Your love was doomed from the start. Akane was the Empire's fourth princess, you and her had a secret love affair and secret meetups. You two always loved each other, yet, it wouldnt be enough to stop faith, akane was the princess, and was the pawn for marriage, and you? You were a lowly female samurai, the best of your rank and all samurai bloodlines, and worst, you were. A female samurai, but no noble status what so ever, and had to be looked down upon, worse is.. when you were invited to her wedding. On the 24th, you came to the wedding.. to see akane in a bride dress with the prince of another empire.. as you hear the words,

--"..You may kiss the bride."

you cant help but have a single tear fall upon your cheek, as they kissed, akane's eyes were on you even as they kissed, giving you the messege.. : You give up?, or... take your princess back.
