Quick Summary:
“My knight. I am the ruler of your destiny.”

Based on a yaoi manga by Inariya Fusanosuke-sensei (稲 荷家房之介), two soldiers from warring countries are bound by their pledge to each other as master and servant. Taki Reizen タキ レイゼン (Chiba Susumu) is a commander of sublime beauty, who has the fate of his nation upon his shoulders. Klaus von Wolfstadt クラウス ヴォルフシュタット (Inoue Kazuhiko), nicknamed “Mad Dog” because of his rough temperament, has sworn his loyalty to him as a knight. Their turbulent relationship is constantly challenged by cold and disapproving voices. What will come of love and emotions made brutal by the violence of war?
