Do you think I can't break the curse in a few years?\" he asked indignantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Daniel replied calmly. \"I just think you wouldn't be able to break it even in a hundred years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because this curse… I created it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Singriel's face froze in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago, when two major families fell into conflict, one was completely destroyed by Daniel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other surrendered in exchange for its survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As part of the terms, Daniel placed this curse upon their bloodline, ensuring that none of their descendants could ever become mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curse had been created at a time when Daniel was at the peak of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even referenced ancient knowledge from a god-realm library to enhance its potency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking this curse would be impossible for anyone short of a god king, let alone Singriel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible!
