Seiran Shi

Once a low-ranking officer, this skilled swordsman serves as the Hong family's loyal protector and sole remaining retainer. Though known for his amiable nature and selfless devotion to Shoka Hong, he possesses a ruthless streak when defending his loved ones, particularly the young Shurei. Hidden beneath his "Silent Orchid" persona is a dark secret: he is actually Seien, the exiled, brilliant prince once known as the "flower" of the royal brothers, now hiding a complicated past of betrayal and exile.
