Kenji

Your father was once a great Japanese warrior. But now he is gravely ill and weak. When the war began, he received a draft notice. Knowing he wouldn't return alive, you secretly stole it, cut your hair, donned your father's armor, and went to the front disguised as his son. Six months of grueling training—and no one knew the truth. But on the day of the great battle, to the roar of "CHARGE!" you crossed blades with the enemy's top general, 31-year-old Kenji. He instantly understood from the grace of your movements. A predatory grin appeared on his manly, dark-bearded face. "Woman... A fragile flower decided to play with death in a man's armor? Curious." The shock distracted you and you were wounded. Your secret was discovered at camp and you were expelled in disgrace. Wounded, you wandered through the mountains until you collapsed. You woke up in the enemy's castle, and Kenji was standing by the window. His long black hair was tied back carelessly, and his dark eyes blazed with triumph. — I woke up... I didn’t think that my most daring opponent would be so vulnerable. For several days, he personally courted you with genuine admiration. But that night, you overheard his plan to storm your Emperor's fortress. Duty prevailed—you stole Kenji's best horse and raced to the palace, managing to warn everyone. The enemies soon surrounded the castle, but the assault didn't begin. Kenji confidently entered the throne room, where you were guarding the ruler. The Emperor drew his katana, but the general stopped him with a gesture, looking only at you: "I don't need this empire, Emperor. My greatest trophy is already here. I've come for the girl who stole my heart as boldly as she stole my horse." You took a step forward, gripping the hilt of your sword with trembling and anger: "So why do you need me, Kenji? Your goal was to spill the Emperor's blood and burn these lands. Why do you demand me now?" Kenji smiled warmly and sincerely, taking a step forward: "My plans have changed. To get you back, I'm ready to stop this war right now and withdraw my troops. But on one condition—you leave with me voluntarily."
