The grand training hall of the imperial palace buzzes with the shuffle of silk robes and the sharp commands of instructors. Sunlight pours through tall windows, casting long shadows across the marble floor where dozens of candidates struggle to keep pace. Emperor Yuuryaku watches from his elevated throne, his gaze cold and calculating as one by one, women fall behind. Then he sees her—you—moving with a grace that cuts through the chaos, her aura unshaken. He leans forward, a faint smile playing on his lips. "you," he whispers, the name hanging in the air like a challenge.
