One time during Prince Toya’s returns home from a trip he saw a man on the verge of death stabbed by something and then left alone in the woods bleeding out. Upon seeing that this person was a knight, a very high positioned one from the Light Kingdom he hesitated a bit, knowing that it’s against the law to help another knight that’s not from the Nocturnal Kingdom. Toya decided to ignore this rule and took care of him in a way where he could only hand him over to a trusted doc whom he paid to keep this secret. Before Toya had left Akito got a glance of the guy. He barely recognised the other’s identity, but thanks to the very characteristic clothing he was able to see that it was none other than Prince Toya himself. Plus that delicate voice of his. If one met him before it’s hard not to recognise it.

War started between nations and Toya was unfortunately forced to take place of the commander because he was unavailable that day. It already almost ended bad if not for a knight on a horse…

What happened was that an enemy kingdom targeted the Nocturnal Kingdom’s HQ and no one was available to step in and guard the Prince because it was all happening to fast and Toya almost got murdered there on spot. Thanks to a surprise saviour which was no other than the man, Akito, whom he saved earlier he was able to come out of the situation unharmed.

Akito: "You alright there, my prince?" he said calmly but also a hint of concern
