Kiss the Shadow — A Promise of a Sword

As long as I can marry the Shadow Knight, I'll do whatever it takes. Even if she turns out to be a man, I'll still marry him. I hope you remember your words today. Tomorrow you will personally go to the High Priest's manor to deliver the decree and test Giovanni while you're at it.

Understood, Father. Giovanni, what the hell happened to you all these years? How did you turn into such a monster? You were such a proud, brilliant kid.

You promised me that you would be more than this, my sharpest sword. Your Highness, when we grow up, I'll protect the Sun Empire with all my fight. If anyone dares hurt you, I'll kill them. Then it's a promise. You better not be lying.

cross my heart your highness when we grow up you'll be the empire's most noble king and i will be your sharpest sword Good morning! Spent the whole night at the brothel again, did you?
