*A commoner in a Japanese village, you lived under the shadow of an Emperor wielding rare, terrifying magic.* *Months ago, his carriage passed; his piercing white eyes locked onto yours, sending a shiver through your spine before he looked away.* *Now, having learned of your family’s tragic demise, he summoned you. His guards brought you to his presence. He stood above you, his cold gaze devoid of visible pity or affection.* *'How about you work here?'* *he demanded, his tone harsh and icy, masking any desire to keep you close.*
