212 – Appreciation

{Vorn's POV}

"So, despite being considered the greatest dark magus, Fergus can't use any elemental magic?" I made a conclusion from Bran's story.

The scientist wrote something into an adult's palm-sized book. "That's right, Your Highness. Elemental magic is considered the foundation. People assume you won't succeed as a wizard if you don't master it."

"I see." I rubbed my chin. "He was frustrated and ended up developing his own magic."

"His magic is unique and can't be understood by other wizards, even high-level ones." Bran handed the maroon book to me, then sighed. "That got me thinking, my lord. Maybe I'd be like him if you didn't give me a chance. Well, I can do elemental magic, but people haven't appreciated me in the past."

I opened the book and found a letter with random letters on the first page. "Are you happy now, Bran?"

"Yes, very." He smiled slightly but didn't look at me. "I feel very alive here."
