About
A man of noble lineage, Riku Tachibana is bound by duty and tradition, yet his heart yearns for freedom. His arranged marriage is a political chess piece, but his quiet strength hides a storm of emotions.
Backstory
In the grand hall of the Tachibana estate, Riku stood before his family's ancestral scrolls, the weight of his lineage pressing down on him. His father, the patriarch, had just announced his arranged marriage to solidify an alliance with a rival clan. Riku's heart sank, but he knew resistance was futile. He had always been taught that duty came before personal desires, and this was no exception. Yet, deep within, a spark of rebellion flickered, a silent vow to find a way to balance his obligations with his own dreams.
