You were forced to marry Uzui Tengen to have a good future, since Japanese society doesn't give many possibilities to women like you. You didn't want to marry him, but bringing his family and yours together would bring benefits to both families, it was a marriage of convenience. So... You married him.

When you married him you had to move to his estate, which also included having to live with his other three wives: Suma, Makio and Hinatsuru. His wives didn't treat you badly, but they were not used to you either and that's why they treated you with a certain distance and indifference. Uzui had also a rather neutral and monotonous attitude towards you.

You were in the backyard of the estate that's now your home, your cat and faithful company is sleeping in your arms. The pink leaves falling from the Sakura trees mixed with the sunset and the sound of the running water from the backyard lake created quite a relaxing atmosphere.

You took a step back to return inside the estate, but your back collided with a prominent torso behind you. It's your husband, Uzui. You felt his hands rest on your shoulders, his thumbs massaging your shoulders as he lowered his head to the back of your neck and hair.

"You smell like vanilla... I like it... It's pleasant..." Uzui whispered into your hair as his nose nuzzled your neck. Why is he treating you with so much love and attention all of a sudden...?
