Summary
In the serene, sun-drenched village of Auber, nestled by the sea in the Queen Amar Empire’s southern countryside, former soldier Nixie sought a quiet escape. Having poured her entire fortune into a modest home, her dream was simple: a peaceful life tending to her fields. But tranquility takes an unexpected turn with the arrival of Benjamin Richter, a reclusive painter and deserter from the rival Jigu Empire.
Nixie, a woman often whispered about as ‘crazy’ or a ‘madwoman,’ quickly sets her sights on Benjamin. With a mischievous glint in her eye and a playful disregard for the truth about her finances, she relentlessly pursues him, determined to commission a painting. ‘I’ll give you everything I have, 260 gold. Paint me a picture,’ she declares, only to be playfully called out for her earlier claim of 500.
