be born in your next life.” He thought everything was over, listening to the traitor’s heartless words.

A lowly, unsophisticated one, destined to be sold as a hostage to the barbarians across the border.
