City of Dreams (2023)

Three-year-old Ars Louvent has the power to visualize the innate talents of others. One day he meets Rietz, a man of an undesirable social class but with incredible talents, only Ars can see. Can he overcome prejudice to take him into his retinue?

To prepare for the political turmoil ahead, Ars is now determined to recruit the most talented people he can find with the help of his Appraisal skill, and he's off to a larger town to see if he can scout someone with an aptitude for magic.

Ars has discovered someone with an extraordinary talent for magic, just as he'd hoped. The hitch is that she has no interest whatsoever in serving him. Can Ars win her over, much less help her out of the terrible predicament she's in?

Ars's quest to recruit more talent continues into the future, especially as his family grows and tensions begin mounting. Little does he know he may find it in the most unexpected places, or rather, the most unexpected people.

Things are looking grim around the Louvent estate as the political situation continues to deteriorate, but nothing could prepare Ars for the storm that's about to blow in—the fiancée he didn't know he had!

Raven's condition takes a turn for the worse as the worst comes to pass politically. The governor has been assassinated, meaning the local lords must now brace for war. Can Ars lead House Louvent in his ailing father's stead?

Raven returns from the most recent campaign in dire shape. At the doctor's behest, House Louvent braces itself for a great loss. Thankfully, with Ars to succeed his father, not all hope is lost.

Ars has big shoes to fill as he takes over for his father as the new lord of House Louvent. With the trusty band of retainers he's built up over the years, is he up to the task?

Now that the governor is dead, his sons are in a deadlock over who will succeed him. Lord Lumeire's league has chosen their side, but one local district remains a political holdout—and Ars is determined to figure out why.

Ars receives a personal invitation to a party hosted by Couran Salamakhia, the elder of the late governor's two sons. Ars hardly knows what to make of the situation, much less the big ideas Couran is about to share with him.

Mireille is making a real impression at House Louvent... and it's not a good one. Ars believes in her potential, however, leaving him at a crossroads when the complaints start coming in about her. Thankfully, Mireille has an unconventional solution!

The mock battle to decide Mierille's fate and the future of House Louvent is on!
