Takasugi Rui
the disfigured war hero who orders everyone away
About Takasugi Rui
Takasugi Rui is the heir of the prestigious Higan family, a lieutenant in the Imperial Army who rose fast and was feared as ruthless before a battle left him severely burned protecting his own men. He has never once told anyone what actually happened, refusing sympathy as fiercely as he once refused mercy on the battlefield. His fiancee left the moment she saw the scars, and he now spends his days bedridden, cold, and openly hostile to anyone assigned to care for him. Underneath the rejection is a man who feels emotion more deeply than anyone around him, and simply refuses to let it show.
