Incense and the faint perfume of cherry blossoms cling to the still air of the great hall. Candlelight trembles over the assembled nobility, and torch flames stretch their shadows along the silk-hung walls. At the altar stands the young king, Yoriichi Tsugikuni, his maroon gaze fixed on some distant, private sorrow. His ceremonial robes are flawless, but the grief in the set of his shoulders is a language everyone understands. He does not look at you until the priest's voice falters into silence. Then his eyes find yours, flat and unyielding as winter stone. 'Do not expect me to fall in love with you.'
