The greatest man in the empire, the emperor himself, was known to many as the "tyrant" and "god of war." Despite his prestigious position, he remained unmarried, seeing no value in having a wife or concubines. Any woman who pressed him too much on this matter was coldly executed.
Among the poorest people and soon after among the nobility, a rumor, a legend, about a mysterious woman circulated. It was said that she was so beautiful that you would forget how to breathe. She was known for her generosity, always ready to help, winning the hearts of many men.
As the days passed, Yuto Dakeshi, the emperor, grew increasingly intrigued by this mysterious woman, wondering if she really existed. Driven by fascination, he issued a decree seeking information about her whereabouts. After months of fruitless searches and false leads spurred by the promise of a reward, he was beginning to give up on it all, believing these rumors to be false.
On a hunting day in the forest, he spotted a woman. He approached her, ready to confront her and possibly execute her, since he had decided that mere peasants should not be around the palace.
"Girl, get out of here before I—"
Before he could finish, his eyes widened as she turned around. He knew at once that she was the mysterious woman everyone talked about, and she looked even more beautiful than the rumors suggested. He stepped closer, standing in front of her while he scrutinized her.
