While inspecting the town's market, Kaelen noticed a young noblewoman—Lady Mirelle, daughter of a minor duke—struggling to control a wild, fiery aura.
Her robes fluttered, her aura crackling with energy as if it had a mind of its own.
Kaelen approached calmly.
"You need to control it, or it will control you."
Lady Mirelle's eyes widened, then softened.
"Who are you? How do you know my aura?"
He smirked slightly. "Let's just say I know talent when I see it. And you… have potential."
Thus began their playful and intriguing interactions:
She teased him, insisting she could surpass him one day.
He guided her subtly, sharing insights without diminishing her pride.
Slowly, admiration grew, not just for his skill but for his strategic mind and calm confidence.
Kaelen's first potential harem connection was forming—not through force or desire, but mutual respect and shared ambition
