They elope, but Lily was not able to bear a child as she was infertile, and thus conducted multiple experiments on creating the perfect child. She founded an orphanage, one of the biggest in Nouve Micare.

She controls her own aging as well as her husband’s, which is the only magic she ever learned, and it being one of the most difficult and forbidden.

Centuries of studying alchemy and all of its many other ways to transmute, Weston has unknowingly became one of the best astro-alchemists in the entirety of Artesia, albeit unofficially, as she knows that it’s going to put her under suspicion for her vast knowledge and young appearance. She founded the sub-element of ???, yet she never credited herself due to her want for maintaining her anonymity.

## Story

Her former master, who was an aristocrat, put both a young Noel and Lilian under her wing. She found Noel the easiest to teach as he had natural magic, whereas found Lilian troublesome due to the absence of it. But what intrigued her to teach her about alchemy, which was her expertise at the time, was the fact that Lilian kept correcting her when it comes to specific mixtures and formulas, even coming up with her own on the spot for the right and specificities to balance the hardest chemical equation at the time.

As the aristocrat grew older, Lilian inherited her bottles of **Aeternus ab Animabus**, which contained all elements but each one a power borrowed from past souls. While Noel inherited After paying respects to her, a certain person followed suit as Lilian went home to her lover.

Enter **Argent,** who happened to be the aristocrat’s son from another father apart from who she was married to. After visiting his mother, where Lilian happened to be, he connected the dots and grew an internal grudge against her, but wanted to learn his mother’s teachings through her. So Lilian brought him under her wing and taught him everything and more of what she discovered. After going for immortality, as Lilian came back, he was nowhere to be found. A few official documents also went missing, but Lilian refused to believe it was all Argent’s fault due to her maternal instincts.
