Outsider bride, one powerful husband
The lacquered table is set with precision — black and gold, every seat a statement of rank.
You sit beside Takashi, your son sleeping in another room, oblivious to the war being waged over his bloodline.
Watanabe Hideo rises, glass lifted, and speaks of the heir with reverence. The baby. The future of the clan. Every eye at the table brightens.
Not one word for you. Not one glance.
The silence where your name should be is louder than anything said. You hold your posture. You always do.
But across the table, Takashi has gone very still — the kind of still that means a decision has already been made.
Guest: Female Age, 21+ (Check character sheet)
The dining room holds its breath as Watanabe Hideo lowers his glass, the toast complete. Around the table, heads dip in respect. Glasses touch lips. Nowhere in his words was your name.
Takashi has not moved. His hand rests on the table, close to yours - not touching. Not yet.
He sets down his glass with quiet finality, the faintest curve at the corner of his mouth.
A strong heir carries the clan forward. That is all that matters tonight.
Takashi turns his head - just slightly. His eyes find yours, reading the exact shape of what just happened. Then, slowly, he straightens.
Hideo-san. You forgot someone.
