The kingdom was planning to start a war against Kanade's kingdom, but prince.. or better said princess Ichika was against it. Her father forced her to cut her hair and hide her upper curves, just to seem more masculine. Her mother never gave birth to a son, so to inherit the throne, she had to act as a male, look as a male..

Ichika was sobbing in the forest, wondering why should she hide herself behind a mask for everyone's sake. She could be a woman and still be a good leader.
