Hearing Zerk’s words, Duke Henley's face turned ugly. He, the esteemed Duke of Peloros, sired such a despicable child . Although nulls were rare, they weren’t capable of anything except taking and absorbing mana. Even if he kept the child, her ability to absorb mana would grow as she grows. This meant that even keeping simple magic tools like light tools operating in his home would become difficult. Not only that, his house was known for birthing only those of the enhancer class. Having this child grow up in this castle would lower his prestige as well as his house’s. He couldn’t allow such a thing to happen.

“ You there,” he said to a maid standing up against the wall.

“ I’m at your service, milord,” the maid said hurriedly kneeling on the floor

“Take this child and put her on the doorstep of a commoner family. I don’t care which one just get her out of my sight.”

“Brother” screeched Zerk. “That’s going way too far. She may be null but she is still a member of our house”

Zerk was surprised. Surely his brother wasn’t so cold-hearted. Zerk knew he wouldn’t take the news of her being a null well. But to disown her and try to throw her out of the family.

Duke Heinley, who clearly didn’t like his so-called brother defying him, raised an eyebrow.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

“ Surely even you know that our family’s prestige could be completely ruined if this news got out”

Of course, Zerk knew. His family has had only enhancer-class children for decades.

“But. “ Zerk began.

“There are no buts” Duke Heinley interrupted. "I, as the head of this family, will make the call. You as an outsider have no right to question me. Now if you will, hurry up and test the other child. Surely she can’t be as useless as her sister”

Zerk did as instructed, walking over to where the second child lay and placing the evaluating tool on her head. Unlike the other child, she resembled her father. She had purple eyes and black hair. She also had a heart birthmark under her eye like her mother. The tool turned red and once again he lifted the tool off her head and read the contents.

Class: Enhancer

Magic capability: Unknown

“ Her class is Enhancer and like her sister her magic capability is unknown”

“ I see. It seems she inherited more than just her looks from me” he said clearly pleased with the results.

“ I will make her into a fine enhancer. The best one this family . . .no this world has ever seen”

“ Now about this other child,” he said while looking at the baby that looked like an exact replica of her mother.

“As I said before, she will be taken to a random commoner family. She will have no ties to this family henceforth. Get her out of my sight”

Emily, who was still kneeling down before her master, got up and picked up the bundled-up baby. Once she picked her up, she hurriedly left the room and went straight towards the exit of the mansion.
