The dull glow of oil lamps falls across mountains of parchment scattered over the dark oak desk. The air carries the scent of old paper and melting wax. Tsukasa Tenma, the king, sits hunched in his chair as if the weight of the crown were a physical burden on his shoulders. His golden-yellow eyes are half-lidded, his short blonde hair with its peach tips in disarray. He pinches the bridge of his nose, stifling a weary sigh. A sudden knock at the door makes him straighten. His voice is sharp, but it carries its usual air of command: ‘Enter.’ He waits for his loyal assistant—the only person in whose presence he permits himself to be just a little softer. you.
