The sky presented a rare sight within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

The silverish purple moonlight suddenly dimmed, and the night sky became even deeper and darker. The stars luster that had once been hiddened by moonlight now became unusually clear and bright.

The crowd in the square was instantly in an uproar. Some of the citizens who were participating in the ceremony for the first time couldn’t help but exclaim when they saw this phenomenon.

In contrast, on the Cloud Obsidian platform in the center of the plaza, the twin moons in the sky instantly lit up.

The light of the twin moons highly restrained by the arcane ritual, gathered into a pillar of silverish purple light that blurred the stage and the crowd on it.

The dense moonlight that was almost mist-like flowed and gradually seeped into the newborn’s body, nourishing his body and soul.

At the same time, a series of inexplicable whispers echoed in the city under the night sky.

The voice was not loud, but it lasted for a long time, as if the entire Karlas was whispering the same name.

“Anvis…”

The Chief Mage took a step forward and lifted the newborn from the circular platform. He lifted the child high into the air, making him appear in front of everyone’s eyes.

The deep voice trembled with magic power and echoed in the entire square.

“Look! Your Excellency Anvis, the Chosen One of Kalas! May all the gods bless and protect him! Bless him with profound wisdom! Bless him with health and safety!”

The duke then walked to the front of the platform and smiled under the crowd’s reverent gazes. Magic amplfied words instantly spread throughout the entire square.

“In the name of Duke Karlas, I hereby announce that the celebration has officially begun!

All the residents of Kalas will have their taxes halved this year! Bread and ale will be provided for free! All mines, farms, and manors will have three days off!

“Now—Cheer and celebrate for the Empire! For Kalas! For the birth of my son!”

The crowd below the stage immediately erupted. Everyone raised their hands and cheered the newborn’s name in unison.

“Anvis! Anvis! Anvis!…”

At this moment, the silver moon was rising and the purple moon was sinking—

……

“Anvis?… Naming Ceremony?… Mine?!”

As the main character of the night, Xia Yuan, who was the center of attention, felt his vision go dark when he heard that familiar name. It was as if he had fallen into a dark pit.

The unlucky child is actually me!

Did I transmigrate into the offspring of Louis XIV before the Revolution?

I shouldn’t have jinxed myself before I transmigrated!

He turned to look at his side with a stupefied expression, as if he was hoping to find something to prove that he was just worried for nothing.

Everything he could see was shrouded in light mist. In the haze, he saw the dukes, dukes, and duchesses that appeared in his memories, as well as Anvis’s siblings.

It was like a family portrait that was filled with neat rows of white and purple.

Below the platform, countless people raised their hands and cheered Anvis’ name excitedly.

An old man dressed as a mage raised himself and stood in front of a glowing round platform. On both sides of the platform, the mages in dark blue robes were chanting strange incantations.

Accompanied by the continuous chanting, the light mist condensed by the dual-colored moonlight became even more condensed.

Xia Yuan’s body kept absorbing the light mist. He was like a thirsty traveler in a scorching desert who had suddenly discovered a refreshing spring.

He felt comfortable and cool all over. His magic aptitude, which was already very high, was rapidly increasing again.

If Xia Yuan had a status menu, he would notice that all his attributes were increasing.

“Anvis… Olivendi… no… sleepy…”

As he absorbed the stream of moonlight, Xia Yuan felt his eyelids getting heavier for some reason. Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

Before his consciousness entered the darkness, he vaguely heard a sentence mixed with amazement:

“He’s still absorbing—”

……

If possible, he really did not want to board the Olivendi clan at this time.

The times was about to change. The thousand-year-old noble families of the empire representing the old nobles would eventually be drowned and devoured by the surging tide of the new era, left behind by history.

Some background information, the Olivendi family’s decline began with a rebellion.

His eldest son, Raymond, had personally led his troops to suppress the Resistance in the territory, but he was captured instead.

After meeting a large number of new Resistance units of unknown origin : Summoners Unit.

When the grievous news came, Duke Karlos flew into a rage and personally led his army to attack. However, he was ambushed by the leader of the Resistance, who was also at the ninth rank.

The two sides were fighting on the Great Plains of Anila, northwest of Kalas Province.

It was because of this battle, did the term ‘Resistance’ appear before the world.

The battle ended with the duke’s pyrrhic victory. However, after the Resistance inflicted numerous casualities, they retreated to the north and occupied many cities centered around Rella Castle and Wind Valley City.

Soon after, the empire’s situation took a turn for the worse. The four great provinces were in chaos, and no one knew where the Resistance had recruited so many people.

At this moment, a large number of small and medium class aristocrats stood out and formed an alliance in the name of resisting the rebel army together, known as [Glory Alliance]. Many merchants announced that they would provide financial support to the alliance in exchange for protection.

During this process, some families that were on the same side as Olivendi were ambushed by unknown forces and quickly declined.

An earl and three viscounts led their families to join the Glory Alliance. The remaining few families moved to the kingdom’s federation, and the upper echelons of Karlas experienced a change in power.

When Anvis first learned of this history, he did not feel anything about it, but now that he recalled it again, all he felt was silence.

Although the historical records were not fake, they only recorded a portion of the facts selectively and ‘unintentionally’ missed some key points.

For example, the forces that backed the Resistance.

……

For the next half a year, Xia Yuan remained in a deep sleep. During this time, a large number of memory fragments appeared, completely replenishing past Anvis’ memories from the day before his coming-of-age ceremony.

Half a year later, when he woke up again, he finally saw the familiar gold-framed full-length mirror.

Through the mirror, Xia Yuan could see his current situation.

The beautiful Duchess hugged herself and stood in front of the gold-framed full-length mirror. She looked at the child in her arms with a gentle smile on her face. Her purple crystal-like beautiful eyes were filled with love.

Xia Yuan quietly sized up his new body, his clear blue eyes moving slightly.

Although he had seen it many times in his memory, this was the first time he saw his own appearance in reality.

Xia Yuan?

Anvis?

He stared at the reflection in the mirror with mixed feelings and recalled the scenes in his memory. He was silent for a moment, and just like the scene in the first memory fragment, he slowly reached out his small, white hand.

The reflection moved in sync with him. As the blonde woman smiled and watched, the distance between the two toddlers inside and outside the mirror gradually shortened.

Finally, through the mirror, the two hands gently overlapped.

For a moment, the world seemed to freeze—

‘ Does it matter?’

The small figure in the mirror suddenly laughed.

I will live on, no matter what!

Xia Yuan grinned and greeted himself silently in the mirror when he heard the Duchess’s gentle voice.

“Hello,Anvis—”
