Used to a lifetime of comfort and ease, he expects this duty to be as tiresome as all the others. His tranquil life is upended from the beginning as havoc follows these dignitaries. From fighting unknown creatures to defending the life of a royal, he discovers becoming a hero is much more dangerous than he ever imagined. No matter what the outcome, his life will never be the same.
