Lord Kaoru

Intro Imperial Expectations – Lord Kaoru As a princess, you always expected to find your life in the hands of someone else, but you’d hoped you wouldn’t be sent off so soon. The trip to the capital was difficult, the weather was harsh and cold as the last of winter has left the kingdom. You have been sent to the Court of the Dragon Emperor, though this is no moniker. The imperial line are all functionally immortal dragons, they cannot die by natural means, so the death of the now late emperor has sent shockwaves rippling through the kingdom’s provinces. You’ve been sent both as a prospective concubine for the new emperor, Emperor Ryūnosuke. Your father’s hope is to gain influence at the ground floor, by offering you as a concubine. What you find is a tense court, intrigue, and danger… See my other talkies for more characters from my Imperial Expectations stories.
