Adelyn Augustride Valiana was a girl that had everything from a young age.
Talent, beauty, a good family, a huge wealth. She got everything.
She was a princess of a country. People have always praised her, bowed their heads to her, and some even worshipped her.
When it came to the succession of the throne, she refused it, saying that she wasn't interested in the throne; however, that was a lie. She and her brother decided to ally themselves with the future strongest person in the country.
The genius heir of Augustride Dukedom, who became a 4-star mage at the age of 14.
Austin Augustride. His reputation was so wide that, even from other countries, there were countless different marriage proposals coming to him. And, of course, the royal family couldn't afford to lose that kind of talent.
Although the Augustride family was always loyal to the Wraslugia Kingdom, she and her brother decided to bring her into their faction.
And for this purpose, the royal family sent a proposal to that time's head of the family, the father of Austin, a marriage proposal, and seeing that Duke Walchen didn't refuse it either.
Just like that, her marriage with Austin Augustride was concluded, and she went to Augustride's family as a bride.
Even though at the beginning of their married life, there were no feelings to develop between them, with time passing by together, Adelyn started connecting with Austin more and more.
The feeling of love started sprouting in her heart, and with her first child being born, those feelings got stronger.
However, that was all ruined when she learned the truth about Austin having an affair with another woman.
That woman's name, identity, and everything about her were unknown. And she couldn't stand it. The person she swore to spend her life with, the person she swore never to betray, all those things suddenly crumbled to the ruins.
And everything became something. That unknown woman, who seduced her husband and made a child with him, shamelessly left that child in their mansion like slapping her in her face.
And to add salt to her wound, her husband decided to bring the child of that woman into their life and took him as an heir for their family.
As a woman who got everything she desired and who won every fight she participated in, she never once thought she would be discarded like a concubine and left aside.
Even seeing that little child's face alone made her so mad that she couldn't stand it. She couldn't stand the fact that she lost to a woman god knows where she came from.
She didn't even think that woman was a noble, and she thought she must be a commoner or a gypsy.
And she started taking his anger out on that child, who had no mother. Even though she knew that child wasn't at fault for his parent's actions, she couldn't help it.
She couldn't stand a kid who was from lower blood in her household, so she started slowly tormenting him.
She instructed maids to give him the cold shoulder, give him used clothes, and mess up with his food and other things.
She also always said to her daughters that they should both stay away from that boy, and her bigger daughter listened well and stayed away from that hateful boy.
From time to time, she argued with Duke Austin to send him from this mansion to the academy or any other place far away from her eyes, but he always refused.
And his attitude started making a rift in their relationship. She couldn't understand why he was this important to his husband.
He would always teach him on his own and would never hire any teachers as he did for her daughters. No, he would always give special care to his son, and this made her even angrier.
And when she learned that whore's son was classless, with a smug grin, she went near his husband and questioned everything he did, only to get scoffed at.
It was like her husband was expecting something like this would happen anyway, and he didn't even get discouraged by it and kept instructing his son like he always did.
But he never gave this much attention to his daughter, even though she awakened a special class sword saint and her other daughter fairy.
So she started training her daughter alone, found the best teachers for her, and created a good environment for her daughter to develop.
With her good friend group, her daughter's development was a good one, and she was developing at a fast rate.
However, she didn't forget to bully that kid, of course. Whenever there was free time, she would always call her daughter's friends to her house and mock that boy in front of everyone.
However, suddenly, when her husband went on an outing with that hateful kid, she got the news of his husband's death. She heard he was attacked by a bunch of strong people he could fight but died in order to protect that hateful boy.
And that was when something snapped out inside of her.
The day-by-day growing frustrations she had been keeping inside her and not releasing started pouring out.
And to add fuel to the fire, there was a sudden attack on the funeral ceremony of former Duke Austin. It was like they were challenging the attire of Augustride's Dukedom, the identity of it, the power, and everything that defines the dukedom.
It was like they were mocking them.
And she couldn't stand it. If not for the nobles and the children in that place, she would have already stormed all those lunatics and would burn them alive.
However, she couldn't do that. There were still civilians or people with lower strength who wouldn't be able to protect themselves, so she held it in for the sake of her and her dukedom's reputation.
However, every self-control has limitations. She is a human as well.
The moment she heard her little daughter was being attacked and getting abducted by traitors, she couldn't stand still and dashed to the place.
And she sensed that hateful boy and her daughter getting kidnapped and getting carried by a couple of imposters.
And she couldn't hold it anymore. Those feelings of frustrations she couldn't release, that feeling of getting discarded, she decided to let it all out.
And she did it just like that.
She was always a talented fire magician. Her teachers in the academy, her special teachers, and her master in Red-Magic Tower, they were all praised her for her fast comprehension of magic.
And she let all those out in the form of explosions.
The moment she sensed them, she used 4th-rank explosion-type magic in front of them and blasted them off.
"You did well informing us, Diana. Let me take over from this point."
She said to her daughter that if not for her being informed, they would have never known something like that happened until it was too late.
And saying that, she started covering her body with fire and said.
"Let me show you what will happen to those who are messing with our Dukedom, you insolent peasants. Let me show you how to use fire. How noble fire is. Not like in a way you cowardly peasants like you have been using."
And the moment she said, she signaled the knights that were following her to take the kids out.
"Cough, cough. What? How could they know we were here? Our plan was perfect."
The imposter 1 said while coughing.
"Dirk… That bastard, he didn't say something like this would hap-"
/BOOM/ /BOOM/
"Kneel."
She said while excluding her aura of a 7-star mage.
"Now, let me show you how to make explosions."
She said and waved her hand, and with her fiery red hair standing up, she looked like a fire goddess.
/BOOM/ /CRASH/ /THUD/ "Kughk!"
There was a man falling down from the roof of a close building.
"I see; we still have some rats out there, don't we?"
"Burn for me."
/FLICK/
She said and flicked her fingers, and following her was a scene very common in Earth's World War 2.
"AAAAAH! IT HURTS! IT HURST! PLEASE STOP!"
The man just fell down to the ground and started burning and screaming.
"Now, you insolent fools who dared to attack my dukedom. Do you want to get burned alive just like him, or will you talk about who is the person holding your leash?"
She said while started approaching the imposters kneeling on the ground.
"Grr, all..."
"Hmm, what did you say? Talk with a louder voice."
She said with a commanding tone just to remind all those people who were the boss here.
"Cough, cough. You are just a bitch who thinks she is from higher blood and looks down on people. I don't fear people like you, cough. Your pride, he will crush it."
The imposter said while gritting his teeth and trying to stand his ground in front of the Aura of a 7-star mage.
"WHAT! What did you say? What did you call me?"
The moment she heard that Adelyn got fired up and almost burned that man alive but held it in.
She realized this man was trying to get her nerves just to be killed as fast as possible to not give any information.
But suddenly the man started laughing.
"HAHAHA! ALL HAIL HODUR!"
"ALL HAIL HODUR!"
/BOOM/ /BOOM/
Both imposters started shouting that, and the following was just a bunch of explosions…
