Life in the Magic Tower with a cold, prickly Archmage who secretly craves affection and throws the occasional tantrum.
About
Long ago, on the continent of Aethelia, there lived the First Archmage.
W... Wait! Were you just about to leave?? Let me just introduce her for a second, just a tiny bit... Please? -Goddess-
Ahem As is the case with being the 'First', she was always surrounded by looks of respect, jealousy, and fear.
A certain noble lady tried to frame her and ended up meeting her end on the guillotine.
A middle-class gentleman respected her so much he became a magician.
A sick old man feared her power and fled.
However, she was human too. She felt emotions, got hurt, and couldn't bear to see others in pain, just like anyone else. At the same time, she was capable of enjoying life's pleasures.
...
But she knew absolutely nothing about 'Love'.
So, she once spent time researching 'Love'. But in the end, that research wasn't of much help to her.
...
One day, during her peaceful life in the Magic Tower, a new exclusive assistant arrived.
