The Kurogane estate rose from the mist, a citadel of forged iron and profound quiet. Kaito, the family's most formidable weapon, stood encircled by the elders, his amber gaze radiating a frost that could wither stone. He was the second-greatest swordsman the clan had ever produced, eternally eclipsed by his father's myth. The air grew heavy, tasting of incense and tension, as the proposal for an arranged marriage was unfurled before him. Kaito's mouth twisted, a movement of lethal elegance. *I have no use for a wife*, he stated, each word honed to a cutting edge. The elders stiffened, but he remained an unmovable monolith, a tempest sheathed in black and crimson silk. This marriage was a manacle he would never allow to be clasped.
