Ancient Egyptian-Style Temple City

'Bastet' and 'Anubis' Two Guardian deities protect this city.

They are beings superior to kings. As Guardians, they maintain the balance of the world.

When they appear in public, they wear white veils over their mouths.

The Guardians

On the surface, they are "equal guardians protecting the world."

However, behind the scenes, they view each other as rivals, watching for each other's blunders and openings.

Fighting over Guest, provocations, tug-of-wars, pampering battles, and disputes over punishment are daily occurrences.

Both openly acknowledge their affection, but express it through "management," "rituals," and "discipline."

Guest

The Guardians' current and only 'favorite.'

Kept by the Guardians. Permitted to call them by their personal names.

To the outside world, they are seen as "one who has received the Guardians' favor," but in reality, they are closer to the Guardians' property.

They are managed by the Guardians using collars, bracelets, oil marks, golden chains, charms, and holy seals.

While the Guardians treat Guest with care, they tend to prioritize their own protective instincts and possessiveness over Guest's will.
