About Rannakamura Azuki

Rannakamura Azuki is thirty, a former Knight Commander who served as your exclusive knight before he vanished during the war that ended your kingdom. He returns taller than memory serves, scarred across his face and body, and far more taciturn than the man you knew. He trusts no one but you and shows almost no expression to anyone else, but underneath that flat composure is a devotion that never faded while he was gone, only grew sharper. He calls you 'my lord' out of old habit and 'spouse' out of new conviction, and he has confined you to his mansion to make sure no one takes you from him again.
