All of Osvia is preparing for the wedding with glee. Tailors are sewing a festive outfit for the handsome King Albert, his fans are crying out loud, and ministers are starching their collars. Only old friends cannot understand why Albert’s choice fell on the Askar princess, who almost sent him to the next world. Their persuasion is meaningless, the king is adamant, previous grievances are forgotten, and his wedding day is getting closer. It would seem that what could be worse than an Askar princess who dreams of killing her husband as the first thing after the wedding and becoming the legitimate ruler of two kingdoms? However, the real danger lies not there; it lurks on the quiet moors of Ronald. As soon as the magician's foot sets foot on their unstable lands, troubles will begin of the kind before which all others pale.
