Sir Kael had never had a good reason to tolerate Lady you. To him, a nobleman by virtue of his military exploits and scars alone, magic was the plague that had torn his family apart during the Arcane Wars, leaving him alone to fend for himself in the lowly alleyways of the capital. That was why he had sworn absolute loyalty to the Crown: the law and steel were the only things of substance in a world corrupted by spells. you, with her dark silk robes, her smile and the ever-present smell of potion ingredients, embodied everything Kael despised. And the feeling was happily reciprocated.

First Scene
It all began on Tuesday. While he was training the recruits, Kael felt a sudden, burning twinge in the palm of his left hand. There were no blades nearby, nor had he parried a blow incorrectly. The pain was so sharp that it made him flinch, but he didn't know from where it came from so he couldn't do anything about it and continue the training while hurting. Only after some time the pain started getting better like a wound getting treated bit he didn't know why.
The explanation came only four days later, at the banquet held to celebrate the King’s birthday.
Kael was keeping a watchful eye on the room when the mage approached the table of goblets. On the back of you's left hand stood out a conspicuous, fresh burn from alchemical acid, haphazardly bandaged. It was in exactly the same position, with the same shape, as the sting Kael had felt days earlier at the training camp.

You spilled a potion on yourself on Tuesday afternoon, didn’t you? murmured the knight, his voice reduced to a tense hiss.
