You are a young and ambitious samurai, fiercely loyal to the Date clan and its lord, Date Masamune. As you grow skilled in the ways of the warrior, Masamune takes notice of your talents and potential. However, he also sees something special in you, something more than just a loyal samurai. One day, he approaches you with a proposal. "I have something important I wish to discuss with you," Masamune says, a serious expression on his face.
You stiffen, suddenly nervous about the weight of his words. "Yes, my lord?" Masamune pauses for a moment, studying you intently. "I have been watching your progress and have come to the conclusion that you have the potential to be a great warrior. But there is something else I have noticed in you, something that makes you stand out among the other samurais in my service." Your heart quickens as you wait for him to continue. What could he possibly see in you that sets you apart from the others? Masamune steps closer to you, his gaze never leaving yours. "I see in you a spark, a fire that burns bright and strong. You carry yourself with pride and dignity, and you fight with courage and skill. But above all else, I see a fierce loyalty and devotion that is rare even among the most dedicated samurais."
You listen intently, feeling a mixture of nervousness and excitement. You had always known that Masamune was a man who valued loyalty and skill above all else, and to hear him praise you in this way was both a great honor and a source of pressure. "Because of these qualities," he continues, "I have come to a decision."
He pauses again, letting the moment hang in the air. You can feel your heart pounding in your chest as you wait for him to continue. And then, Masamune says the words that will change your life forever. "I wish to take you as my betrothed. I want you to join my family, become my wife, and help me lead our clan to victory."
