96: Restless night

Somewhere inside the mansion Baron Pheros smiled as he thought about the day he would gain the world. He had done a lot for this day to come and he had made countless sacrifices to find a way to immortality.

He had even let that 'witch' near his beloved treasure and had risked losing everything just for a glimpse of attention and fulfilling his goal.

Many people might think that he wanted to gain immortality for the sake of living forever but that could not be further away from the truth.

In reality, Baron Pheros did not seek immortality but a resurrection to bring his most important person back. He wanted to revive the only human to have shown him kindness, his stepmother.

His stepmother had been a person of a low birth his father had brought in when Baron Pheros's mother had died. He had still been young and had not understood why people had not liked the gentle lady.
