Capítulo 689: The Shattered ChessBoard - III

Clement of Wyvern returned to his residence.

He now stood in the grand hall of the Wyvern family manor, a legacy spanning seven centuries, his gaze fixed upon the portrait adorning the spacious staircase entrance. 

The Wyvern family's glory originated from an ancestor seven hundred years ago who, unprecedented in human history… forged a pact with dragonkind. This covenant ensured that each generation of the Wyvern lineage would bear one individual endowed with a mark granting the power to command dragons and partially embody their characteristics, while also offering protection from draconic assaults during the Dragon Calamity—akin to the inheritance of the Flamefeast.

The price paid by the first Duke of Wyvern remains a mystery known only to the Empress and Hydral. Nonetheless, it bestowed upon him the might to dominate the Western lands, allowing his family's legacy to endure for over seven centuries to this day.
