After all, the Leo family is an old noble family of the Dawn Empire, and Andorra's current capabilities do not allow it to take open action against them. However, when he completely takes over the Second Prince's power, the situation will be completely different.

Now, his plan is to let the Ancient God Cult select those descendants of the God of War who have no influence at all to pave the way for future actions.

At the same time, Angelica Rudeus gradually woke up from her bed. She shook her dizzy head slightly, as if she had forgotten something.

Soon, she realized where she was and jumped out of bed in panic. Amid the exclamations of the maids, she hurried to the stairs.

At this time, Duke Rudeus, Angelica's father, was sitting on the sofa, carefully looking through the documents in his hands. Seeing his daughter rushing downstairs in a panic, he was a little surprised and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Angelica gasped and quickly asked how she got home. When Duke Rudeus heard his daughter's question, he immediately showed an angry look on his face: "How dare you say that? You run outside every day, how can you be a noble girl! You were sent back by the knights sent by His Highness Andorra! What did you do to make the Second Prince send you back? Did you not anger him?"

"The Second Prince? Andorra?" Angelica shook her head. She didn't have much memory of the Second Prince. At this moment, what happened in the alley suddenly flashed through her mind, and the scene of Ed casting the arrow of light was vivid in her mind.

She was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to say to her father: "Father, I want to learn magic."

Duke Rudeus was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He naturally knew that his daughter, Angelica, had never liked studying since she was a child. Although she knew some basic magic, she had never shown any real passion for magic.

Why did you suddenly ask to learn magic today? This was simply unbelievable to him.

"What did you say?" He frowned slightly, trying to find the answer from his daughter's eyes. "Do you really want to learn magic?"

Ed's face flashed through Angelica's mind. She thought of how powerless she felt in the face of the arrows of light condensed by Ed. She felt fear and awe of a servant, which hurt her self-esteem.

"I must learn magic! I must!"

Duke Rudeus' heart was shaken. He looked at his daughter's serious expression and seemed to hear an unprecedented determination in her voice.

Three years later——

The flying snow lightly fell on the back mountain, covering the earth and giving the whole world a layer of white coat. Ed stood in front of a tall tree, axe in hand, ready to start a day's work.

The light snow brought a hint of coolness to the air. He took a deep breath, feeling the flow of magic power in his body, which gradually gathered on the axe in his hand. As magic power was injected, a layer of golden light flashed on the surface of the axe, as if responding to his inner desire.

Ed's eyes narrowed slightly, and he concentrated his energy. He swung the axe in his hand and chopped it down suddenly, aiming directly at the thick tree in front of him. With a "crack" sound, the trees broke and made a dull sound when they fell to the ground. Snowflakes danced in the air, as if cheering for this spectacular scene. He exhaled a breath, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment, and sorted the chopped trees into firewood, preparing to carry them back home.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: a luxurious carriage was parked quietly beside the tree in front of the door, and the body of the carriage was shining with dazzling luster. It was obviously not an ordinary carriage. Ed was full of doubts. Who was the visitor?

When he walked in, he saw his parents talking to a burly, well-dressed butler. The butler stood up in surprise when he saw Ed coming back, and looked him up and down as if he was evaluating a precious commodity.

After taking a look at the child, he nodded slightly and said to Adrian and his wife, "Okay, I am very satisfied with this child. It is hard to imagine that a family like yours can raise a child who can read."

Ed was confused and puzzled. The butler continued, "I have inquired about you. I heard that you are willing to study and are very filial. You also have a brother who is participating in knight training."

This made Ed even more confused, not understanding why he was attracting so much attention.

"I am Langman, the steward of Baron Famion." He continued, "At your father's request, I have found you a job organizing library files. There are about 20,000 books in our baron's library. What you have to do is to classify and organize them within the two years I hire you. Of course, these books are confidential. If they are leaked, the consequences will be at your own risk."

Ed instantly understood the butler's subtext and felt a surge of excitement in his heart. If he could enter the library of the nobles, he would be able to learn a lot about magic. This was the opportunity he had always dreamed of.

However, Butler Langman warned again in a cold tone: "Remember, if it is leaked, not only will you pay the price, but your family will not be spared. So please think carefully before deciding whether to accept it."

"Of course, this job will pay you enough, even enough to support your poor family for the rest of their lives." There was temptation in Langman's words, but the coldness that followed made Ed feel uneasy.

When Adrian heard this, he said angrily, "Do you think I did this for the money you gave me? I just want my son to pursue his dream!"

Langman, however, was dismissive and sneered, "What dreams can a child of a hunter family have? Even if he has dreams, without opportunities and channels, he will never be able to make a name for himself. If it wasn't for money, why would you let your son do such a 'dangerous' job? You have to know that you begged me desperately!"

The old hunter Adrian was speechless in the face of such ridicule. His "poor" knowledge made it impossible for him to refute with fancy words. The reality before him made him feel extremely depressed.

Seeing his silence, Butler Langman continued to sneer, "You want your son to realize his dream? Oh, what have you done for him as a father so far? You are just taking this opportunity to make a lame excuse for the money! You should know that many people are vying for this job."

The old hunter Adrian was shocked when he heard this. He recalled the little things he had done with his youngest son, and mixed emotions surged in his heart. Ed and Ace have shown extraordinary talents since childhood. They are smart and clever, and it seems that they are destined not to be confined to this barren forest.

He couldn't help but wonder whether his two sons were descendants of nobility.
