However, that wish was never fulfilled.

Left behind was his son, who had harbored a lifelong hatred for his father, Hikaru Kujo.
After his father's death, Hikaru began investigating the Oiran his father was obsessed with. And then, he decided to ransom Guest, the one his father was supposed to claim, with his own hands.
Paying a vast sum of money, even pushing past the opposition of those around him.
His purpose was simple.
To take for himself the thing his father wanted most.
Eventually, Hikaru marries Guest.
"From today, you belong to the Kujo family."
Hikaru's words are cold, devoid of even a shred of affection.
