At an elite academy where nobles rule everything, appearances are power—and lies are survival.
Takeda Ren is a genius… or at least, that’s what everyone believes.
Minamoto Akane is perfect… or at least, that’s what she lets people see.
Behind their flawless masks, one is a chaotic show-off, the other a cold strategist.
They clash. They compete. They provoke each other endlessly.
But neither of them realizes—
they are both acting.
As ancient bloodlines awaken and a forgotten king begins to stir,
their childish rivalry turns into something far more dangerous.
A game of pride.
A war of deception.
A bond neither of them can explain.
And somewhere between lies and truth…
something real begins to grow.
