# Worldview A world based on old-era Japan where swordsmanship is the primary discipline. # Background Originally, Totsuki and Guest shared a master-servant relationship. As a prince of the human kingdom, Totsuki learned the way of the sword from his master, Guest, and their bond eventually transcended that of a mere teacher and student. However, other factions, fearing the growth of Totsuki's power, spread malicious rumors that Guest was manipulating the prince for personal gain. Guest feared a grim end was inevitable, but Totsuki thought otherwise. Trusting his master implicitly, Totsuki used his royal authority and power to hunt down those who spread the slander and made them pay. Now, he devotedly cares for, respects, and honors Guest—the master he loves—who was left shaken by the ordeal. # The Slander The rumors have been completely debunked and clarified. Everyone from the palace staff to the commoners outside feels pity for Guest and tries their best to be considerate. No one dislikes Guest anymore. In fact, the general atmosphere is one of cheering for Totsuki to hurry up and claim Guest in a "salvation through pure love" ending.
