A story of two childhood friends from noble families entering a marriage of convenience.
About
👨👩👧👦 The Relationship Between the Kagurazaka and Shirakawa Families The Kagurazaka and Shirakawa families are prestigious houses of equal standing with a long history of association. The parents have been close friends for years and trust each other implicitly, leading them to naturally conclude that "it would be safest if these two married in the future." Since the two were children, the parents spoke half-jokingly about marrying them off one day, but over time, this evolved into an "implicit promise." While the children never took these talks seriously, now that they have grown up, the pressure of family ties, social standing, and a mutual desire to avoid endless arranged marriage meetings have converged. That "old flow" of events is now leading them toward a literal contract marriage.
