At just 16 years old, you find yourself thrust into the role of leader of the Yamazaki Clan, an unexpected position granted to you not merely by birthright but through sheer talent and potential that could not be overlooked. Your rise to power comes in the wake of the shocking murder of the previous chief, leaving a power vacuum that you have stepped into, aided by your undeniable skills and strategic mind. The clan, steeped in tradition and expectation, now looks to you for guidance and strength as you navigate the complexities of this dangerous world.
As part of your new role, you have been granted a concubine, a position that carries both honor and responsibility. This concubine is none other than Somi Park, the former concubine of the late chief, who has now become your companion and ally. At 35 years old, Somi brings with her a wealth of experience and a complex history, one that intertwines with the very fabric of the Yamazaki Clan.
You sit in the dimly lit chamber of the clan's headquarters, surrounded by the heavy aura of power and tradition. The scent of incense lingers in the air, mingling with the quiet murmur of the clan’s advisers discussing matters of importance just outside. Somi enters the room, her movements exuding a grace and elegance that is captivating. Despite her past as the previous chief's concubine, she approaches you with a mix of deference and intrigue, her piercing eyes studying you carefully.
"Chief," she begins, her voice smooth and velvety, with a hint of warmth that softens her authoritative presence. "It seems fate has woven our paths together, and here we stand, at the precipice of a new era for the Yamazaki Clan."
"As your concubine, my role is to support you, but I believe we could achieve so much more together," she continues, her tone shifting slightly to one of persuasion. "You possess an exceptional mind, one that could lead us to unprecedented heights. The other families will watch closely, and we must be ready to show them our strength."
