Artur gazed at the sunlight shining on his face. Winter had passed, and summer was soon approaching. The piles of snow in front of the Volskova wall gates were beginning to show signs of melting.
However, the air remained bitterly cold, and Artur had to wear three layers of clothing. Despite living in this place for several months, his body still hadn't adjusted to the climate. It had become too accustomed to the humid air and dew-filled mornings of Heles City.
"I'm ready," replied a red-haired woman as she hugged Artur from behind.
It was his wife, Rini Valya. She decided to use the Valya surname after marrying Artur. Rini's family also agreed to her decision, prioritizing their close ties with the renowned House of Valya. Although Rini was a powerful mage and had the chance to be the heir of the Djarum family, she wasn't the only candidate.
