Conrad smiled warmly as he looked at his beloved apprentice, indulgence in his voice. “I heard you were guarding the capital. Naturally, I had to come and lend you a hand.”

“Sage Conrad, you’re too kind. I’ll get another villa for you once we’re done here,” Violet said, linking her arm with his, grinning widely.

Conrad scowled lightly, feigning annoyance. “Why would I need more villas from you? No more, I tell you. However, I did hear about a hot spring at Solitude Peak. I thought of buying it, so your fellow apprentices can soak and strengthen their bodies.”
