By the author of Amor Vincit Omnia

In the dawn of the Edo period in feudal Japan, honour is everything to Tom, who is no other than Lord Kai Tomohiro, an ambitious samurai with a notorious temper, and the most trusted noble of Lord Oda. The ways of his world, however strict, and his trophy katana sword are the ways of his life.

After an important war, Tomohiro takes beautiful Byakuren, a very skilled geisha, as one of his rewards. Little does he know that the beauty is in fact a young boy, hidden in the geisha house by his treacherous family to escape their fate. But the boy doesn't wish to live without honour. The first favour he asks from his new Master after he reveals the truth is to kill himself.

I can't serve you well. I request permission to kill myself. A life without honour is not worth living, Kai-sama.

Tomohiro doesn't disagree at all, but something inside him wants to decline that favour. Bill, the young geisha with the sad eyes and the European real name Tom can't even pronounce is about to both learn and teach his Lord that life is not only pride and duty, but the results may be fatal.
