With Cathy returning to the Imperial City of Shurima, Zelas is arranged by Cathy as a friend to work in her noble mansion.

Everything in the Imperial City was more luxurious than Zelas, who worked as a slave on a farm in the backwoods, and although he was often ridiculed as a slave by others in the mansion, he was grateful to Cathy for giving him such a chance to live in the Imperial City.

And Cathy, as the eldest lady, will often reprimand those who look down on Zelas, and comfort Zelas countless times that in her eyes, he is not a slave, but her best friend.

In order to repay the kind Cathy, Zelas decides to travel to Valoran to study magic and help Cathy's family become the most prominent family in the Imperial City outside of the royal family.

But at only fifteen years old, Zelas is not good at communicating with girls, and he only tells Cathy that he wants to travel the world and learn magic.

And Cathy, after learning that Zelas wanted to travel, also fully supported him.

However, Shurima's slaves have a mark on their bodies, and they cannot leave Shurima without the guidance of their masters or special reasons.

To solve this problem, Cathy gives Zelas the token her father gave her to show her status as a magnate.

Seeing that the girl in front of him was so good to him, Zelas, who was young and ignorant, fell in love. But thinking of Cathy's identity, he still didn't confess to the girl he had a crush on when he left.

……

The picture alluded to by Jingyue Lake began to change again under the ripples, and Lulu took advantage of the gap to shake Ye Feng's arm. Secretly glancing at Zelas in the form of energy, she muttered without thinking: "Brother Ye Feng, the stinky monster used to be very good, why is it so bad now?"

"Look down and you'll see." It was rare that Ye Feng did not show a relaxed expression of ridicule or indifference, but instead remembered Elise because of the experience of looking at Zelas.

And Zelas, who was imprisoned by the goddess Acacia, saw that the goddess Acacia showed no signs of stopping, and he didn't want to be snooped on for more secrets, he said sharply: "Enough!"

Willow eyebrows froze, and the goddess Acacia looked at Zelath with some disgust. The word "quiet" came out of her mouth again, and Zelas was stripped of her voice.

Ye Feng on the side couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene. It's the same god, why can the goddess Acacia make Zelas unable to move with a single word? Could it be that after becoming a god, can the strength continue to rise indefinitely? How is the realm after God defined?

A series of questions appeared in his mind, and Ye Feng fell into deep thought. At this time, the picture of Mirror Moon Lake changed, and Zelas, who had been trained for three years, returned to the Imperial City of Shurima.

But when he returned, he learned that Cathy's family had been targeted by a rival family half a year ago and was finally wiped out.

Originally, they could have relied on the token given to their family by the previous emperor to exit the battle of the Imperial City family safely, but it is rumored that the token was lost by Cathy, so no royal family stood up to support them.

Zelas, who learned the news, was struck by a bolt from the blue, believing that he was responsible for the destruction of Cathy's family, and lost his soul for several days.

Seeing this, Lulu, who was overflowing with sympathy, couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to the destruction of Cathy's family. She whispered to Ye Feng: "Brother Ye Feng, those people are good or bad, that sister is obviously so kind!"

"Yes......" coping absentmindedly, seeing that Ye Feng here felt sorry for the kind Cathy and sympathized with Zelas.

No matter how bad Zelas is now, he must have blamed himself deeply for Cathy's death at that time.

Wanting to hear Sivir's opinion, Ye Feng poked Sivir's arm lightly with his elbow and asked, "What do you think, Sivir?"

Sivir, who could see the god on the side, looked stunned for a moment, then frowned and groaned for a while, and then slowly spoke: "This question is a bit complicated, and it is inconvenient for me to answer."

After speaking, regardless of the confused expression of Ye Feng beside her, Xavier continued to focus her attention on the mirror image of the lake.

Seeing that Sivir refused to say more, Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders stupidly, and continued to look at the lake, wanting to see what happened to Zelas next.

Returning to the image of the lake, Zelas appears in front of a beautifully decorated building in the Imperial City of Shurima.

Just as he was about to enter the building through the main entrance, he was stopped by the soldiers at the door.

Glancing disdainfully at the peculiar lines on Zelas's face, the soldier said impatiently, "A slave who also wants to enter the Imperial Library? Don't get out of here! ”

In the face of the soldiers' ridicule, Zelas, who had always wanted to get rid of his slave status, felt a burst of fire in his heart. He wanted to use the magic he had learned from his travels in Valoran to teach the soldier in front of him a lesson, but he held back.

Holding back the anger in his heart, he showed the token that Cathy had given him, and Zelas was let go by the soldiers. However, the soldier did not forget to sneer at Zelas when he let him go: "The slave of the nobility is not the same as a lowly slave of the upper class!"

Ignoring the soldiers' taunts, Zelas walked into the Imperial Library and picked out some of his favorite books to study.

Having never had the opportunity to read before, Zelas had always longed to read. Now that he has the opportunity to enter the Imperial Library, he naturally wants to fulfill his wish as a child.

And this opportunity was bought by the lives of Cathy's family, and Zelas studied books with all his heart, hoping to be favored by Shurima by decent bigwigs, and then display his talents.

He believed that if someone appreciated him, he would be able to get rid of slavery!

For more than a month, Zelas was almost immersed in the Imperial Library. History, politics, astronomy, geography, etiquette, military strategy, etc., Zelas learned a lot in this month or so.

And on a serendipitous morning, Zelas ushered in a turning point in his life.

He walked into the Imperial Library as usual under the disdainful gaze of the soldiers, and then picked up a book in a quiet corner on the top floor of the Imperial Library and read it.

Engrossed in his studies, Zelas didn't notice that he caught the attention of a handsome man dressed in royal attire.

The man walked towards him step by step, then stopped in front of him. Sensing that someone was in front of him, Zelas put down the book in his hand in confusion.

The royal man politely smiled at Zelas, "Do you like watching The Lost Acacia too?"

As soon as Zelas saw that he was masculine and dressed in luxurious royal clothes, he knew that the man in front of him was a member of the royal family.

Shurima's royal family is an incomparably noble existence in the hearts of Zelas since childhood. The first time he came into direct contact with a member of the royal family, he looked a little anxious and didn't know how to reply.

Noticing that Zelas, who raised his head, showed the slave lines on his face, the royal man did not show disdain. He smiled understandingly, "My name is Azir, you don't have to be nervous in front of me, and I like to watch "The Lost Acacia", can I sit down?"

With that, Azir pointed to the seat next to Zeros and asked for Zeroas' opinion.

Zeroth, who looked cramped, was thinking about how to be calm in front of Azir and make a good impression on him, but the more he thought about it, the more he spoke.

"When...... Of course! ”
