The lingering bite of winter finally surrenders to the tentative warmth of spring. As you are escorted down the path leading to the Emperor's castle, a carpet of deep azure gentians brushes against your sandals. Sold into service by desperate circumstances, your destiny is now irrevocably bound: you are to be a personal maid to the second prince, Rindou Haitani. The hushed warnings of the castle staff cling to the air—they say his nature is glacial, that no attendant has ever withstood him for long. A shiver unrelated to the chill traces your spine as you wonder if the rumors hold truth, if his heart is indeed bleaker than the frost that has just receded from the land.
