Looking at the book in Andy's hand, Baron Townsend's face became ugly.

It was taken from the bedroom that had been dusted for a long time after he received Norrington's letter yesterday. Baron Townsend once wanted to keep this book, along with the history that caused him pain, permanently sealed in dust. in that room.

However, learning that Margaret had learned witchcraft made him change his mind.

Margaret was a cursed child, and the person who cursed her was Baron Townsend's wife, Margaret's mother, Hertz Fox.

Things started 20 years ago.

Hertz was originally a beautiful and pure noble girl. In the imperial capital of the Eagle Empire, many people liked this beautiful and pure girl, including John Townsend.

The Townsend family is a big family. John's mother is from the Roman Empire, and is also a nobleman, the daughter of a cardinal of the Roman Empire.

Although everyone received the higher education of the nobles, Townsend was better than other noble boys from an early age under the additional teaching of his mother.

He is elegant, dignified, polite, and proficient in swordsmanship. After many competitions, John Townsend defeated Hertz's other suitors and became her husband.

However, all the nightmare has just begun.

The Fox family was found to have an affair with a wizard, and even several major figures in their family were wizards!

Twenty years ago, in the Eagle Empire, the exclusion of wizards reached a very terrifying level, and this was not only because there were crazy wizards spreading viruses in towns, manipulating undead, and trying to subvert the supreme power of the royal family.

More because the great prophet Maceside predicted the death of the king.

In short, the Fox family was uprooted because of the wizarding incident.

John Townsend, who had a promising future, also lost his bright future because his wife was a member of the Fox family.

A monstrous port where pirates, merchants, and navies coexist, heralding the monstrous relationship between John Townsend and Hertz Fox.

They are husband and wife, but Hertz Fox is a descendant of a wizard, and John Townsend is a descendant of the Roman Empire's Cardinal Archbishop.

Despite this, John Townsend still loved Hertz very much. She was willing to leave the imperial capital and the family for her, and was willing to give up her title and become an ordinary baron.

It was only when Margaret was born that everything changed.

Townsend discovered that the woman he had lived with for two years, this elegant and noble woman, turned out to be a witch.

Hertz got a rundown warehouse outside the manor, with an evil dark basement underneath. She was going to be there, enlightening her daughter Margaret.

Hertz hopes to take revenge. Her family was captured by the royal family, burned on the street, and burned alive. Therefore, she hopes to cultivate a powerful wizard who can overthrow the rule of the Flying Eagle Royal Family.

Overthrow the tyrannical ruler and leave a way for the wizard to live.

However, when the ceremony was going on, a strong wave of darkness awakened Townsend who was sleeping. Townsend found that his wife was missing, so he followed the power of darkness to the basement.

All the truth was brought to the table without any disguise.

Hertz has been a witch since she was a child. She was able to attract so many people's love because of witchcraft. The reason why she chose John Townsend was also because of the strength of the Townsend family.

It's just a pity that after the Fox family was exposed, John Townsend was also affected.

If it was just that, Baron Townsend wouldn't do anything. He knew from the beginning that Hertz Fox was a wizard, because he loved this woman, and even if she was an evil witch, he was willing to be with her.

Baron Townsend disrupted the ceremony and held Margaret, who was frightened and crying, in his arms. He persuaded Hertz to let her forget her identity, stay away from evil witchcraft, and be an ordinary noble lady .

Hertz rejected Townsend.

The witchcraft of the Fox family came from an ancient human skin, which was in a treasure chest salvaged by an old captain in the central sea. The people of the Fox family got the treasure chest and also got the witchcraft.

Soul witchcraft from the mysterious Aztec civilization in the central sea area, but the Fox family did not get it completely, so there are certain side effects.

Hertz also has a second personality, and when she witnesses all her family struggling to be burned to death in the flames, her second personality faintly becomes the main personality.

However, because of Baron Townsend's comfort and care, Hertz's second personality was hidden again~lightnovelpub.net~ has not been shown.

Until then-

In order to disrupt the ritual, Baron Townsend used the divine power inherited from his mother to defeat Hertz.

Only then did Hertz know that John Townsend, who had been with him all along, turned out to be a member of the Demon Hunter.

Demon hunters are a special team of the Eagle Empire that hunts wizards.

In fact, it was precisely because of Townsend's identity, and because Baron Townsend concealed Hertz's identity, that Hertz was not burned together.

However, Hertz didn't care, her only thought was that Townsend deceived him, he was a witcher!

Her family might be captured by Townsend and tied to the gallows.

Hertz went crazy, the second personality completely took over her body, and she turned into a crazy witch.

Hertz cursed Margaret, leaving a curse mark on her, and the second personality in the mark would constantly change Margaret, making her an evil witch who just wanted revenge.

Hertz also cursed Townsend and gradually sealed his divine power. Townsend has not recovered his strength for so many years because he is unwilling to face it.

It was not until Margaret was kidnapped that Townsend sought help from the family and regained his strength, but he had not been able to find out about Zack for the past year.

Hertz Fox, however, was unable to escape. She was caught by the painful Baron Townsend and handed over to the Empire.

Because in the past two years, Hertz has killed many innocent people for the sake of his soul.

In the end, Hertz was sentenced to the stake and burned alive in the public eye.

Her body and filthy soul were finally purified in the flames.

...

Baron Townsend stroked the cover of the book and looked at the portrait of Hertz with a nostalgic smile.
