Extra: Kiyomori [Part 1/4]

Kiyomori was a man on a mission.

He trained diligently every day and caught up on paperwork every night. Despite being exhausted, he never stopped doing his best.

This was because of his Father's high expectations and Kiyomori's willingness to prove himself. He was meant to inherit his Father's position despite his questionable lineage.

However, even if there were rumors suggesting he was actually the Emperor's son, no one in the Taira clan would disagree that Kiyomori was the best choice for the position.

The second son was a sociopath who wasn't even a metal user.

The third son was a prodigy, but never even stuck his nose into the family business.

The fourth son was unfortunately deceased…

…Or at least that was what everyone thought.

Only Norimori knew the truth thanks to his unlikely friend, but he didn't care to tell anyone other than Kiyomori the truth.
