Features: Since the ceremony ended, almost all members of the Martel family had left the place that originally belonged to them. Sesburg was suddenly left with a large number of vacant positions, which had been firmly held by the Martel family. With positions available, of course, someone had to fill them. The few aristocratic families left in Sesburg tacitly divided these vacancies among themselves. Baron Lonna, though not a member of these aristocratic families, was no fool—none of those who held power in Sesburg could fail to see the relationship between Baron Lonna, Reb and the Hayde family. Of course, a spot in the good positions had to be reserved for Baron Lonna. However, accustomed to a leisurely life, Baron Lonna was no longer particularly interested in high-ranking positions that required constant busywork. Therefore, he declined the posts with great authority but accepted the title of Financial Advisor. Since becoming an official, he naturally had to reside in Sesburg, leaving the small cottage in Bate Forest, filled with happy yet humble memories, vacant. Baron Lonna had no intention of letting the villa fall into disrepair. Beyond sentimental reasons, he had never forgotten the signatures of the three great figures, nor the deed of sale—though seemingly unremarkable, it was utterly astonishing. Moreover, the statue embedded in the wall left an indelible impression on many. Such a villa, steeped in mystery and history, could not be allowed to fall into ruin. Thus, the villa was entrusted to the son of the old steward, who maintained everything in its original state. The son of the old steward knew Reb intimately and had no trouble carrying out any of his instructions.
After returning from the laboratory, Reb was overjoyed for three days. However, the days that followed were quite troublesome. As Master Masek had once said, creating the magic mirror was indeed a bit too difficult for him. Not to mention other things, simply obtaining the glass was not easy. The glass required for the magic mirror demanded extremely high purity and had to be evenly infused with several rare metal powders. Although Master Masek had explained every step and key detail of the process in detail, following the methods described in the books was not an easy task. Books could not possibly record every detail, and Reb’s previous magical experiments—such as refining hallucinogenic powder—provided far too little experience.
For this reason, Reb racked his brain. Fortunately, he was now the heir to the lordship. As long as the King’s decree of recognition came, he would become the legitimate lord of Sesburg. Although the heir to the lordship was not a true lord and lacked the same prestige, even becoming a lord did not guarantee he could do as he pleased. But Reb was different. Who would willingly offend a mage?
