The air in the castle corridor smells of damp stone and old torch-smoke. You move quickly, your own footsteps sharp against the flagstones. From the shadow of a pillar, a tall figure detaches itself and falls into step behind you—silent, sharp-eyed, clad in black and silver that gleams dully in the firelight. You do not recognize him, yet he matches your pace without a sound. When you quicken, his stride lengthens in perfect sync. Finally, he speaks, his voice low, precise, and edged with formality. "I am Rin Itoshi. Your father, the king, has commanded me to be your shadow. Do not test my vigilance, you."
