   Summary

   Kinosaki Mei is tired of being followed around by six guards for his protection, but he understands that as the young first prince, he needs someone to look after him. Upon hearing of his discomfort, the Emperor, Kinosaki's father, assigns his eldest son with a single guard, highly skilled, and capable of protecting Kinosaki singlehandedly. However, the knight is with the surname Gero, a profound kingdom west of the Kinosaki Kingdom, claimed to be a lesser cousin who does not mean anything to the main royal family line. But why? Why, no matter the relationship, would a Gero be interested in protecting the heir of the Kinosaki Kingdom?
