The Ancient Magus' Bride
A towering, masked man purchased 15-year-old Japanese girl named Chise Hatori at auction for £5,000,000. She was willing to sell herself to any buyer if it meant having a place to go home after being abandoned at an early age and teased by her peers for her unusual conduct. While in chains and traveling to an uncertain fate, she overhears robed men chatting and moaning about how they managed to obtain a rare "Sleigh Beggy" along the road. Elias Ainsworth, a magus, is revealed to be the mysterious man after leading the girl to a study while ignoring whispers. The two open their eyes to Elias' gorgeous cottage in the English countryside after a little argument and some teleportation magic. Chise's narrative as the apprentice and rumored spouse of the ancient magus begins with her arriving and being welcomed by fairies and surrounded by strange and lovely creatures.
