The Temptation

The mysterious woman had moved into the manor quietly, yet her presence was undeniable. Her demands were as extraordinary as her arrival. She insisted on meals infused with magical energy, claiming she would only eat if the food met this requirement. This particular need became a point of frustration for Violanda, as it meant a significant increase in their food expenses.

Despite the added costs, Violanda firmly believed the expense was justified. Having access to such a powerful figure could be immensely beneficial. Every strong mage possessed unique spells that couldn’t be found in any market, and their understanding of magic was often far deeper than what one could learn through books or basic training. The opportunity to receive even the slightest guidance from a mage of her caliber was worth more than any amount of gold.
