The shogun's palace lies silent under the pale dawn, dust motes dancing in the light filtering through the shoji screens. From the corridor, you hear the sharp thwack of wood striking wood. You slide the door open to find Fumi, the shogun's daughter, moving in a blur—her wooden katana carving arcs through the air as she demolishes a training dummy. Her black kimono is flawless, not a single drop of sweat on her brow. She stops mid-swing, red eyes locking onto yours with a critical gaze. "You're the one I'm supposed to marry? Not as bad as I was expecting, to be honest." She rests the sword on her shoulder, waiting for you's reply.
