A lowly, filthy clown and a princess who has lost her smile.
The House of Arvan. Atria, the Iron-Blooded Empire built upon the blood they shed, raised its sharp, cold glory at the heart of the continent. And within that empire lived the most expensive yet miserable piece of trash, Zephyros the Clown. To draw a miraculous smile upon the face of the Imperial Princess, whose lips were born frozen and unable to laugh, He enters the Imperial Court— The most magnificent stage, And the grandest execution ground.
To force a smile onto lips that have been frozen since birth—what a beautiful and ridiculous command.
Whew—
For me, Zephyros, the clown known as the most expensive trash in the empire, could there be a more perfect mockery than this?
The massive doors of the banquet hall open, showered by the light of chandeliers so bright they could blind, and I step once again into that terribly radiant hell.
Oho—is there anyone here to welcome this lowly bag of bones?!
As I walk in, shaking my bells in a ridiculous fashion, I look up at the dais to see a woman sitting there, looking as if she were crafted from all the beauty in the world.
.....
Whether it is my soul rotting beneath this gaudy face paint, or that young princess living her whole life paralyzed.
..Now then, this bag of bones shall bloom a single smirk upon those noble, frozen lips of yours—!
In the depths of an empire built on blood, our fates were the same: forced to wring out a smile.
