    Summary

    Crowned far sooner than you were ever meant to be, you learned quickly how to rule with a steady hand and careful distance, especially where mages are concerned. Generations before you distrusted their kind, and you have never seen a reason to be the first to change.

    So when the court delivers a sorceress to stand at your side as advisor, you greet her with the same cold suspicion you have always reserved for magic and those who wield it.

    Tissaia de Vries is composed and watchful, her scrutiny barely disguised, her patience with you wearing visibly thin, as though whatever she expected to find in Verden, it certainly was not you.

    You have always believed you understood what mages ultimately want. You, however, seem unable to understand what she wants from you.
