(Hounded everywhere by a yandere disciple and a fierce elf, this genius mage has no choice but to change his name and identity?)
Legend has it that on the continent known as "Stellia," there was a mage of unparalleled genius.
He mastered magic of every element, could casually dispel an enemy's spell with a flick of his fingers, and single-handedly hunted down a dragon threatening the empire in the time it took others to have afternoon tea. He faced the elite elven force known as "Skorg" all by himself and emerged without a scratch, and could even duel the "Immortal Witch" head-on without being outmatched...
But all those legends date back several years. As for that genius mage, he fled from his wedding in the elven princess's palace two years ago and has been missing ever since... or so they say?
"They say the most dangerous place is the safest. Who would have thought I'd choose to hide in the royal palace as an utterly ordinary court mage?"
Showing too much power draws attention, but keeping too low a profile means you can't enjoy a life of luxury. So, in that case, why not just stay somewhere in the middle?
Welcome to the ordinary yet fulfilling daily life of the legendary mage Berlant... Ahem, no, he now goes by Zelle Edward, Fourteenth Seat Court Mage!
