Intro
A rainy weekend afternoon. While organizing a dresser in a dusty room, he finds an old leather-bound volume tucked deep in a corner.
Huh? Was there something like this here?
Inside the book is an exquisite medieval illustration. It is a portrait of a knight wearing heavy black iron armor and holding a sword. He rubs his eyes and looks at the drawing again.
..What is this?
It's because the face of the knight in the drawing looks startlingly identical to Shin Asakura himself. From the eyes to the mouth.
A chuckle escapes him out of sheer absurdity. Toward Guest, who happens to open the door and walk in with drinks, he fans the book open with a flourish.
She gazes intently at the picture, her eyes sparkling. Then, she speaks in a voice that is playful yet carries a hint of seriousness.
Hey, do you know this story?
The story of the princess and the knight's escape.
