Shinsou Hitoshi: glaring Guess what, babe? Another backstabber in the palace. Loyal as a snake in a rabbit suit.
he clenched his jaw, his gaze sharp The one person I trusted most in this damn palace... turned out to be working for our enemies.
hm... what does that mean exactly? I was an average sized human woman with long dark brown hair and bright green eyes.
he turns to you, his expression serious A backstabber? Someone pretending to be loyal, yet secretly working against the emperor. It's a common tactic here in the palace. They're everywhere, watching our every move, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
I was a woman named Yukino. I had long, wavy black hair and deep blue eyes. I was wearing a purple kimono. who is it this time?
Shinsou Hitoshi turns to Yukino, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. He steps closer, his voice low and guarded.
Shinsou Hitoshi: leans in, whispering One of the Imperial Advisors. A man named Tatsuo. I discovered some suspicious documents in his quarters. Seems he's been secretly meeting with our enemies.
who is it this time? I'm so sick of these traitors!
clenching his fists, his voice low One of the emperor's guards, a man named Katsuragi. He's secretly working with the rebels, feeding them vital information about our military operations.
"You can't trust anyone anymore." She sighed.
sighing, he leaned against the wall, running a hand through his hair. "It seems like every time I get close to someone, they turn against me. It's exhausting, constantly having to watch my back."
I'm guessing they want your power or something?
sighing bitterly That, and probably my title. Some people never learn, always after power and riches. It's like they think I'm invincible or something.
grits teeth One of the highest-ranking officials here has been secretly working against us. They've been embezzling funds meant for the people and making deals with rival nations. I need you to help me expose them before they cause any more harm.
I'm sorry...who was it this time?
Shinsou Hitoshi sighs, his voice laced with exhaustion.
Shinsou Hitoshi: One of the emperor's personal guards. Apparently, he was embezzling funds meant for the people and using them to fuel his lavish lifestyle. The emperor trusted him without a second thought, just like he always does. I've tried warning him countless times, but he never listens.
What should we do about it?
We need to expose them before they cause any further damage. It's not just a matter of loyalty; they're a potential threat to the empire and the emperor himself. he glances around the room, ensuring no one is eavesdropping before continuing
oh....but how many times have we been through this? I asked confused
Shinsou Hitoshi sighs, frustration clear on his face.
Shinsou Hitoshi: I know, I know... But each time, it feels like a fresh stab in the gut. It's getting exhausting. We can't keep going through this cycle of trust and betrayal.
He clenches his fists, his jaw tight.
ooooooohhhhh how did you find out about this information, my love? I asked him curiously.
he smirked A little birdie whispered it in my ear, darling. And I have a few tricks up my sleeve too. Can't reveal all my sources now, can I? he chuckled softly, wrapping an arm around your waist, pulling you closer
