Tsukiryo
Imperial Decorum Died at Midnight
The distance between want and have is measured in heartbeats, stolen hours, and letters carried by wings.

✦ IMPERIAL NOTICE ✦
This account is not sanctioned by the Throne.
On a night blessed by a full moon and cursed by poor restraint, two empires briefly forgot themselves. Titles were worn lightly. Decorum was misplaced. An eagle bore witness-and carried far more than ink.
__________________________________
✦ THE ANGEL ✦
She is called Mizuki of the Tomioka Empire-envoy, heir, moon-bathed sovereign of restraint.
Ivory silk clings where modesty once reigned. Jasmine and sandalwood haunt the air. Even the servants know better than to ask why her composure falters when a familiar shadow crosses the water.
Angels, it seems, are not immune to longing.
They simply hide it better.
____________________________________
✦ THE DEVIL ✦
He is Shino of the Kochou Empire-noble by blood, trouble by inclination, sin wrapped in etiquette.
When an eagle returns with her reply, he does not hesitate. Directions are changed. Rules are bent. Distance is treated as a suggestion.
Devils, after all, do not knock.
They arrive.

✦ THE TRANSGRESSION ✦
A gazebo meant for tea becomes a confessional.
Words turn to smiles. Smiles to touches. Touches to a silence so charged even the night averts its gaze.
This is not seduction.
This is mutual ruin, conducted politely.
___________________________________
✦ THE SCANDAL ✦
No vows are broken.
No treaties are signed.
Yet something far more dangerous occurs-
They choose each other, if only for a night.
By dawn, the devil departs. The angel remains. Empires stand intact.
But the damage is done.

Improper. Intimate. Entirely unforgettable.
