Tier 3: Nascent Mage

Maximus, having cleared his schedule for the day, found himself with a rare to meet the Emberwood family.

He would like to know what made them come here.

Stepping outside the castle, he made his way toward the waiting carriage, a sleek black vehicle pulled by a pair of strong horses.

The carriage set off, traversing the cobbled streets of Moonshadow City.

Maximus gazed out of the window, observing the bustling activity of the city's residents.

The familiar sights and sounds provided a soothing backdrop, allowing him a moment of tranquility amidst his busy days.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the designated guest house.

Maximus stepped out, his presence attracted attention as he made his way towards the entrance.

The guards stationed at the entrance saluted him.

The doors of the guest house opened, and Maximus entered, his gaze scanning the room of the unfamiliar faces of the Emberwood family.

He spotted them in a sitting and engaged in a conversation.

Their haggard appearance showed how they suffered before coming here.

He couldn't help but notice a beauty, as her graceful presence and captivating aura caught his attention.

Intrigued, he discreetly observed her using his keen observation skills.

[Irene Emberwood]

[Potiential: Uncommon]

[Fit: 95]

The result revealed a remarkable fit value of 95, which surprised him a little bit.

However, he remained composed, not allowing his emotions to his face.

With a warm smile, Maximus extended a hand in greeting. "I am Maximus, Lord of Moonshadow City. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."

"Lord Maximus, it's our pleasure to be in your presence," Irene's mother Joana spoke, her voice carrying a mixture of relief and gratitude.

"Thank you for welcoming us to your city."

Maximus gestured for them to sit, taking a seat across from them. "Please, consider yourselves welcome in Moonshadow City."

"You are safe here, and if you need anything you can tell me. Count Marcus was a dear friend to my late father, and I have a duty to support his family."

Curious about why they came here Maximus asked Mrs. Joana "May I ask about the reasons for your family's arrival in Moonshadow City?"

Mrs. Joana, composed yet cautious, met his eyes. "Lord Maximus, our journey here was borne out of necessity. The chaos caused by the war between the noble alliance and the dukes has forced us to leave our estate and seek refuge."

"With my husband's death and my son's injured, we had no choice but to seek safety and support wherever we could find ."

Maximus nodded, his expression sympathetic. "I understand the difficult circumstances you must have experienced."

Mrs. Joana's gratitude shone through her eyes as she replied, "We are truly grateful for your kindness, Lord Maximus. It means a great deal to us in these hard times."

Maximus, maintaining his composure, continued the conversation, delving deeper into what had encountered along the way.

He listened intently, gathering information and assessing how he could best assist the Emberwood family.

...

Maximus, after settling the affairs of the Emberwood family, turned his attention to the upcoming weddings of Rose and Angeline.

He made it a tradition to ensure a memorable and joyous occasion for any of his women.

Dressed in his finest attire, he arrived at Rose's residence with a small entourage of trusted guards and attendants.

Maximus paid a visit to her parents and wanted to personally express his gratitude to them.

As he entered the house, Maximus greeted Rose's parents with respect and courtesy.

He assured them that he would treat Rose with utmost care and respect.

...

After bidding farewell to Rose's parents, Maximus turned his attention to Angeline.

She had been living alone since the death of her parents.

He made sure to arrange her suitable attire for the occasion.

Maximus took great care in selecting a gown that would complement Angeline's beauty, and that she would feel radiant on her special day.

With the event fast approaching, Maximus focused on finalizing the details, ensuring that everything was meticulously planned.

...

Maximus stood at the front of the grand hall, overseeing the festivities of the wedding.

The atmosphere was lively, filled with laughter, music, and the joyous chatter of the guests.

His children remain clueless about the occasion and playfully ran around, their innocent giggles adding a touch of lightness to the event.

Among the attendees were Rose's parents, beaming with pride as they witnessed their daughter with Maximus.

The Emberwood family also graced the occasion.

...

As Irene observed the grandeur of the wedding unfolding before her, there was an unfamiliar emotion stirring within her.

She watched as Maximus, stood tall at the front of the hall, radiating confidence and charm.

He was surrounded by his wives and children, a picture of familial bliss.

Irene couldn't help but feel a pang of longing deep within her.

The lavish decorations, the joyful laughter, and the collective celebration of love only served to magnify her desires.

She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to stand by Maximus' side.

...

As the wedding progressed, Maximus' gaze occasionally shifted toward Irene, a member of the Emberwood family.

Irene caught his attention as he couldn't help but notice a flicker of envy in her eyes.

As the wedding festivities continued, Maximus allowed himself to be fully present in the moment, ensuring that Rose and Angeline felt cherished and loved.

...

Maximus sat in the center of a vast chamber, surrounded by ancient runes and a mystical Array.

Rays of soft sunlight filtered through stained glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of colors upon the polished stone floor.

With a serene expression on his face, Maximus closed his eyes and began to enter a state of meditation.

The air grew turbulent, aware of the immense energy that was about to be unleashed.

Maximus focused his thoughts on the divine principles woven in the air.

He invoked sacred mantras, resonating with vibrations echoing within the chamber.

As he chanted, his body became enveloped in a shimmering aura of ethereal light, pulsating with the energy of the universe.

With each passing moment, Maximus felt his consciousness closer to that divine.

As he continued his meditation, Maximus began to perceive the intricate threads of arcane knowledge that bound the world together.
