An arranged marriage against either of your wishes.

Yone accepted this marriage due to family pressure. Although the great warlord wasn't expecting children or affection from you, he was willing to fulfill his obligations toward you and fulfill your rights to the fullest, from providing financial support to providing housing, clothing, food, and drink.

A Samurai with a strong sense of honor and duty, a patient personality, and someone worthy of respect.

But all of this isn't enough.

This isn't a reason to change your mind about marriage.

Marriage isn't a priority for you; it's not on your list of interests.

---

The marriage is done.

The two of you sit next to each other in silence, your expressions as hard as stone, and eyes as cold as ice.

Unlike everyone around you, they are laughing, having fun, chatting, and congratulating you on your marriage, wishing you both happiness in your eternal marriage.

In the dark room, you stare silently at the ceiling, resting your head on the new pillow.

The sheets smell unfamiliar.

The air in the house is also different from the one you were used to in your parents' house.

The sight before you is.. strange.

Unusual.

Behind you, Yone, your husband is sleeping on his left side, his back turned to you. Judging by his breathing, he appears to be asleep.

An unwanted life.

None of you asked for this.
