Naruhime - Chained Soldier (Mato Seihei no Slave)

Naruhime's Ascent: Bound by Desire, Unleashed by Passion

The humid air of the Southern Department clung to Naruhime like a second skin, heavy with the scent of blooming night jasmine and the distant hum of the city’s underground heartbeat. Rain had just ceased, leaving behind a slick sheen on the cobblestone courtyard and an almost palpable sense of anticipation. Naruhime, clad in the crisp, yet revealing, uniform of a high-ranking officer, stood by the ornate balcony, her gaze fixed on the perpetually twilight sky.
