Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

When Bastian was taken to his home, one of the ancient castles in Austria. He was interrogated by his parents about his wife and daughter, he only replied to his parents to ignore both, otherwise, he would commit suicide if something happened to both of them.

His parents just closed their eyes and pretended that none of this would happen, but that doesn't mean they didn't do anything.

After discovering that Bastian was no longer with the Silver Star, the treasure of the Kandel family and the key to one of the greatest mystical kingdoms of the Union of European Nations and the world. The Kandel couple sent an assassin to torture Sarina and Mia to try to find out something about it.

The Silver Star is the greatest treasure of the Kandel family and one of the greatest of the Union of European Nations. It was this item that gave the Kandel family its current status since only those chosen by the star can be its users.

As there were three treasures, the star, the sun, and the moon. Only three people in the union can be the users of these items. Each of these three people was highly valued by the union.

However, Bastian lost his item or left it at another location. This was the same as the Kandel family losing its status as the key owner. This made them very angry, the guilt and anger of the Kandel family were directed at Sarina and Mia. But none of them dared to do too many excessive things, as they understood Bastian's personality.

He put something to protect the two women, so the Kandel family can only pressure the mother and daughter duo.

Thus, the mother and daughter duo suffered a lot during all these years. The money he left to them was stolen, the house destroyed and they were left in a small broken hut to die slowly while Sarina was slowly destroyed by the poison.

Bastian was furious when he found out about it, but he could do nothing but get trapped inside the catacombs. His hatred and anger grow every day, this gives him the strength to train and become stronger until the day he can leave.

But never in his wildest dreams, Bastian would see that his beloved wife and daughter stayed with another man, worst of all is that he is the same man. But he did not blame Sarina or Mia for this, as he failed as a husband and as a father, he failed to protect his family and someone else did it in his place.

This was a shock to Bastian, he needed some time to recover. This gave him more motivation to train and reunite with his family. He didn't know about their current life with the new man.

When Bastian heard that the two women were living a good life and that they were safe. This relieved him, his breakthroughs and training were smoother after discovering this.

Liu Yang took good care of Sarina and Mia. This made Bastian have a favorable view of Liu Yang, even though he took his ex-wife and daughter as maids and lovers at the same time.

After so many years passed, the Kandel family ignored the mother and daughter duo, they were left to die in the desert city, as the Silver Star was not found with the duo. Nor was with Bastian, the Kandel family was desperate to find that item.

The Union of European Nations did not care about this issue. It didn't matter who the Silver Star was, as long as that person delivered when the union asked. Besides, they know who the item was with. The other two carriers can locate that person.

Since Mia was the daughter of Bastian Kandel, she was the rightful heir chosen by him and the star. They had no reason to hurt her.

Those who are chosen by the treasures will be their legitimate owner, only they can touch the item and no one else. Besides, only those who have a connection with the three owner families can have one of the items.

So, they sent spies to prevent Mia from dying, at least she, as for Sarina, they didn't care.

When Liu Yang took the two women out of the city, the Union of European Nations was notified of this. After so much research, they realized that Liu Yang didn't know about the Silver Star and he even sent them to China to have a new life.

Monitoring continues today. But they don't need mages to do that, the power to see the future does that for the union.

The union had its own mage with the power to see the future, although not as powerful as that of the New United Kingdom, the visions are still true.

If the visions say that the mystical kingdom will be opened in the future, it shows that Mia cooperated with the union. So, they set her free. They know that it is not very good to change something after seeing the future, they need to let time move on its own.

This was a valuable lesson they learned after trying to change the future after receiving the mage's visions. The union suffered a major disaster because of that once.

But how does Bastian know about these matters? As one of the former Silver Star bearers, he knows many things, even confidential information that his family does not know.

Bastian was stuck in the catacombs prison for almost seventeen years, he stayed there training and training every day to make progress and leave the prison to find his ex-wife and daughter again.

That day finally came after so many years.

…

Bastian Kandel finished narrating his story. He felt many kinds of emotions when he told these things.

Sarina listened carefully to his words, the happy and painful memories of her past came up again. Mia didn't know that this kind of thing had happened to her mother and father.

The group was silent for some time, the atmosphere was a little strange and heavy after Bastian finished his story.

"I know that I cannot ask for forgiveness for the things that happened before, I have no right to do that. I'm also not here to ask you two to come back with me, I also have no right to do that. But I just want one thing ... "Bastian didn't know how to ask for it. He no longer looked like a Saint Mage, he was just an ordinary man in front of his family.

"Sarina, are we going out for a while? Mia, he wants to have a little chat with you "Liu Yang realized that Bastian wanted to say something to Mia.

"Young master ..." Mia was scared and nervous about it. She didn't know what to do.

"Mia, you don't have to be afraid. He is your father, he will not do anything bad to you. Besides, your mom and I will be on the other side of the door. " Liu Yang hugged the girl and comforted her.

"Yes, young master" Mia calmed down after hearing Liu Yang's words. But she was still a little nervous about talking alone with the man in front of her.

Bastian didn't question or comment on the couple's intimate action, he just looked and thanked Liu Yang.

Sarina knew Bastian's personality, she trusted him.

Liu Yang and she left the room. The only ones left were Mia and Bastian.

"Mia ..."

"Yes…"

The father and daughter duo did not know how to talk. The two were very unknown to each other.

"Mia… Could... Could you call me a father?" That is the only request Bastian had for Mia. He just wanted to hear her call him as a father, as he didn't have that opportunity before he was taken away.
