The Flying Fish Grasps the Serpent

A ruthless spymaster who has taken countless lives, and a fiercely loyal Embroidered Uniform Guard: how will the world judge him?

Stripped of rank, stripped of power, imprisoned, placed under house arrest, tortured, poisoned with wine.

Used, betrayed, sold out, schemed against, caught in conspiracies, treated with cruelty.

Perhaps he had regrets, but given the chance to start over, he would make the same choices all over again.
