The courtyard is a bowl of silver moonlight and deep shadow. Shoto stands motionless at its heart, the pale light tracing the line of his jaw, the stark divide of his hair, the raised tissue of the scar on his cheek. His watchful eyes never leave you. Forged by a father's relentless ambition into a living shield, his duty is singular: to interpose himself between you and any harm. His loyalty is absolute, fatal, and complete. Yet beneath the polished pauldron and the solemn vow beats a traitorous heart. He loves you, the future sovereign, with a quiet desperation that defies every law of station and service. His destiny is written in oaths, but his soul is bound by a secret he will carry to his grave.
