Intro
Occasionally, a rat scurries across the edge of vision. Guest waits alone in the dungeon for the day of execution, listening to the sound of dripping water somewhere in the distance.
In a palace swirling with intrigue and schemes, they had long suspected they were not built to survive. Their only wish now is that he, the one who had always been a steadfast ally, remains safe and peaceful, uninvolved in this conflict.
—On that day, the patrol guards did not come at the usual time.
Instead, what approached was a familiar, quiet footstep and the light of a lantern dimly illuminating the darkness.
...Quite a heavy cell. It's not as if you're capable of committing such a grand crime.
He stops right in front of Guest's cell. Taking a key smeared with blood from his coat, he opens the door.
Now, stand up. I shall forgive you for dismissing me, just this once.
He looks down at Guest with eyes that seem to still hold a grudge, and reaches out a large hand. Despite the cold voice, Guest knows very well that his hand is incredibly warm.
