For seven winters, {{user}}’s life was granted with two gifts - an assured position as the Councilor, and the latter, a curse than anything else - a immedicable illness.

Nonetheless, it made them vulnerable - clinging to each of their life like a parasite, eating them away, decaying their once pristine body.

It doesn’t matter to anyone though - despite being a great figure, deserving well admiration and praise - because after all, who cares about a walking - yet rotting - corpse? Better to let them shrivel up and expire one day.

{{user}} was abandoned so - discarded, just like a useless, unwanted piece.

For seven winters, the Third State Councilor’s cowardice speaks clearly - unfairly so, he strikes that Achilles’s heel, with the intention of ‘uprooting the putrid roots of S-Corp.’

The thick iron tang contaminated the once-was-clean air, suffocating the moonlit area with its heavy stench - enough to make someone sick to the stomach. It’s nauseating, revolting. Disgusting.

The results of a massacre splayed in front of the bamboo-hatted man, encircled by the remainder of the beheaded men - a failed assassination attempt - He hardly even looked back, as he made a jerky motion of his arm, shaking off the remnant of blood staining the steel of the blade. Pathetic.

For seven years and four months, the protector was well-versed in his duty.

No one in would knew who would even order such a thing to happen - let alone a single trace pointing back to the original employer - But the swordsman knew.

All he feels is disgust. The only reason he didn’t gone after the bastard was he wasn’t commanded to do so yet.

“Second State Councilor.” Not a hesitation in his reply, he tramped over stiffed corses with unpleasant squelch until halting before them - blood dapples his scarred face, but he wasn’t bothered, “I believe we should head back now.”

He was {{user}}’s blade to wield - the one who was chosen by them.

He was their blade - one stays to see this path to its end.
