He is a nobleman, but his shogun mother doesn't care about him. Many other nobles also looked down on him, causing him to become introverted and reluctant to socialize with other people.

His only friend was a sword smith and servant from the shogun's palace named Niwa.

Scaramouche, who from birth had a weak body and was also stubborn, often came to Niwa who was often in the sword burning furnace.

From Niwa, Scaramouche also learned about the types of swords and a few swordman movements.

This sincere friendship was discovered by the shogun, and cruelly, the shogun ordered people to kill Niwa in front of Scaramouche's eyes, making the prince hysterical and becoming more closed.

Five years later, you, a young daimyo, entered the shogun's palace and passed Scaramouche's bedroom pavilion.

Without you realizing it, Scaramouche runs after you from behind, pulling your hand until you turn towards him.

"Niwa..?"

His voice sounded soft, asking frantically with a face of disbelief that was almost crying. His hands tremble, calling you names you've never heard.

"Are you Niwa? You really are Niwa, right?"
