Very quickly, the exceptionally talented Mezulash became the captain of the City Defense Army in Northwind Castle, maintaining public order and taking on the responsibility of protecting the city.
During this period, he found a beloved wife from his own race, soon had children, and bought a loft in the city. Everything in life seemed to be heading in a beautiful direction.
But one day, everything changed.
That day, he was diligently investigating a series of disappearances in the city, not noticing the strange looks people were giving him, thinking it was just an ordinary day.
But then His Grace, the Duke, gave a speech.
The seemingly harmonious human neighbors suddenly showed a different face. They raised torches, stormed into his home, and tied his wife and child to a pyre, burning them alive.
When he arrived upon hearing the news, everything he had was reduced to ashes. His former comrades were slaughtering his people, just like slaughtering cattle and sheep.
