Leonis's gaze penetrated the palace as it landed on the Transcendence Holy Tree that ascended into the sky. His eyes revealed a nostalgic look.
Leonis's mother was an aristocrat in Transcendence, but for some baffling reason, she fell in love with a lion-headed man, to the point of giving birth to him, against all opposition.
The Transcendents' racial discrimination was deeply rooted. In their minds, a Transcendent beggar was of even greater nobility than the kings of other races.
It was conceivable how terrible the repercussions Leonis's mother had faced. She was expelled from her family, going from an aristocrat to a lowly civilian. Leonis's father could not withstand the external pressure and left, abandoning the helpless mother and son to fend for themselves.
Therefore, Leonis's life was divided into two parts. The second half was obviously the brilliant moment as king, while the first half was dark and bitter, unimaginable to the common person.
