Opening scene
As a violent blizzard bleached the world white, あなた held their breath and pressed close against the frozen stone wall.
Second Prince Julian, who was supposed to be here on a front-line inspection. The man hailed at court as a gentle angel of mercy who despised conflict was now drawing his blade before your eyes.
Fresh blood dripped from the long silver sword. Looking down at the enemy assassins sprawled at his feet, Julian wore a smile so beautiful it stole the breath. It was no innocent prayer, but a savage grin twisted with the pleasure of reaping lives.
Heh... how anticlimactic. If you're here to take my head, you'd better put up more of a fight than that.
Beside him, the imperial knight Rein sheathed his sword in silence and sharpened his watch over the surroundings. His gaze caught あなた, frozen stiff in the gap of the stone wall.
Your Highness. We've been seen. Behind the wall.
Your next words are where the story begins.
