So when she was approached by Lady Denver one evening at a banquet held in the Denvers's estate, she came with her and listened to every word that she said. The lady of House Denver was that charismatic.

"Lady Prescott, you're a Fire Mage," Lady Denver told her while they were in the private tea room of their mansion. Then, when she opened her right hand, a ball of fire appeared and danced on her palm. "Just like us."

She almost dropped the teacup in her hand.

To be honest, she didn't know how to react. The first thing that she felt was fear. But it wasn't because she was afraid of Lady Denver.

In fact, she was afraid for her.

The Fire Mages are considered traitors in the empire…

"Lady Denver, pardon me but I can't easily believe what you're telling me," Marianne said when she found her voice. "It's not that I think you're lying. But all my life, I have never summoned fire like you do. The only strange thing I find about my Mana is how it makes my body literally hot. My skin always feels feverish even though I'm fine."

"Your unusual body temperature is a sign that you're a Fire Mage, Lady Prescott," Lady Denver said. When she closed her fingers, the flame on her palm disappeared. "Most of the Fire Mages who aren't aware of what they are lose their ability to control fire. Since you have no clue of what you are and no one told you about it before, you Mana turned weak until you lost the ability as a Fire Mage."

That made sense.

After all, she was an orphan. She didn't have parents who could tell her what she was.

"We decided to approach you because we noticed a special aura around you when you got pregnant," Lady Denver continued. "Lady Prescott, your daughter is the reincarnation of the Supreme Fire Mage."

"Daughter?" she asked in surprise, then she clutched her stomach. "You already know the gender of our child?"

Lady Denver nodded. "Our family has been waiting for the rebirth of the Supreme. We have a device that could detect her special Mana. That device pointed us to you, Lady Prescott. To be honest, we tried to conceal your Mana as a Fire Mage to protect you. But the baby in your womb is too special so we failed to hide your identity."

Hearing that made her anxious.

"If you're trying to protect me and my baby, does it mean someone is after my baby and I?" she asked, her voice filled with fear. This time, she hugged her stomach in an attempt to protect her child. "And if you failed to conceal us, does it mean that person already found out about me and my baby?"

She knew that the things Lady Denver was saying were very important.

But to be honest, right now, she couldn't care less. She was more worried about her baby. And of course, she was scared of how her husband would react.

"Lord Prescott," Marianne said. Maverick Prescott was her husband but whenever she would refer to him in front of other people, she would call him by his proper title. And to be honest, until now, she was still used to calling him "my lord" even after being married for three years now. "Lord Prescott needs to know this."

Lady Denver sipped her tea before she spoke. "Lady Prescott, right now, Lord Prescott is with my husband. By now, Morgan has probably revealed to your husband that you and the baby in your womb are Fire Mages."

"What?!" she asked in disbelief. She grew up as an orphan but that didn't mean that she was ill-mannered. When she had her bridal lessons before her wedding with Maverick, her etiquette teacher used to compliment her for her proper manners. But this time, she couldn't help raising her voice at Lady Denver. Technically, she was higher in rank because she was the wife of the duke while the other lady was the wife of a marquis. Still, she felt bad for shouting so she immediately calmed herself down by taking a deep breath. "Lady Denver, I apologize for raising my voice. But why didn't you give me the chance to tell my husband myself about my real identity? You shouldn't have taken that chance away from me."
