Prologue

Imperial Year 1287, February.

Abner Territory.

“This is the final agenda item for today. It’s a petition from the Evehill region at the southeastern edge of the territory….”

The expression of the one who received the envelope became peculiar.

“A local orphanage. How did this even reach me?”

Petitions sent from orphanages were usually under the jurisdiction of local vassals in each region.

Cases where they reached the main castle were not just rare—they were nonexistent.

Everyone knew that the lord’s position was far from idle.

“It seems to be because of the seal stamped on the envelope.”

His gaze slowly swept over the envelope.

The shape of the seal made from melted blue wax was a lion, the symbol of the Abner Duchy.

That part was fine.

Those who used lions as their seal were abundant throughout the territory.

So what caught his attention were the two swords crossed below it.

More precisely, what was faintly engraved on the blade….

‘Altus Kraum.’

An ancient word meaning ‘noble secret.’

“This came from an orphanage?”

The lord picked up a letter knife.

The meaning of the seal was by no means light.

A seal engraved with ancient words was something given secretly only to vassals or subordinates he could trust.

Moreover, this seal wasn’t even one he had personally bestowed.

“Not only did they crudely imitate a confidential seal, but they sent it directly to the main castle.”

The metal slipped between the seal and paper.

Soon, a single thin piece of parchment emerged.

To the most powerful master of Abner who protects the Taranta Empire,

Sharon Michaeliann Abner.

It was a letter that began with very polite greetings.

I’m Annellia from Evehill Orphanage.

I’m four years old, and I’m a genius.

I’m confident in magic and pharmacy!

I think I can help the Abner Duchy with these skills.

The problem was that the handwriting was crooked, as if written by a three or four-year-old child.
