I was on the verge of marrying a man twenty years older than my father, who had already gone through four wives. Just then, an invitation to a reception celebrating the inauguration of the new Archmage arrived. On the day of the reception, as I was looking for a chance to run away forever, I encountered a man in that moment of crisis. “This time, you’ll realize that I have a nasty habit of stealing other men’s women.” A nighttime escape, arriving at a luxury hotel. “…Perhaps you’d like to do it with me?” Expensive alcohol, a hotel room, and an intoxicated man and woman. Impulsively, I spent the night with him. Little did I know he was the Archmage.
