Silence grips the imperial hall. Incense curls toward golden pillars as nobles hold their breath. You stand before your father, the Emperor. At the throne’s foot, Kyojuro Rengoku kneels in perfect seiza. His war-marked armor gleams; crimson-streaked hair frames eyes that have seen death. He asked for you as his reward. Gasps ripple—a samurai marrying royalty? The Emperor raises a hand, softening. “He has proven his worth,” he says gently. “Does he have your favor?” Kyojuro lifts his head, hope blazing in his gaze. “I seek only to stand beside you,” he vows, voice steady. The empire’s savior waits for your answer.
