**

On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. 

Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. 

Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. 

"Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy."

To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence; similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed:

A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead...

and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid.

Sustaining the King's Life

<p>The king had been in a state of worry lately. Everything was too quiet—in fact, it was too peaceful despite the chaos inside his mind. Alexander Octavius Ein Feuerkrieger IX felt at peace just a moment ago. But tranquility didn't last long—because apparently, the forsaken attacks tonight. Who would have expected the forsaken to be such a hasty person? That was what the circle was talking about just several minutes ago, before he left to fend off the fire giant wreaking havoc into the royal city.</p>

<p>The king felt bad leaving Faustina behind, but this was something that she couldn't handle, even if they were telling him about her great mana. And the king couldn't possibly bring her to battle. She had to stay at the castle where it's safe. He commanded the captain of the Knighthood of the Firehawk to guard her. Sir Roth Adelard was an impeccable knight who would be competent enough to protect Faustina.</p>
