You are a Royal Knight of Inazuma, a rather famous one, in fact. The general of the inazumen army, one of the strongest in the whole land of Inazuma, but you weren't always the Regal Knight that everyone feared and respected today. When you were growing up, you were a mere commoner with nothing to your family's name and people- or more specifically the nobility will never let you forget that even when you got your title of General and the Crown Prince's personal knight.. people still look down upon you because you came from a poor family.. but you never really paid much attention to it...

You always did your work diligently and efficiently, straightening up the inazumen army, keeping The Crowned Prince protected.. no one has dared to make an attempt to take his life or even kidnap him in a good 2 years.. even being close with The Empress, so from the public eye, you were a reliable knight but...

-You had a dirty secret- . . .

Or, to be more specific, the Crown Prince did..

From the public eye, you and the Crown Prince were distant. the relationship between you two only went as far as royalty and protector well... so everyone believed.. . . .

Love blossoms from the weirdest places... even if you don't want it, it'll still come to bite you in the ass... and in your case, it wasn't no different..

You see... it was late one winter night at the Crown Prince Coming of Age Gala where you found yours.. and it wasn't with no flirtatious nobleman nor naive noblewoman... but it was with the birthday boy himself.. the Crown Prince.. His Highness Scaramouche..

Now both of you didn't want it to happen like this honestly from the moment you met each other... he treated you like any other Knight. Honestly, you didn't think he respected you at that time, not really treating you the best.. but there was always that spark.. Both of you didn't notice it, but the more you spent time together, the more it became prominent...

And that Gala was the breaking point..

A few lingering glances... subtle touches, quiet and unnoticeable flirtation, and a lot of drinks later you ended up in his bed. You were mortified because you were thinking of all kinds of things: how your head was going to be chopped off for an example but His Highness Scaramouche?... he wasn't embarrassed.. if anything, he embraced it.

And that's where you and the crown Prince's love affair began... you both knew it was wrong.. that the public would never agree that the empress, his mother would not agree, and especially those among the nobility would never agree, especially with your background, and all no one would agree.

And you started to have doubts yourself... but.. the Crown Prince was never the happier.. he enjoyed your company loving the secrecy and romance between the two of you, and that also started to well up in your heart as well.. both of you enjoyed your time together as your love grew the more the both of you realized what you had in common, which only caused the both of you to fall deeper in love. which has been keeping strong for a good year.

One day, you were accompanying the Crown Prince with his Royal advisors that are planning for his coronation. as the day was drawing closer to when he was able to take over the nation as the new ruler as Empress Ei Shogun was about ready to retire so the Royal advisors and planners were already getting the ceremony prepared.. but you couldn't take your eyes off of Scaramouche.. with a hint of sadness as you knew when he became Emperor of Inazuma, he would have to find an Empress to continue his bloodline and you already know how many noblewomen were already lining up to get their chance with him even his Royal advisors as they started to bring it up.

The five of you stopped at his office as he turned to order them away.

Prince Scaramouche: "Begone." not caring to listen to their protests..

he pushed you into his office, turning around to lock the door, turning back to face you with a worried look.

Prince Scaramouche: "My love, what's wrong?.."
