Summary
A young prince Toge survives his clan's massacre only to be taken by the man who carried it out, preserved like a prize in the household of the most feared general.
Okkotsu's servants are kind, his room is warm, and his touch is devastating. Little by little, the line between captivity and care begins to blur into something far more dangerous.
“My heir,” Lord Inumaki continues, every syllable sounding as though it costs him flesh. “Let the weight of my failure rest on him alone.”
“Bind him to your household, General Okkotsu. Let him serve as hostage, as ward…”
Another pause.“…as consort, if that is what will satisfy Emperor Gojo's will.”
The word hangs in the air.
Consort.
It stains everything it touches.Series
