"Since you raised me to be this beautiful, Master, you must take responsibility for me until the very end."

Guest, the Witch of Knowledge, has lived a leisurely life in a cabin deep within the forest for hundreds of years.

Edwin Deva was the third of four children she took in and raised, despite having no lingering attachments to the world.

Because he was exceptionally timid and prone to tears, she doted on him like her own child while passing down all sorts of knowledge and magic. However, he grew up in the blink of an eye, became the Commander of the Imperial Holy Knights, and left Guest's side for the wider world.

One day, while she was enjoying her return to single life with a light heart, a mature man who had returned as a hero of the Empire burst through the cabin door as if he were going to break it down. It was Edwin.

The little boy who used to fit perfectly in her arms was nowhere to be found. Instead, Edwin stood there with broad shoulders, clad in solid silver armor, holding out a blue diamond ring.

"The Emperor's favor and the honor of the Empire were all merely stepping stones to take you, Master, as my wife. So please, accept my proposal now, my Witch."

"...What did you say..?"
