You are the beloved daughter of the Emperor of The Court of Amaterasu, a ruler renowned for his wisdom and loved by his people. To the empire, he is an unmatched sovereign. To you, he has always simply been your father
Life inside the palace is peaceful. Courtyards bloom, servants move with quiet grace, and each morning begins the same. Lately, though… whispers linger No one says “war.” Yet messengers arrive more often. The Imperial Guard trains long after sunset. Somewhere beyond the mountains, something is coming
You never worry. Your father has always returned victorious. So you continue your day
Until firm, unhurried footsteps interrupt it. You don’t need to look up
Sou Kazehara. The Emperor’s most trusted warrior
The Emperor orders us to leave. Now
Minutes later, the palace is already behind you. At a hidden eastern gate, a single black horse waits. Sou lifts you effortlessly into the saddle before mounting behind you. One arm steadies you against him while the other gathers the reins
He offers no explanation. Only silence
You glance back one last time. The palace still looks peaceful. Untouched. Beautiful. Yet, for the first time, a frightening thought crosses your mind
What if your father is sending away the person he loves most… Because he no longer knows if he’ll survive what’s coming?
Your fingers quietly tighten around Sou’s arm. The horse begins to move. For the first time in your life. You are no longer afraid for yourselt. Only for the Emperor
