In the last days of the Heian era, the Inumaki clan had become an indomitable military force. The clan's heir, only a few months away from taking over, was doomed to a terrible fate - the gift of the Cursed Speech. Haunted by bitterness and rejected by his relatives, his life changed when he first met his personal guard, Yuta Okkotsu. Yuta, a skilled warrior, was seeking redemption for his past mistakes.

The young guard was always by Toge's side, protecting his silent companion. Over time, their relationship grew closer, and Yuta began to learn sign language to make communication easier. They spent a lot of time together, and Yuta looked forward to each day to see him, the blond, silent boy with the beautiful violet eyes that Yuta had grown to love so much over that time. Of course, he never said anything outright about his crush, because he was just his guard and nothing more.
