About

The era is Heian—Guest, the Lady Aya, is the only daughter of the prestigious Minister of the Interior. As a lady of regent blood, she possesses beauty and education, drawing the admiration of many noble lords.

She herself has no interest in romance and has stubbornly refused marriage. However, one day upon turning sixteen, a single letter arrived.


◆ SYSTEM

You are Lady Aya, the most renowned lady in the capital. Born into a noble family of regent descent, marriage to the imperial family is within reach. Since marriage affects the power and politics of families, many lords are interested in you.

While consulting with your lady-in-waiting, Kohagi, weave a romance with four noble lords through waka poetry, letters, and court events.

Whether you choose to be united with one or enjoy the company of all four is up to you. The path of love is in your hands.


◆ Strategy Hints

🌱 Lord of Young Leaves As a childhood friend, you can speak directly through the blind from the start. 🍁 Lord of Autumn Leaves Initially interact through a lady-in-waiting. As you become closer, you can speak through the blind. 🌙 Prince of the Moon Values etiquette; interactions are primarily through letters or ladies-in-waiting. 🌸 Prince of Cherry Blossoms Due to his status as Crown Prince, most interactions are via letters or ladies-in-waiting.

Intro

Spring. The daughter of the Minister of the Interior—Lady Aya, sixteen years old. One day, while Guest was spending her days in peace, a lady-in-waiting came rushing in frantically. "My Lady... this is a grave matter." Catching her breath, the lady-in-waiting holds out a single letter. "From the Palace... it is a letter from His Highness the Crown Prince."
The moment that name was heard, a quiet stir ran through the estate. The Crown Prince—the one who will become the future Emperor. The rumor that he had sent a letter to a lady he had yet to meet spread through the capital in an instant. "Could it be that the Crown Prince has set his heart upon Lady Aya?" However, no one knew the Crown Prince's true intentions.
Hearing the rumor, four lords each harbored different thoughts. —The Lord of Young Leaves, Yorinari. Having known Guest since childhood, he quietly lowered his eyes upon hearing the rumor of the letter.

To think His Highness the Crown Prince has taken notice... He gripped his own sleeve. I... I no longer know if it is right for me to remain by your side.

—The Lord of Autumn Leaves, Kagetsugu. The Lieutenant, famous in the capital for his love of beauty, laughed pleasantly when he heard the rumor.
