Enya was bought from the slave market; she served both as his personal maid and his deadly guard.
In the original storyline, after Ansu was sacrificed by the cultists, it was Enya who found the hidden lair of the cult, slaughtered them, chopped their bodies into pieces, and then, the maid Miss chose to commit suicide.
Ansu was not discriminated against by his family, nor was he ever looked down upon by the servants.
He had no tragic experiences as a child, nor a sad and sorrowful childhood.
Nor did he live in an abandoned gray tower.
He was not under house arrest either.
All this was performed for the little saintess to see.
Just like in talent shows, contestants show how miserable they are.
He was just an ordinary rich second generation.
But the rich second generation also has its own troubles.
After his mother died in childbirth, his father, Count Karlo, a romantic at heart, had no plans to remarry, so this orphan became the only heir to the Morningstar family.
And the reason Count Karlo didn’t want him to study magic was simple:
If you're busy studying every day, who's going to inherit this massive family business?
Your dark talent is born for managing the treasury!
The Morningstar family was a newly risen one. Count Karlo used to be a simple soldier, outstanding in battle, earned military achievements, was granted land, and discovered the largest gold mine on the border. Thus, he transformed overnight into a newly rich man.
His territory kept expanding, and his titles kept rising.
However, his temperament had yet to catch up with his title, so his way of educating his child was particularly straightforward.
If reality allowed, Ansu also wished to be a simple rich second generation, but the plot forced him to strive hard.
Ten years later, the special instance "Fall from the Abyss" opened, with the abyss falling from beyond the border and invading reality.
The first frontier family to be wiped out was the Morningstar family.

To protect his family's gold mine, he had to become a hardworking rich second generation.
"Master."
Enya's snow-like eyes gazed at Ansu as she said,
"The lord of the house has returned. He hopes you can explain clearly about the matter of you talking back to him and running away from home a week ago."
"Old dad wants to settle accounts with me?" Ansu felt a headache coming on.
"No, on the contrary, he is very satisfied."
Enya coughed lightly, repeating Count Karlo's words in a cold tone, vividly,
"He said, 'This kid finally has the spirit I had back in the day! So obedient at such a young age, not at all like a noble’s child!'"
This old man's imagination of noble children is a bit too poor...
Ansu sighed helplessly, put down his book, "Take me to him."
Passing through the corridor, walking out along the alley planted with windmill daisies, one could see a European-style mansion. Entering the mansion and going up to the third floor, they reached Count Karlo's living room.
It was a luxuriously decorated living room.
The pale blue curtains flowed with the afternoon sun, and the mahogany furniture was bathed in a faint fragrance by the sunlight.
Count Karlo sat behind his study, his face stern, his eyes sharp as a hawk's.
"You say you want to join the Glorious Church?"
Count Karlo's face did not look good. He sarcastically said to Ansu,
"With you?"
Count Karlo was originally quite happy, thinking that his child had finally achieved something, daring to run away from home at such a young age, truly spirited, but he didn't expect Ansu to be too spirited, rebellious enough to want to join the church.
Running away from home, Karlo understood and supported, but joining a religious order, Karlo was furious.
Letting you run away from home is not letting you become a monk!
"Do you know the rules of the Glorious Church?"
Count Karlo calmed down his anger a bit and said to Ansu,
"Once you become a saint, all secular things are unrelated to you."
"I understand." Ansu nodded solemnly,
"Father, I am also determined to dedicate my life to the Holy Light, and I have already obtained a testing slot."
Count Karlo's face darkened instantly.
It must have been that nun's fault from earlier.
Truly a misjudgment in choosing friends.
His well-to-do prodigal son, led astray by these bad influences, wants to dedicate his life to that nonsense Holy Light!
Does Count Karlo not understand his own son's situation?
Talent in the light aspect is almost zero; to put it bluntly, a complete idiot when it comes to the Holy Light.
This nun seducing him to join the church, even to take that so-called entrance test, failing once, twice, thrice, four times, wasting his prime youth on exams, isn't this delaying him?
The neighbor's viscount's child can already flirt with women, while his own child is stuck doing exams every day. When can Count Karlo expect to hold a grandson?
"Ansu... we all understand your situation,"
He decided to have a serious talk with his son,
"Your talent does not lie in the Holy Light... Our family does not lack mages, I know, you have grievances, but it's not that I don't support your dreams, it's that we have to face reality."
"Actually, managing the gold mine is not so bad."
Karlo spoke in a negotiating tone,
"If you really don't want to, you can go manage the silver mine..."
"Do you know how difficult the Glorious Church's entrance test is?"
Seeing Ansu still unmoved, Count Karlo glanced at Enya standing by, "Enya, you tell me, do you think your master can pass the test? With your master's level?"
"No." She said without hesitation, bluntly, "The master is a waste."
After a moment, Enya thought and added,
"But I can go and assassinate the other candidates, then he could pass."
...Ansu observed the maid Miss's expression, her amber eyes calm as an autumn lake, her words about killing all the other candidates didn't seem like a joke.
How are you more extreme than me...?
Ansu felt a headache again.
It seems, this whole family looks down on me.
They all think Ansu can't make it ashore.
Indeed, with the original owner's talent, passing the church's entrance test was simply a pipe dream.
The church's entrance ceremony is divided into two scoring processes,
One is the cultural exam.
And the original owner has always been ignorant, unable to pass the cultural test.
The second is the aptitude test.
That is, to test magical aptitude.
With the original owner's innate rich second generation holy body, he also couldn't score passing marks on this test.
After these two preliminary tests, there's still the final test.
Actual combat.
Ansu has always been a clever person, able to read the room, understanding that Count Karlo was preventing him because he feared he would waste his youth on meaningless things.
Afraid that he would be delayed by studies from enjoying the prime years of a rich second generation.
Knowing the reason, it's easier to find the right solution.
"Father." Ansu looked directly into the Count's eyes, seriously saying, "I will only take the test once. If I fail, I will not fight a second war. I will give up my dream and return home to inherit the gold mine obediently!"
