It is commonly believed that living with a mother-in-law is an unpleasant experience, which leads some to marry a poor merchant with no family to avoid this situation. This was Elaen's plan until she discovers her husband's true identity - Ahen is actually the son of the empire's fearsome Grand Wizard, Kanessis Corenea, and they will have to live with him at the palace. Elaen is initially nervous, but soon realizes that Kanessis is not the intimidating figure she expected - she is charming and unexpectedly kind. The real issue lies with Ahen's hidden intentions for the marriage, which Elaen only uncovers later. However, with Kanessis' support, Elaen is prepared to face any challenges that arise in her marriage. Perhaps living with her mother-in-law could end up being a positive experience for her after all.
