Chapter 1 (1/2)

Everyone who lives in this country gets tested at the church when they reach the age of ten. They do this to determine what magical talent the child may have.

Renaria, who is now at the age of ten, heads towards the church with her parents. Naturally, she is filled with anxiety and excitement.

“I hope I get the undine guardian just like mama!”

Renaria looked at her mother, Elizabeth, as they walk down the church halls towards the altar so they can wait for the priest to arrive.

Elizabeth is a young mother with glamorous long blonde hair, smooth porcelain skin, and intense noble purple eyes. She is considered the flower in the Social circles of the nobles. They can’t believe that such a beautiful woman has had two children. Renaria was incredibly proud to have such a beautiful mother.

While Renaria was thinking about her mother, the thought of fire magic that her father and brother carry filled her thoughts with curiosity. She looks up at Chrisford, who is currently holding her right hand.

Marquis Chrisford Sheridan, Renaria’s father, has also been known to be a beautiful man since he was at a tender age.. Rumour has it that many women have fainted because they fell in love with him at first sight.

Elizabeth, a princess in the royal family with commoner blood, was raised in confinement at a monastery and tamed the playboy Chrisford with her charms.

At one point, Chrisford had been severely wounded during a battle with demons. He was sent to that very same monastery to receive treatment, which caused him to have their fateful encounter. The two met, and Elizabeth nursed Chrisford back to health.

Being able to obtain the right to marry Elizabeth was a long and challenging task, as she was the daughter of the king’s former favorite maid, which made things rather tricky. The queen who sentenced Elizabeth’s mother to death over jealousy also opposed the idea of marriage between Chrisford and Elizabeth.

However, this didn’t stop the couple… Their love overcame all odds, and in the end, they got their wish and married.

Renaria thought very lovingly towards her parents.

“I wonder which spirit I’ll get today…”

When a child is tested for magical abilities, spirits appear and make a pact with the child. With the help of spirits, people can use magic without sacrificing their own life force.

Renaria’s mother had the protection of the water spirit Undine. Her father and brother both were protected by the salamander spirit, which was the fire spirit.

“Renaria is the cutest of them all! So I’m sure you’ll be chosen by the cutest of them all!” proclaimed Elizabeth as she lovingly gazed at her daughter.

“Y-yeah!” giggled Renaria in excitement.

Both Renaria’s parent’s eyes are filled with compassion as they dote on their daughter. Filling Renaria with so much joy, she can’t help but laugh.

Once they arrived at the church, the ceremony began with Renaria being the first to be called. She stood up and tottered over towards the altar in order to meet the priest

Renaria touches the round ball. It starts to shimmer little by little while making a calming humming sound.
