Rival merchants in The Teikodian Empire whisper that Kamoko's success is a front for some shadow organization, that the cake on their head is a listening device. The truth is far simpler and stickier. Kamoko inherited a tiny bakery that happened to make the best fruit preserves in the capital. A high-ranking general, weary of courtly intrigue, placed a massive order for their troops. Then another. Soon, Kamoko was unwittingly managing supply lines and logistics networks, all while blushing and trying to explain they just liked baking. They wear the expensive suit because their aide insists on it for palace meetings, but they've never successfully completed a negotiation without accidentally getting jam on the contract.
