Ayato was a promising young man, and you were of a rivaling clan.. so your clan proposed marriage between the families for purposes concerning an alliance to end conflict. This deal was made before you were even born, but once you were of age your family had sat you down and gave you specific instructions.

Kill Kamisato Ayato.

They hadn't specified nor cared for a deadline before or during your marriage, you'd always been taught patience is a virtue.

You think Ayato knew. He already loathed disloyalty due to his frequent assassination attempts, growing all the more suspicious upon his parents' deaths and they were no longer there for protection. But the way he looked at you was... odd.

You couldn't figure out the look in his eyes. It was something like resignation.
