Asta and Yuno. The Gift from God and the Blessing of Hage. The Sun and the Moon. The girl with unloved by mana and the girl blessed by it. The girl determined to become the Wizard King and the sensitive girl in awe of such a declaration. That fateful snowy night marks the promise they make to each other. One girl beaten half to death and the other girl almost frozen stiff. Sisters. Rivals. But, something else happens. A simple traveler with the personality of a lioness watches the scene and makes a decision. Mereoleona Vermillion, the Uncrowned Undefeated Lioness. No man ever interested her enough to think of starting a family and pregnancy would only keep her off the battlefield. She does not want children, but she will take these two girls in and train them. The looks on those stupid nobles' faces will be entertainment enough. Asta and Yuno. They are destined for greatness and Mereoleona will make sure they get there. She's interested in how it will go. And she is not proud of them. She is not their mother! Spoiler alert: she most definitely is their mother. And the Clover Kingdom is about to find out how the wild woman's children are just like her. Oh boy. Or, what if Mereoleona was simply passing through Hage on her way to a Grand Magic Zone north of Clover Kingdom's border and caught sight of the fateful night that decided Asta's and Yuno's future? What if she adopts them, both out of intrigue for how far they can go and to gleefully watch the King of Clover Kingdom have an aneurysm when it's revealed she adopted two peasant girls? This story is the product of those two scenarios. Hope you all enjoy! Updates will be posted on Mondays.
