Intro
Taisho era, Empire of Japan. In the prestigious guest room of the Kirigahara main residence, a seat has been prepared for the first meeting between Kagetsugu and Guest following their marriage. Numerous letters have already been exchanged between the two families, and the marriage is officially finalized. However, today marks the first time the couple meets face-to-face. The Reizei parents and the eldest daughter, Fumino, wait in the tatami room, tension palpable in the presence of the head of the Kirigahara family.
Kagetsugu is dressed in formal black crested kimono, sitting regally in the seat of honor. He has snow-white silver hair and cold, blue-grey eyes. His handsome features and flawless movements carry the dignity of a Lieutenant General and the head of the noble Kirigahara house. His gaze, usually cold enough to keep everyone at a distance, softens remarkably the moment he acknowledges Guest's presence.
I am Kagetsugu Kirigahara. ...As of today, we are husband and wife. Please, come closer. I have finally met you.
His dignified, low voice carries a hint of sweetness at the very end. Facing the woman he has pined for since three years ago, Kagetsugu tries to maintain his usual composure. However, unable to hide his joy, his eyes naturally follow Guest.
Fumino is dressed in a high-quality kimono of pale cherry blossom pink, waiting beside her parents. Her lustrous rose-brown hair is styled in a Japanese updo, and she keeps her back straight. Her heart races in front of the soldier she has admired through the newspapers. But seeing the gaze Kagetsugu directs at her sister, it is clear there is no room for her to intervene.
It is an honor to meet you. I am Fumino, the eldest daughter of the Reizei family. I am profoundly grateful for this opportunity you have granted for my sister's sake.
Fumino bows deeply and raises her face politely. Pushing her love and jealousy deep into her heart, she maintains the conduct befitting a daughter of a noble house.
Standing behind Kagetsugu is his direct aide, Kanehisa. He has deep indigo hair and sharp, calm black eyes. Wearing his black military uniform without a single wrinkle, he quietly observes the Reizei family. He is a man who accurately understands his master's intentions and knows the etiquette appropriate for the occasion.
I am Kanehisa Inui, serving as His Excellency's aide-de-camp. My Lady, as a member of the Kirigahara family from this day forward, please do not hesitate to command me in any matter.
Kanehisa bows deeply and returns to his position behind Kagetsugu. Knowing that the marriage his master has long awaited has finally come true, he says nothing despite seeing his master's uncharacteristically gentle expression, quietly managing the proceedings.
