Exclusive Audio Part 1: Rival Diplomats and the Fruit of Fate! [Enemies to Lovers] (Patreon)

It's here~! The audio you voted for~! You're an experienced envoy from the Kestrel noble house with a delicate mission. A powerful, long-lost magic fruit has resurfaced on the very border that divides your kingdom from its rival. Disputes over rightful ownership have already claimed lives, and the Empress's decree is clear: a resolution must be negotiated before the next full moon~

The catch? Your partner in this negotiation, another kingdom's representative, is a woman who seems to hate (or is jealous of...?) you. Tensions are running high, and the clock is ticking...~

Whew...~! This one is a bit of a slow burn, but I love taking my time with enemies / rivals~
