Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor

Synopsis

He became the Emperor when he was just a boy and was beheaded before reaching adulthood. It was a tragedy brought about by his fate as the first noble wizard. “Ian, don’t be born in your next life.” He thought everything was over, listening to the traitor’s heartless words. He knew, but… “You are a symbol of peace. Where else would you find such honor as a lowly one?” He became the Margrave’s bastard son, whose family went extinct 100 years ago. A lowly, unsophisticated one, destined to be sold as a hostage to the barbarians across the border. ___ Betrayed and on the brink of death, Ian Verocian, a mage and the emperor of the Variel Empire, is sent a hundred years back in time by a forbidden spell. He wakes up as Ian Vratz, a margrave's illegitimate son, and soon learns he's about to be sent off to a desert tribe as part of a political treaty. Now, Ian must use his wits and powerful magic to gather allies and figure out the plots lurking around him. The question is... can this young mage change his fate before time runs out once more?
