A Pro
****(POV)
Every day I regret what could have been.
I am a city mage.
Most of the guards can't use much magic.
This should give me an exalted status.
The only problem is that I am serving the lord here as a favor.
A favor for saving my life.
It all happened when we were in the diplomatic city.
I got accosted by an unknown man.
He wanted to use my services to walk in the women's bath.
You know with the invisibility magic and all.
I needed money so I accepted.
Turn out that the guy got found out.
Usually, he would have been the one to suffer from getting caught.
Nope, he turned out to be some noble.
Yes, I'm talking about the very lord of this city.
He blamed me, brought me trouble.
The only alternative I had to survive was to serve him.
For the salary of a normal guard.
Yes, he is an asshole.
Not only lustful but also an idiot.
I've heard rumors that he used to be a decent human being.
As if I'd believe something that far stretched.
