Dear diary,

  I'm officially debt free and broke.

  My split of the bounty money was barely enough to cover my debt to the tower. I asked Rachel's rich parents if they needed another court mage but they said no. It's a pity, I would have done so well as a court mage. At least Rachel is happy with her Knight guy.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  I couldn't find a job in the city so I'm back to collecting spell ingredients from the forest and selling them off.

  I wish I could tell you that collecting spell ingredients from the forest is easy money but it's really not. Most of the herbs I get turn out to be weeds or worth very little. I feel like I'm cursed.

  Love,

  Tina
