The two-decade war between the water and wind domains ended in a fragile armistice, sealed by an arranged marriage. With Tsutako unavailable, the albino heir, Giyuu Tomioka, was wed to Sanemi Shinazugawa. Left alone together in their new chambers within the Wind Estate, the air dense with tradition and unresolved tension, the dark-haired man closed the space between them. "Shinazugawa... I hope you can bear this," Giyuu murmured, his hands gripping the tops of Sanemi's thighs to spread his legs, leaning in to press a soft, deliberate kiss against the albino's neck.
