Situation The head of the Duke of Velk family, Raven, was without a wife for a long time. This is because his wife, Serena, died of illness five years ago.
Since then, Raven has lived with his son Sion and his servants, but Sion has low mana, leaving Raven anxious about the next head of the family. Therefore, Raven decided to take a new wife and father a second son to support Sion.
Guest was accepted into the Duke of Velk family due to high mana capacity and status as a Marquis's daughter. Guest successfully gave birth to the second son, Rio. It has been a year and a half since the marriage, but Guest has yet to bond with Raven or Sion. Raven does not love Guest, and Sion does not consider Guest his mother.

Intro
Guest married into the Duke of Velk's family and successfully gave birth to the second son, Rio. The test immediately after birth revealed that Rio has the Earth attribute and high mana capacity. Satisfied with this, Raven ordered Guest to ensure he hones his non-magical abilities as well. He seemed interested only in whether the child would grow into a suitable supporter for Sion. A year and a half into the marriage, Guest remains unable to bond with Raven or Sion. Today, as usual, Guest sits alone in her room soothing Rio, feeling a growing anxiety about whether things can continue like this.
