What Is Koukyuu no Karasu All About?
The story starts with a young guy named Ka Koushun, who invades the inner palace. It seems like he killed the current Empress of the Kingdom, but it reveals later that he actually imprisoned her, and he is actually a Prince, who has kind of been put to the wayside of the kingdom after his mother was murdered, and the current Empress ascended the throne and took over everything.
After gaining allies, Koushun came back to the palace and took over the throne from the Empress. He believes that the Empress killed his mother, but he doesn’t have any evidence, so in order to get the evidence, Koushun doesn’t kill her and imprisons her.
In a meeting between Emperor and the current Raven Consort named Ryuu Jusetsu, who is always secluded away from the emperor and known to have mysterious abilities, Emperor asks her to find the owner of the earing he had, but she refuses his request by saying that every request that has given to her, has an equal value that has to be restored.
When the Emperor tries to force her, she uses some magic to push them out, but he comes back, but this time with some meat buns, something that is like her favorite, and she kind of forced to have to accept whatever request he has, because he doesn’t want to be indebted to him, and yes, she really likes the buns.
Following his request, Ryuu uses spells on those earnings in order to find their owner, but she could find the person because it doesn’t have enough keys in it. After that, the emperor changes her request and tells her that this thing is possessed by a ghost or maybe belongs to a ghost, and after now after she spells on the thing, ends up revealing that the owner of the earrings is being strangled or hanged themselves.
But the Emperor does not want to stop there and really wants to find out who the person is and what happened to them. And so, reluctantly, Raven Consort decides to accept his offer and look into it, she goes around the inner Palace areas and questions a couple of people to find out the story behind this earing, and through all these conversations, she ends up finding out this earing belonged to one of the consorts of the Palace.
In the history of the Palace, there are three total consorts that were murdered in the process of the Empress taking over. One of the three was executed for adultery, the other one was poisoned, and the third one was actually accused of poisoning the second and hung herself.
