The Tales of Draconic Warlock

She is more interested in vanity, rather than true power. The only reason why she was able to enter the academy was because of her family. Guards followed her to help her gain EXP and reach peak Tier-0. After that, she took more than half a year to complete the Tier-1 mission.

She was carried most of the way and shouldn't be compared to the warrior known as Serenna at all but people are people.

Serenna was the most beautiful woman that the Siren family had seen in the last three centuries. So anyone who looks good would be automatically compared to her. This trend would most likely continue until someone who was more charming and beautiful than Serenna appeared.

Wellna heard that Elisha had a marriage contract with Magnus from the Frostwolf family. Apparently, Elisha's family was in dire need and only the Frostwolf family helped them at that time, almost pulling them out of existence.

The disaster almost ended the glorious Siren family. Except for Elisha's father and one of her uncles, no one else in the Siren family survived.

For their survival, Elisha was tied to Magnus.

Lady Wellna hated everything about this marriage contract.

Elisha looked like Serenna and Magnus is named after the son of Serenna. More than that Magnus is from the Frostwolf family. There is no way that she would let this marriage happen. She wanted to break the marriage and at the same time make Frostwolf and Siren families enemies.

The Siren family became small and almost all its members are dead. Now it looks as if the Siren family rose to prominence a few years ago.

The Frostwolf family has its own problems. Due to the disappearance of two heads, close to each other, cracks started to form. Those cracks became larger after the affair with the Siren family. To protect them, Frostwolf lost a few members but to those branches of the family, it looked like Joseph gained everything with the marriage contract while they suffered losses.

They couldn't accept that started causing trouble for Joseph, making it harder to maintain the cohesion of the family. The family may break up any day and may fight each other for titles and lands.

After the affair with the Siren family, troubles inside the Froswolf family increased. The only reason why they are not truly going out on out was because they knew that by doing that other families that had enmities with them would take advantage and absorb their family's power.

The divided factions have no reason to accept such conditions. They see that they still have a chance to bring down Joseph and take over the viscounty. No need to give their family assets to outsiders.

What Wellna planned was simple.

Out of all her descendants, she always favored her great-grandson William, who has familiar features of her late husband Samuel. William too would accept anything that she says to him and would complete any task that she assigns.

So she naturally chose William to target Elisha, make her fall in love with him, and break the marriage contract with Magnus. This way, both Frostwolf and Siren families would be at odds with each other.

Moreover, the ones who are vying for power inside the Frostwolf would stir up enough troubles using this and would be able to reduce Joseph's power and influence.

For them, though they might not get the title and the lands, it would be one step closer.

For Wellna, it was destroying two families at the same time. Though it wasn't guaranteed to happen in a short time, it was a sure thing. When her time comes, she can leave this world in peace, and the two families that wronged her and her husband will soon disappear from the world.

Though it was a rivalry that was supposed to end with Adus and Samuel, it didn't. Now it crept into their descendants' hearts. This was not something that should be passed on. This is a dangerous thing to the family and would give no benefits.

If only that battle between Adus and Samuel hadn't happened, if only Samuel treated his wife truly, everything would have been different.

A century-old thing is now going to haunt three families.

For their plan to work, William and Wellna prepared a well-detailed plan and even contingencies in case they failed. Even crowded with anger, Wellna could see things clearly to an extent. She made well-detailed sketches on how to make sure everything went as planned.

First, she invited various families including the Siren family to William's birthday banquet. This was after the first semester of the first year. Normally, he had to be in the academy but William is considered a genius, so he can do whatever he wants but has to attend the exams without fail. That's the only condition for him.

After all, not only he was the top ranker but also broke many records of the seniors that came before him. To geniuses, the world would be their canvas.

Lady Wellna made sure that this banquet was to show William's strength to the world. So in addition to normal guests, she invited a few random guests. One among them is the Siren family.

This looked random but the random noble families are indirectly associated with the Rutgurd family. Only the Siren family has nothing to do with Rutgurd but only a few knew that.

Some of the Rutgurd family members knew what she Wellna was doing but they couldn't stop her. She made a plan that would make it look as if the matter involved only the youngsters and that would prevent the older people from intervening.

This party was how William and Elisha would meet and then everything would be on track for her. She never thought that there was someone that could outsmart her in this game.
