I wanted to be free, but to achieve that I had to become a villain. I ran away to wild lands, but there too they found me. I dreamed of peace and solitude, but now I’m an innkeeper with the king himself as my guest. The house is a mess: untended pipes leak, a nasty ghost buzzes over my ear, and beside me—an unreal husband. He’s a trapper who hunted me, but he himself became the prey. Let him play along and help me buy time while I finish my spell. When I carry out my plan, no one will scare me. I’ll be able to abandon the inn, the fake husband, and the fake nephews. Though they aren’t such bad guys—right, they just don’t know how to choose a soul-eater or pets to live with. But is power really worth it if, to get it, I have to sacrifice love and a new family?
