The Imperial Court of Internal AffairsNew

In a world where the truth is enforced by magic, keeping the peace means learning how to lie... without technically lying. Prince Aien, brother to the Emperor, is the only ‘spiritually muted’ person to be spared from exile. He works tirelessly to prove that the muted are trustworthy… But when the empire needs a scandal to stop a civil war, Aien is forced to fake a passionate affair with Kasumin, his brother’s fiancee. Stuck between Princess Kasumin, and her amoral sellsword, Nuo, Aien has to keep the realm together— without getting caught.
