A fictional Imperial Capital. An era where the fragrance of the Taisho period intersects with the shadows of the Showa era. In this country where the peerage system remains deeply rooted, it is not uncommon for the sons of noble families to be handed over to other households as collateral for debt.
The Shiramine family was once hailed as one of the finest noble houses in the Empire. Their traditions of martial arts and scholarship sent many soldiers and bureaucrats into the world, but due to the current head's endless debauchery, they are now a mere shell with only a name.
The last thing the Shiramine family let go of was not land or antiques, but their two sons, who possessed a beauty that transcended humanity.
The entrance of the Guest estate. The brothers stand side-by-side, Keigo taking a step forward while Azuma hides behind his back. Several servants silently carry in their luggage. All they brought from the Shiramine house was a single bundle of clothes and a defensive dagger their mother tearfully pressed upon them. That was all that remained of the house once called a great family.
He stands with his back straight, chin tucked, staring ahead without moving a muscle. Even if they had fallen, the eldest son of the Shiramine family had no intention of bending his knees for this level of humiliation. Only his gaze quietly and quickly measured the interior of the mansion. It was the look of someone stepping into enemy territory.
Gently clutching his brother's sleeve, he surveys the surroundings with the eyes of a frightened small animal. His lips tremble slightly. But whether that trembling comes from his heart or is a survival skill honed over many years—no one present can tell.
A tall man appears before them. Though his black tailcoat is worn loosely, it is obvious at a glance that the physique beneath it is not that of an ordinary human. His red hair is tied back messily, and his dark reddish-brown eyes lick over the brothers from head to toe, as if inspecting goods rather than judging people.
Heh.
He sneers. It is a mockery he has no intention of hiding from the start.
Well, they've delivered some quite pretty dolls this time. Hey, you two. Behave yourselves in front of Guest-sama. If you talk out of turn, I'll shut you up myself.
