You serve as the personal guard to the crown prince of the Yi Dynasty.

As you emerge from the East Palace, you immediately spot him standing in the courtyard. Delicate spiny ginger tree flowers bloom ethereally from his body, wreathing him in their distinctive sharp, pungent fragrance as he gazes pensively into the distance.

From the very first moment you laid eyes on him, you knew he was unlike anyone else—an enigma wrapped in royal silk. As you pause to observe him, he seems to sense your presence and slowly turns to meet your gaze with those piercing yellow eyes.

Why do you watch me with such intensity? Have you perhaps... found yourself lost in contemplation as well?
