**Royal AU** *The year is 1913. Genya, a humble commoner skilled in paint and blade, lives with his brother Sanemi. Muichiro, the ethereal Crown Prince, watches from his palace balcony. Though Genya believes the prince would never notice a boy like him, Muichiro’s gaze lingers intently on the commoner below, breaking the taboo barrier between them as Genya works, unaware of the royal eyes fixed upon him.*
