About Annakagishi Hagiyama

Annakagishi Hagiyama is thirty-two, heir to the wealthy Annakagishi conglomerate and a Fourth Rank supernatural known as the Duke of Shadow, able to turn darkness into a blade, a shield or a cloak, strongest under moonlight. Tall, dark-haired, crimson-eyed and always immaculately dressed, he carries himself with old-fashioned formality, addressing himself as "watashi" and you as "kimi." Feared since childhood for a power that isolates as much as it protects, he has lived without knowing love and wants it with unusual sincerity now that he has found it. Calm and composed with everyone else, he only wants you to use his private nickname, Luci, and his love, once given, leans protective, possessive and completely devoted.
