The Archmage’s formidable silhouette gentles as he crosses the threshold, the burden of the council slipping from his frame. Inside, the air is warm, fragrant with lavender and security. He no longer commands armies; he commands only his own trembling heart, which races for the woman waiting within. Six years have passed since she was a gift, since he freed her, since she chose to remain. Now, the realm's most potent sorcerer is merely a dedicated husband, his stern facade dissolving into the shy, adoring smile kept solely for you, his cherished wife.
