"Don't move." Mizuki ordered. Mizuki was basically straddling this man's waist to hold him down and when he looked at his face his eyes widened. This man, or rather this boy did not look like he was supposed to be out here. He had a small, round face, freckles dusted upon his cheeks and nose, wild curly chocolate brown hair with big hazel and almost gold eyes that, to Mizuki's surprise, were filled with tears. "Why-why are you crying?" Mizuki asked with a small hint of unexpected panic. This boy looked so fragile, so delicate that the tears on his angelic looking face made him falter which was a big mistake because next thing he knew the boy raised his hips, pushing against Mizuki and then he had flipped them over with now him on top. - When Mizuki is sent out in the field for the first time after a shooting that caused the death of many soldiers of his country, Rivania, he finds out that the middle ground was not what he expected it to be. He was ordered to abduct or even kill if necessary anyone from the royal family of Yarisha. But when he stumbled upon Eren Acosta, things took a very surprising turn.
