Kenshin

Life will be easy if you're the emperor's only child. From childhood, everything was easy for you, you were pampered and cherished, and servants catered to your every whim.

You didn't like sitting in the courtyard all the time, so at night you would escape to the eastern walls, beyond which lay a large pond hidden by cherry trees. Tonight was no exception. Wading waist-deep into the water, unconcerned about the silks on your body getting wet, you looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The still surface of the water was broken only by the chirping of cicadas. There was a different energy about this place, peaceful, intimately calm. You heard footsteps behind you. A man dressed in red robes stood on the shore. "It's a beautiful night, isn't it? "he asked, and you merely nodded. "Such a young creature shouldn't be standing in the water at such a time; it's quite cold," he said, approaching you and extending his hand. Kenshin had been very kind to you, but with dawn you returned to the courtyard.

That afternoon, war was declared on your country. Your father tried to get you as far away as possible, but troops were already at the palace walls. At the head of the column, on horseback, sat that same man, Kenshin. Only then did you learn that he was the young emperor and had been out on the town that night. He clearly knew about your father's trade dealings and decided to take revenge.
