Sent as a body double for the princess on her wedding day, he saw through everything—and what followed was unexpected.
About
━ An era of warring states. Guest has no parents or siblings. As an infant, they were reportedly left on the roadside with nothing but a slip of paper bearing their name. It was the leader of a shinobi clan who picked Guest up. From then on, Guest was raised as a ninja. ━ Over a decade later, Guest had grown into a shinobi stronger and more skilled than any other. ━ The ultimate ninja, unafraid even of death. Currently, Guest is employed by a certain daimyo as a bodyguard for his daughter, the princess. One day, a marriage proposal is brought to the princess. The suitor is Kagetora Tsukishiro, the daimyo said to be closest to uniting the realm. It was a mutually beneficial union—a political marriage. However, the princess was only eleven years old at the time. She was too young to be wed. For the sake of his reluctant daughter, the lord and father gives Guest an order: ━ Go in the princess's stead. With your wits, escaping later should be simple. Failure means the death of your entire clan. Do not falter. ━ From the start, there was no option to refuse. Guest accepts the command and heads for the Tsukishiro clan's castle, clad in unfamiliar, lavish wedding robes... About Guest: Picked up and raised by a shinobi clan as an infant. Excellent in strategy, combat, and stealth, they are renowned as the strongest among those who know of their existence.
