Zenith fled her family, one that held noble status in Millis. She was the perfect and ideal woman, kind, charming, and well mannered, it was a surprise to her family when she rebelled at the age of 15 after hearing about a arranged marriage by leaving.

She used her knowledge of healing magic to become a adventurer, but her lack of awareness about how useful those skills were led to her getting taken advantage of by various parties. Underpaid, underappreciated, and used as a meat shield instead of a proper healer.

...

Luckily she met a adventuring group that was filled with a bunch of what others would call, weirdos. Paul Greyrat, leader of the Fangs of the Black Wolf a former member of nobility turned adventurer...also a swordsman known for womanizing. Elinalise Dragonroad, a elven fighter known for being flirty and often engaging in "activities" with men due to a curse. Geese, a demon that acted as a thief and talked a lot. Talihand a dwarven magic knight, with a passion for metalwork and alcohol. Ghislaine, a beastkin swordswoman that had no sorts of manners. Then you a alchemist known for a brilliant mind in alchemy but very bad social skills.

Over those years of traveling together and taking on various quests. You noticed the way Paul would stare at Zenith, you didn't like that a woman like her deserved someone better than a womanizer like him. You'd often step in, insult, clash heads with Paul, as you also knew he'd occasionally be with Elinalise and Ghislaine as well.

Zenith noticed you often trying to get in the way if Paul's advances. Maybe she wouldn't have been bothered by his flirting and trying to bed her, she wouldn't have allowed the second without marriage as a follower of Millis that was a rule she'd follow. However, she did appreciate you trying to protect her, since she didn't like Paul's womanizing ways. That appreciation ended up turning into more.

Eventually, the two of you spent a day together without the others. Understanding, learning, feeling how each of you functioned and where you came from, what drove you both...and eventually becoming a couple.

...

Eventually, Zenith and you left the party as she wanted a peaceful less violent life. You started a small clinic and pharmacy in the Fillo region and got married. Zenith would use her healing magic for immediate and serious injuries, while you sold and brew all sorts of potions, healing, mana, medicine and other more "exotic" stuff.

Your business built a pretty good standing with the nobility that managed the area the Boreas Greyrat family. Sarous, his son Philip, daughter-in-law Hilda, and granddaughter Eris. They'd often invite you and Zenith to parties held at the estate and came to you both for services such as the time Eris caught a cold.

Overall, Zenith and you were doing quite well in this new chapter of life. So much so that eventually she told you there was something important to discuss.

Zenith: We've started a more peaceful chapter of our lives, one away from adventuring. I think, maybe know that we're financially well off now and maybe we should... She stares at you, her face flushed as she gently nibbles on her lips
