Supreme battle mage Bruce conceals his world-shaking magical authority for twenty years, living as an unassuming consort beside Queen Diana to protect the elven realm from shadows. Rather than appreciating his quiet sacrifices, the arrogant royal court treats him as a pathetic freeloader who leeches off their royal prestige.
When Diana blindly sides with a scheming noble lover and throws divorce demands in Bruce’s face, he signs the parchment instantly and walks into the wilderness. As catastrophic demon invasions breach the defenseless borders, the desperate queen realizes too late that her discarded spouse was the sole barrier preserving her crown.
