Chapter 3

'Savine family' is one of the most powerful one among the all other aristocratic families out there. Initially it was a noraml ducal family just like others, however a strange event created chaos in the family.

About 1500 years ago, Rian Savine, the duke of Savine at that time was also a light core bearer. During his journey to the borders he met a 'runaway slave', which was what she called herself as, and fell in love with her. He was unaware that he was being kept in dark and went on to marry her. Only after a few days did he come to know about her origins.

Unlike what she had told him, she was no runaway slave, but the daughter of the lord of the infamous Castilo clan. After the the war between the monarch and the Castilo Clan, The Castilo Clan after being suppressed by the saintess, went under hiding.

The Castilo clan, which was best known as "The Demon Clan", were the users of dark mana. Helena Castilo, who did not inherit her father's cruelty nor his slyness, was abandoned by her family. As per the custom she was also in line for acquiring the title of the lord and had to undergo training to kill her siblings in order to receive the title. Helena, who refused to become a monster like them who killed their own kin without batting an eye. She ran away from her family, and went one moving from one place to another.

In the process of escaping, she met the Duke, Rian Savine, who was kind enough to give her shelter. She loved his kind and gentle demenour, as it was her first time to witness someone with such a personality. She was happy to know that she was not the only one to have such feelings, and got married to him. Despite knowing that she couldn't hide the truth from him, she was anxious to reveal her identity as a Castilo. The day she feared finally arrived and the duke came to know about it. Yet, he was not angry. Instead, he warmly accepted her and her past, leading a happy life with her for a few years.

They conceived a child, which marked the start of their bad days. Macaire Savine, was what they named him as, hoping for him to lead a happy and blessed life. Little did they know on how he would play an important role in bringing down their family name.

As a result of being a child of a light core bearer and a dark core bearer, his core was extremely unstable. He who held both the elements of mana, had little knowledge about controlling it, consequently leading to the dark mana take control over his mind and body. The reason why babies who possesed dark mana were immedietly killed upon their birth was mainly because of this.

Those with dark mana fail to reign over it hence giving up their consciousness to the hands of dark core. Such people have immense bloodthirst which cannot be satisfied even after wiping out the entire kingdom. The Calisto Clan was a exception, being the only dark mana users in the entire world. It was a mystery as to how their members managed to control their dark mana.

Apparently, Macaire Savine appeared to be a normal, cute kid to others. But no one knew that he was hiding his ferocious fangs under his innocent smile. His parents had no clue regarding all this until he reached 20, inheriting his father's position as the head of the Savine family.
