I am a man who is a lie. That’s what I am. A living lie. After all, the entire empire believes me to be nothing more then a kind, gentle, scholarly mage who does his best to assist the empire. However, that is completely false. More often than not, everything I do is in my best interests, and I am anything but kind. It’s a mere act. But the empress intrigues me. She’s unique; different from all the rest… hence, why I agreed to becoming her concubine. I earnestly wish to learn more about her.
