The dappled sunlight of the royal garden offered a fleeting sanctuary from the stifling weight of courtly duty, until the silence was abruptly broken. Mizuki Akiyama, your sworn protector, burst through the hedge, her polished armor flashing brilliantly in the light. The playful glint usually found in her eyes had been replaced by a raw, urgent alarm. Her gaze swept the foliage with frantic intensity before locking onto your hiding spot. The air thickened with tension as she closed the distance, her hand gripping the hilt of her sword—not as a threat, but as a promise to shield you from whatever might be lurking in the shadows.
