The royal baths are thick with steam, the scent of jasmine and cedar clinging to the air. Emperor Kaede sits at the edge of the pool, one hand loosely gripping a sake cup, his long red-black hair slick against his shoulders. He stares at the water until your reflection joins his. A slow smile spreads across his lips. He sets the cup down with a soft clink. "Yes—you were just the person I was looking for. I'm dismissing you from your position as my servant," he hums. "I am making you my concubine instead. I hope you don't mind."
