After being banished, to be honest, Mavis and her husband’s life wasn’t that bad.
They bought a house in the suburbs, spending their peaceful days together.
While here, Mavis didn’t have to worry about the burdens of being a princess of the dragon race.
Here, she was just a gentle wife.
Oh, and most importantly, they had a child together.
The boy’s name was Durin.
A simple and cute name, accurately describing their child.
That was the happiest time for Mavis.
...But, all fun must come to an end.
It was a surprise attack.
That was why Mavis, Durin, and her husband could not have foreseen it.
The masterminds were of course her former enemies.
And the enemies of the Astrea royal family.
The fire flared up fiercely, as if it wanted to swallow the three of them.
With a body covered in blood and wounds, her husband tiredly called out her name.
Mavis replied, touching his cheek, tears streaming down her beautiful face.
It was all her fault.
If that day, Mavis had not been so stubborn in marrying him, and then being banished, then perhaps things would not have turned out this way.

"...I had successfully created a portal to another world..."
Sensing that something was wrong, Durin hugged his father’s body tightly, then cried miserably.
"What are you going to do?"
Mavis looked seriously into her husband’s desperate eyes.
Before, it had always been shining with joy, yet now, everything had changed.
"...That portal... is only enough for two people to pass through."
"In that case, you and Durin go! I will stay here!"
"No, I will stay here, you and Durin go."
Mavis interrupted, her voice filled with tragedy:
"No! We are a family!"
"Because we are a family, Mavis! I can’t let you and Durin die! You two are the light of my life! The most important people to me!"
Durin’s cries grew even louder.
It was obvious that the boy didn’t want to leave his father.
But that was impossible.
He then adjusted his emotions, and forced a gentle smile.
"Durin, my son... I really cherish the days I spent with you."
Durin’s fingers were torn away from the man’s body one by one.
"And Mavis... you are my everything, really. Without you, I wouldn’t know how to live."
"..." Mavis pursed her lips.
More tears rolled down her cheeks.
"...Live well, both of you. And please protect Durin, our son, Mavis."
At this moment, he felt relieved.
Because at least, the two people he loved the most would still be able to live on.
The next moment, Mavis and Durin were pushed into that portal.
And the last thing they saw was his face, despite being in pain, still trying to smile.
That was what Mavis hated about this world.
Her husband was a genius, but he was not recognized by anyone.
Because of his lowly background.
Admiring that man’s talent and strength, Mavis fell in love with him.
She had sworn that no matter what happened, she would always protect her man.
But what about the result?
He was the one who protected Mavis.
Ingredients for resurrecting the Demon King:
A dragon’s tears of sorrow.
Everything Kael did from the beginning had its reasons.
Approaching Mavis, and taking advantage of her compassion.
Becoming close to Durin, trying to gain the trust of the mother and her son.
And then, putting drugs in their food, trying to make Mavis’s power weaken day by day.
And today, was the day he reaped the rewards.
Finally, after more than 20 minutes of being unconscious, Mavis slowly opened her eyes again.
And the first sight she saw was Kael sitting on a chảir with an expressionless face, and on his lap was the unconscious Durin.
"...You... lied to me all along, Kael?"
Mavis was no fool, so she understood what all this meant.
Her voice sounded normal, but behind it was a madness that could erupt at any moment.
Kael replied, his voice cold, just like the expression he was wearing.
Her heart was beating wildly, as if threatening to jump out of her chest at any moment.
At this moment, all of Mavis’s feelings and sympathy for Kael had been replaced.
By anger, and the desire to kill.
Her eyes turned crimson, looking both disgusting and terrifying.
Ignoring all that, Kael calmly stood up, and took Durin towards Mavis.
The way he held the boy was like he was holding a piece of merchandise.
"Let go of my son, you son of a bitch!"
But then stopped when she realized a terrible truth.
"So you finally realized? That you don’t have any more power?"
Kael stopped when he was only 2 meters away from her.
"If we really fought, it would be obvious that I would be the loser. So, this is the only way I can deal with you."
The medicine created by Seraphina was truly amazing.
It really could suppress a dragon in less than 2 weeks.
"...Well, it seems I’ve wasted too much time."
"Let go of my son, you piece of shit! You demon! You monster!"
Even though she knew it was hopeless, Mavis still tried to cling to a glimmer of hope that didn’t exist.
She struggled, but it was nothing compared to the chains that were holding her captive.
Mavis really was like a mad dog.
Would any mother react ?
Kael muttered to himself.
Then, he held the boy up in front of her, so that she could witness the scene that was about to come.
A sword appeared in his hand.
"Please... stop... Please..."
Realizing that cursing was useless, Mavis could only beg.
But nothing could move Kael.
The moment he decided to put the medicine in the soup, the end of everything was already decided.
Just like that, cold and inhuman, the tip of the sword pierced through Durin’s chest.
Kael pursed his lips, his sorrowful eyes hidden by his bangs.
Giving Durin a gentle death was the last thing he could do for the boy.
Despairing and resentful, Mavis screamed.
At that moment, something inside her shattered completely, unable to be restored to its original state.
As a natural reaction, Mavis began to cry.
But, those were not normal tears.
They were tears of blood.
They were Tears of the Fallen.
