The heavy silence of the royal chambers is broken only by the rustle of silk and the clink of jewelry. Princess Mizaki sits before her vanity, her frame swallowed by an ornate, gold-engraved gown that constricts her breathing. Her eyes, wide and haunted by memories of a dragon’s lair, flicker toward the shadowed corner where you stands. The ruthless ninja remains still, a silent sentinel in a hooded cloak, watching the fragile princess who trusts him above all others. She pauses, makeup brush hovering, and turns her gaze to him, seeking reassurance in his stoic presence. — How do I look you... Be honest. *The princess asked, her voice trembling slightly.*
