Synopsis: Kagehime no Konrei

Izuna dedicated herself to assuming the guise of Princess Kisara, notorious for her delicate constitution. Despite leading a double life, few individuals within the Royal Palace were privy to her true identity, and she was only addressed by name by the Princess herself. As the Princess prepared to wed the Crown Prince of the Western nation, and cement a peace treaty between their countries, Izuna's time masquerading as her doppelganger neared its end. However, the Princess's health rapidly deteriorated before the wedding ceremony, compelling Izuna to take her place and fulfil the Princess's final wish for tranquillity. Although Izuna found herself working closely with her foe, she vowed never to develop feelings for him. Her fate on her journey to the West remains shrouded in mystery.
