Synopsis
Sei gets some cold water for her feet to soak in to stave off the heat. Jude helps her make it cold but reminds her that no one is to see her bare feet. Jude also tells her that there are barely any ice mages in the kingdom. Albert accidentally sees Sei's feet when he comes to visit her. After apologizing, he asks her to come into town with him the following day.

They ride into town via carriage. Albert helps Sei off the carriage and holds her hand as they begin looking around the marketplace. As Sei notices Albert is constantly holding her hand, he protects her from someone about to ram into her. When they stop for a bite to eat, Sei wants her drink to be colder. Albert makes ice appear using his magic and makes it nice and cold. He also talks about how he and Johan would sneak out of the palace and into town when they were younger.

They pass by some shops with Sei interested in a hair ornament. Sadly, it's out of her pay grade so Albert gives it to her as a gift after their time in the marketplace. There are also some gems in it that match Albert's eyes. The day after, Johan asks Sei on how their date went. Sei then realizes that she went on a date with Albert the previous day. It turned out according to Johan that Albert wouldn't just ask any woman to join him on a trip to the marketplace.

During Sei's next visit to the library, Elizabeth adores her friend's new hair clasp. She figures out that it was a gift from Hawk very quickly. According to her it was custom to give women items that match the giver's eye color so that they think of them. Sei is clearly not used to this kind of attention. When Sei shows it to Jude, he notices that it's enchanted but isn't sure of the enchantment itself. When she brings the news to Johan, he suggests giving enchanting a try. When weighing the options to get items enchanted or to learn the trade herself, Sei chooses to learn.

She's taken to the Royal Magi Assembly where she learns the basics of enchantment. She's given a stone to block against one affinity of magic. Sei tries to do enchant something that blocks all affinity magic but ends up breaking the stone/focus she tried to enchant. The deputy director, Erhart notices this and gives her a better focus for her to enchant. She successfully enchants the item much to the entire assembly's surprise. Erhart gives her a few more foci to try enchantments with and appraises them with his magic. She finishes with a focus that increases status resistance and boosts magical and physical defense. As compensation, she's given the first focus she was able to enchant and is thanked for her help.

A few weeks later, Erhart calls her back in for help enchanting. Apparently the first order of knights heard of Sei's enchantments and wanted their own. The Assembly couldn't supply them so Sei would have to go in and make them for the knights. Sei is happy to help but Johan makes it clear that she is to be compensated afterwards. Sei sees the assembly drained and it's only because an expedition is happening soon so they need to make the enchantments quickly.

By day's end, she fulfilled many enchanting requirements hoping to finish by the following day. Erhart appraises them and is impressed by Sei's brilliant work. The rest of the assembly makes a big deal on how the head mage never smiled before. As for compensation, Sei requests to see a craftsman. She sees Albert and brings him some sweets along with a pendant that has a foci with her eye color enchanted to protect against magical damage. Albert kisses Sei's hand and she goes black after that.
