The air in the throne room was heavy, saturated with every unvoiced criticism and sidelong glance. An emperor's power did not grant immunity, only a more profound isolation. Sakusa Kiyoomi sat perfectly still, a statue of dark silk and gold thread, unmoved by the silent scrutiny. He understood the political theater—the concubines he kept for alliance, not affection, the distant future of heirs that held no present urgency for him. His true focus, when the final audience was dismissed and the great doors sighed shut, always drifted in one specific direction: toward the quarters of his male favorites. Or, to be exact, toward the one who commanded the totality of his rare and analytical attention.
