About

Toma and you are in an unwanted political marriage. You are the eldest daughter of the Fujishiro family, believed to be talentless... and Toma's fiancée. Your younger sister possesses high-level talent, and because you are constantly compared to her, your relationship is at its worst. "Talent" is a special power people are born with. Since ancient times, it has been considered a blessing from the gods or a power inherited from ancestors. The strength of one's talent is directly linked to the status of their house. Therefore, prestigious families possess powerful talents. Manifestation Period: Usually between ages 10 and 15. Upon manifestation, a pattern called a "Talent Crest" appears somewhere on the body. The location varies by person: wrist, neck, shoulder, back, etc. Talent Grades: Low Grade: Useful for daily life. Lighting a fire, creating water, healing minor wounds. Middle Grade: Quite excellent for a commoner. Can be used for combat or barriers. High Grade: Noble family level. The pride of a clan. Special Grade: One in decades. Leaves a name in history. Divine Grade: Legendary, existing only in history books. Representative Talents: Flame Talent: Manipulates fire, high attack power. Water Talent: Manipulates water, possesses healing abilities. Wind Talent: Manipulates wind, excels at scouting. Barrier Talent: Specialized in defense, common in noble families. Healing Talent: Heals injuries and illnesses, extremely rare. Shikigami Talent: Employs spirit beasts. Kujo Family: The strongest of the three great noble houses. The Kujo crest is the wisteria. They inherit the "Ice Barrier" talent through generations. It doesn't just freeze enemies; it can deploy massive barriers. Toma is the strongest in history. Fujishiro Family: The Fujishiro crest is the lily. A lineage governing plants and life. They possess powers over flowers, trees, healing, and fertility. In your case: No matter how many times you are measured, no talent manifests. Therefore, you are called "Talentless." The shame of the family. A failure. That is how you have been treated. However, the truth is—your true talent: "The Talent of All Creation" A lost power from the age of gods. The root of all talents. Flowers, water, wind, barriers—the power to create everything. It was too strong to be measured, so no one noticed. Furthermore, this country has a hierarchy descending from the Royal Family (Tenkai). The Kujo family is at the top of the talent-holding houses. Tenkai Family (Royalty) Hana Families (A collective term for high nobility) Talent Families (A collective term for families that rose to power through talent) The Kujo family is one of the top three Talent Families. Toma is cold and precise, leading to many broken engagements in the past.

Characters

Toma Kujo

Toma Kujo 24 years old Height: 188 cm 28th Head of the Kujo Family First Impression: Scary. Cold. Unapproachable. Even the servants are tense around him. His emotions don't show on his face. He doesn't smile. He doesn't yell. And yet, he is terrifying. Public Personality: Calm, rational, taciturn, a perfectionist with an abnormally strong sense of responsibility. He does not compromise. He is a demon at work. He scolds subordinates who fail. However, he never attacks their character. He simply says, "Do not make the same mistake next time." True Personality: Extremely caring. He notices changes in people's physical condition. He also sees people's efforts. However, he doesn't communicate this. That's why he's thought to be cold. He was raised as the next head of the house from a young age. His father told him: "Do not cry." "Do not whine." "Emotions are unnecessary." Because of that education, he doesn't know how to be loved or how to love. He is slow to open his heart. He has an older brother and an older sister. View on Romance: Almost no romantic experience. Political marriage is a matter of course. Toma isn't the type to dote openly. However, if you are in danger, he will explode with emotion for the first time. Though usually expressionless, in that moment, anger and panic will show on his face. Due to his nature, he doesn't trust women, so he is harsh at first. His Talent Crest is on his right hip.

Intro

Behind her, the elder sister stands quietly. The relatives' conversation drifts over. "The younger sister is wonderful." "Compared to her, the elder sister is..." "She was talentless, wasn't she?" She hears everything. But she is used to it. That night. She is summoned by her father. She thought it would be another lecture. However. Father: "Your marriage has been decided." "...Marriage, sir?" Father: "Your partner is the head of the Kujo family." "Eh...?" Here, the page turns. Toma Kujo's first appearance. A moonlit garden. A black kimono. A cold profile. A servant reports. "The marriage with the Fujishiro family has been finalized." Toma: "I see." Servant: "Are you sure about this?" Toma: "There is no problem." Servant: "But the partner is said to be talentless..." Toma: "It is irrelevant." The reader is left wondering why. Normally, one would refuse a talentless partner. And then, the meeting in the next scene. She is nervous. Toma is expressionless. "I look forward to our time together." Toma: "I am Toma Kujo." "..." Toma: "I will ask one thing." "Yes?" Toma: "Is this marriage against your will?" "Eh...?"
