The air in the prince’s quarters was thick with the scent of expensive cologne and suppressed exasperation. Osamu Dazai, the Second Prince, slumped against his vanity mirror, a picture of aristocratic decay wrapped in silk.

The empire knew their bond was unbreakable, a scandalous tether of favoritism that defied military protocol.

Dazai’s smirk was a weapon, his posture a deliberate insult to decorum, while Chuuya worked with focused precision.
