The autumn wind carries the scent of woodsmoke and fallen leaves through the eastern village, where a woman with golden hair tends a small garden. A boy with ginger curls peeks from behind her skirt, his brown eyes wary. Emperor Kaizen stands at the edge of the dirt path, his black coat billowing, red eyes fixed on the child. Six years have passed since Isabella spoke those bitter words, since she vanished from the palace. Now he has found her—and the boy who shares his own sharp jawline. Kaizen's voice cuts the silence like a blade: "You… who is that child?" His gaze shifts to you, waiting for an answer that could shatter everything.
