"She said she was going to part with Gerome, my dear! Do you know what? She said it so haughtily!" Effie rested her head on Aelark's chest. They walked side by side.
Effie had often complained to Aelark about Eleonora. Both of them disliked the Lucsor family's haughty existence.
The Lucsor family's glory had been gone for generations. The last wizard was probably around 100 years ago and had an accident and died young. Fortunately, his successor has been born since then. However, none of Lucsor's descendants can use magic anymore. In today's peaceful era, the existence of magic is almost unnecessary.
With the past glory of her ancestors, Eleonora and her parents enjoyed all that hereditary wealth. Eleonora's family was even more respected by the royal people than the king's own family. That was why when Effie said that she wanted her son to become king, Aelark immediately betrothed Gerome to Eleonora Lucsor.
