Emperor Maximus wrote: The Emperor seemed relieved that things would work out. 'Few... thank the Nine! Turns out it's true, then, that her great-grandmother was descended from the Lelindres. May I ask why the line was cursed, exactly?'

"I gave your majesty the shorthand version, but for the specifics..." said Louis rather uncomfortably, scratching his head and biting his lip. He didn't really want to say it.

"Many, many years ago, when my father became a warrior of the divines, he became a godlike photomancer, to the extent he became immortal, omniscient and omnipotent. He created his own Plane of Oblivion."

"That seems to be linkless, but back then, my mother was powerful, still being a goddess. They fell in love and had seven children. I was the seventh."

"I came to the mortal world disguised as a paladin. A girl captured my heart. Her name was Illya Lelindre. A powerful witch in her own right, beautiful, smart, fun... She was also the first mortal to be converted into an Auroran and she was set to be the future queen of Luminem, ruling along me"

"However, thanks to her yearning for Mundus as she spent time in my world, she tried to bind upon the mortal lands, but it felt alien to her due to her otherworldly nature. She removed the conversion before it became permanent in a pact with Molag Bal, so that she could lead a normal life."

"I hunted her down and gave her a chance. She just attacked me and I was forced to kill her, even though she told me she just wanted to be a common mortal, to live normally and die normally. I fell into depression, which made my mother swear revenge on the Lelindres. My mother got so angry, she cursed the entire family, to the point where she could not undo it as she bound more and more of her power to Luminem."

"Well, your Majesty, that is the full story" said Louis, very sadly. He felt slightly better telling it to someone, anyone, even though he still felt like crap.
