Emperor Ian Veroshion, the first noble mage, was betrayed and executed. Cursed to never be reborn, he awakens a century later as the illegitimate son of a disgraced ducal line, destined to be a hostage in a barbaric land. Stripped of his magic and his throne, he must navigate a world vastly different from the one he ruled, facing political machinations and a resurgent monster threat. But the embers of his past life still burn, and Ian will not surrender his legacy. He will reclaim his name, his magic, and perhaps, even his empire.

A magnificent carriage, radiating power and importance, rolled through the estate gates. It resembled the previous arrival of the investigation team, yet was distinctly different. Even a blind man, from miles away, could sense that this carriage carried good news.

Curious villagers trailed after the carriage, following the path it carved through the dust.

"What's this? Another carriage from the capital?"

"No way! The investigation team's back already?"

"The banner's different this time. And that carriage looks way too expensive. What's happening, I wonder?"

"Carriages are always expensive, you moron."

"Whoa! It's going up to the manor!"

Every servant working in the manor scurried outside. Ian, brushing dirt from his clothes, headed for the main gate.
