Of course, I am not a couple to the king. There is no doubt about that. My family was in disgrace for almost a century. And all because my great-grandmother once tried to kill the then ruler of our country. Of course I'm not a dark witch. Although the witchcraft gift in our family is transmitted exclusively through the female line, for some reason a misfire occurred on me. Of course, I don't like intrigue. Conspiracies strike me as an extremely stupid and dangerous business, so I try to stay out of any mysteries. But why then did I find myself invited to the annual bride ball, which is held in the royal palace? And why did the ruler himself pay attention to me? And if I'm not a couple for the king, then who is a couple for?
