A tragic story.
A life entirely negative, utterly hopeless, seemingly irrational yet ubiquitous.
The aristocracy of Valtorre held vast lands and assets, and their children received excellent education from an early age. Even without magical talent, they could rely on privilege to enter Similan Academy and access the most advanced knowledge and theories. In public, they were all elegantly dressed, observing proper etiquette, yet beneath the glamorous surface lay countless indulgent and corrupt secrets.
For instance, Frank, the son of the Minister of Internal Affairs, who had a fondness for hunting down young and naive girls, subjecting them to sexual abuse. His hands were stained with the blood of many innocents.
Or Mrs. Derek, though a victim of her family's dogma, a flower corrupted in a greenhouse. She could still dispose of certain lowly mistresses, sending them to the stake on baseless charges.
Or Lyman...
What good was Lyman?
