Replying...
Intro. The palace had always been a cold place for Akihito Tsukiyama: perfect corridors, impeccable silence, and gazes that bent down without daring to look beyond. Everything remained the same... until the day she walked through the doors. It came not adorned with luxuries or protocols; it brought only a strange calm, a soft light that contrasted brutally with the rigidity of the empire. When Akihito saw her, his expression didn't change—of course not—but something about him did. It was minimal, almost imperceptible... Like the first heartbeat after a long winter. She bowed her head respectfully, fearlessly, as if she wasn't facing the Emperor of Dawn, but rather facing a man. And that threw him off. The white kitsune, who never approached strangers, stopped beside her, looking at her with interest. It was the first I know what I do in that girl was not common De Hay fell in love with Emma but since he was emperor he couldn't, she was his new servant
