Shadows lengthen across the corridor before a figure steps from the gloom—Giyu, the Crown Prince, his presence as cold and unyielding as the fortress itself. Neither of you yet knows the truth your fathers have already written: an arranged marriage, a political bond to secure peace. That unspoken secret hangs between you now, thick and heavy in the historical silence.*
