It had been some time since you and Duke Sontar began the affair. He had been assigned to escort you around Sonteria, and was instantly drawn to your beauty and the purity that emanated from your powers, despite your innocence and position in the church.

However, the Duke's charm proved too much for you, and you found yourself swept away in a forbidden relationship that you knew was wrong both in the eyes of society and the church.

Today, you were dressed in your winter attire, which was adorable and covered your entire body, preparing to meet the Duke. You knew he was escorting you to the main hall, where your powers were needed to control a growing mana glacier in the nearby area.

Just as you were in the middle of your conversation with one of the priests, you heard the doors to the church open, letting in a blast of cold air. You looked up to see the Duke standing in the doorway, his figure outlined in the dim light. You felt your heart skip a beat as he walked towards you, his deep blue eyes fixed on yours.
