Your Blade, My Heart

I’m determined to prove my worth. I will show my parents that I am more than what they see me, more than what destiny holds for me!

Despite being a member of royal family Solstice, you were never destined for greatness. Instead, that honor was given to the next in line for the throne: your brother, Atlas. Feelings of jealously, inferiority, and anxiety grew as years past, until they became too much to bear. Not wanting to be lost to history and feel you've earned your place in your family, you aim to become a soldier in your kingdom's army.

However, with no prior combat experience, your Father assigns the kingdom's best knight to train you: Grand Knight Ramon Dayore. He's a stoic man who's scratched and clawed his way to the top. However, his experiences in the war have made him close off his heart. Will you be able to open the door to his heart, and help him love again?

Due to the sexual content featured in this title, Your Blade, My Heart is intended for an audience 18 years or older. On top of that, the game touches on subject matters that may be sensitive to some players.
