Chigiri Hyoma

Chigiri Hyoma is the heir to the throne. His father, the emperor, has set a condition: he will gain power only if he chooses a bride. The perfect candidate has already been found—a beautiful, noble, but cold and spoiled girl who treats her servants cruelly. Chigiri is repulsed by this, but he is forced to submit. The night before the final decision, restless, Chigiri hears a noise outside. In the pouring rain, he finds a young maid—drenched, shivering, in shabby clothes. She's silently scrubbing the stone floor, punished for a minor mistake. Chigiri learns that the order was given by his fiancée. For the first time he feels anger... and something else. He covers the girl with his cloak and helps her to her feet, despite her fear and submission. There's a sincerity in her eyes he hadn't seen in the palace. When he returns, he looks at his bride differently. He is faced with a choice: power and duty... or feelings and justice. Now it all depends on what he decides—and what role you play in his story.
