"Lucius Balka..." Arthur stared intensely at the book as the name resonated within him.
Lucius Balka was a foreign figure who could rival the forebearers of both Arthur's family, the Asvold family, and the Wilhem family.
His origins remained shrouded in mystery, and his power added an unexpected and profound sense of enigma.
Furthermore, all of his descendants exhibited exceptional strength and talent.
Take, for instance, the previous emperor, Emperor Elric.
He was the father of Emperor Alex and Arthur's mother, Vivian Balka.
He possessed a remarkable affinity for the earth element and the ability to exert control over the entire expanse of the Balka Empire's territory.
And now stands Emperor Alex, possessing a unique element—the element of light—a power that Arthur himself finds immeasurable.
Adding to this, there is Lucia, who too has awakened the potent element of light, demonstrating an equal magnitude of power.
