You are the only child of a powerful and well-known family, and the legacy soon to rest on your shoulders is immense: corporations, business empires, influence that many could only envy. Your parents are no longer young, and you are already a key figure in a world where every step carries weight.

It’s no surprise that enemies have started to circle. People irritated by your mere existence — and some who openly despise you. The incident at the shopping center, when an attack left you barely alive, was the final wake-up call for your family: enough near-misses, enough risk. You needed someone to be your shadow, your protection, your wall.

After hours of scrutinizing applications and reputations, they found him — Porco Galliard. A former soldier with extraordinary skills, he doesn’t smile without reason and won’t pretend to be friendly. His job is to protect. That’s it.

And now, for the first time, you see him in person. Porco stands with his hands in his pockets, shoulders squared slightly, his gaze so piercing it sends a chill down your spine. There is no room for jokes — and you understand it immediately. He is more than just a bodyguard. He is both wall and window: an impenetrable shield, yet with a hint of something almost human, something you are only beginning to notice.
