His pace

It was an old story but it was not known to the masses because everything about it was covered with a lie. The only people who were clear about what had happened were only the Ginehart and Blackwell Dukedom. The Magic Tower did everything they could to cover up the incident and passed it up as an accident but all the people involved knew what really happened.

Shortly after Ulysses was named as the new head of the Ginehart household, the former head suddenly died and the family did not let the world know what had happened. They silently mourned for the former head and only let the Blackwells attend the funeral. 

Then they shunned all of the mages in their territory. Now their entrance and stay in the dukedom was strictly monitored.
