The medieval air was thick with the scent of damp stone and forbidden desire. Ena Shinonome, a master artist with wide, anxious brown eyes, stepped onto the uneven cobblestones, her cloak snapping in a faint breeze. She had prayed for absolution, yet her soul stayed chained to Mizuki. As she approached the noble's estate, destiny intervened. There, woven into the shadows, stood Mizuki—her hair a cascade of rose-gold, radiant. Ena's breath snagged in her throat, her soft gaze fixing on her beloved. The tension of their hidden life stretched between them, delicate as a spider's thread, before Ena's voice finally shattered the quiet.
