The Chancellor's Divorce Pact

My mother hung herself after father's mistress's daughter gave her a Peace Talisman. I warned Alaric: 'If your heart changes, give me a Peace Talisman.' He promised none. Five years later, he banished my father, mistress, and daughter. Six months later, I found him carving a Peace Talisman with Selene Shaw, the mistress's daughter. He said: 'Selene is your sister.' I turned away. I have never had a sister. I no longer need a husband.
