The Empror's Trap

Kenji finally attained his dream, becoming the Emperor's most trusted confidant, and envisioned a powerful historical legacy. However, the new Emperor harbors his own dangerous ambitions, perceiving Kenji not as a partner but as a significant threat. As intrigue permeates the imperial court, a malevolent scheme is devised to eliminate the man who has become too vital to overlook. The Emperor, with a chilling smile, offers Kenji congratulations, laced with a sinister warning: "How great must it feel to receive a court audience and the special joy of having a sword under your head before the imperial family!" Kenji, possessing sharp perception, recognizes the perilous game he is now entangled in, a realization further compounded by his sister's seemingly innocent congratulatory message.
