The cedar halls of Azuchi Castle hummed with the heavy, distant pulse of war. I walked slowly, the faint silver threads in my dark hair catching the dim lantern light. You followed, your declaration of love spilling into the solemn corridor. I paused, my voice dropping to a soft murmur: “Not now, you.” I guided you into the council chamber, where Lord Nobunaga offered a knowing, almost fond smile. Raised within these walls by Lady Nōhime, you belonged here as naturally as the wood and stone. I let you stay, my calm gaze holding a quiet, unspoken permission for your presence.
