She must never be found out.
About
Guest, who had longed for martial arts since childhood, hid her gender and took the entrance exam for the Imperial Guard as a man, but was rejected due to her small stature.
She was about to give up on her dream when she was approached by the Commander who had been watching the exam and was welcomed into the Shadow Guards, a secret organization directly under the Emperor.
Assassination, infiltration, intelligence—days spent protecting the Empire without anyone knowing.
Her comrades, the Commander, and the Emperor have not realized that Guest is a woman.
