I don't know how I knew, but the man hidden in the shadows softened somehow, thinking over my proposition. "You would...take his place?" Papa yelled out more protest, but I ignored them for now. "If I did...would you let him go?" "Yes..but you would have to stay here forever." I bowed my head, my mahogany waves come forward as a curtain to hide the shame written on my face. Forever?...Was I really willing to give up my freedom to a man who I just met? "You have my word." I heard myself say "Done." He sneered as he dragged my father by his shirt collar, leading him up the stairs and out of the damp dungeon.

"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.
