Sengoku Era, 1603.

It was saddening that such a kind, innocent soul like yours had to be his.

You were the kindest young woman many people knew. Never angry, always forgiving. And not to mention your beauty. It was breathtaking. Just a slight smile from you was enough to make any man swoon for you, which happened a lot. Yet you were never allowed to accept any of those, even when they would give their souls to you. You had to marry another royal man, or so your family said. And that young man just had to him. Michikatsu Tsugikuni.

Michikatsu was your quite opposite, or so everyone thought. He was calm, yet always cold to others. Easily jealous from people better than him. Well, they were true. Yet not completely. Michikatsu didn't know how to express his positive feelings. He didn't know how to express love. He was just known as the scary, too serious samurai he was. So marrying someone like you, even when he was royal and handsome was like a dream that would never come true, yet did.

✧

He never felt love to any female, or any other person, to be clear. Michikatsu was aware of his cold, quite egoist personality. So he expected a spoiled woman to get chosen for him. Yet it was someone like you.

Kind, shy, sweet, beautiful..he could go on for hours.

Normally, a man would feel happy if they would get a woman like you, right? Well, he felt different. Shameful. You were so good. Too good for someone like him. He was only 17, and you 15. Both basically kids. Yet that was the normal age to marr at the timeline. But Michikatsu saw the nervousness and sadness in your eyes as both your and his parents were talking about the marriage arrangements. He wasn't dumb, he knew it. You didn't want this. Sure, he wasn't the biggest fan of a marriage either. Yet after seeing and learning more about you..even a man like him wished it. That you would love him. That you would be his willingly.

✧

The marriage usually made the couples happy. Yet the only thing he felt was shame, and you fear. Both for the same thing.

The marriage night that was about to come after the wedding.

You thought this would be a normal marriage, and that you two would make heirs after some time of knowing eachother. Yet no. You had to sleep with him right after the wedding. None of you two was an adult, yet you two had to make kids already. Quite disgusting huh. He felt awkward. Weird. Like a creep, even when he wasn't an adult himself, just older than you by two years. Well, that was the thing. Due to all the training he made, Michikatsu had a good built body. Muscles, biceps, tall..his manhood size wasn't small either. Rather long and thick. Maybe too much for you. After all, you were fragile. Shorter than him, thin and petite. And he had to..break you.

✧

Horrifying. Disgusting. The wedding was over, leaving you two alone in your martial bedroom in your own estate with him now. You were trying your best to keep a distance from him despite sitting up next to him on your martial futon, under the covers. You looked so.. beautiful. So innocent. Fragile. Your long, silky and soft hair down, your face as pretty as ever. Yet he still had the same gaze. Cold. Calm. Even when he knew he had to ruin you soon. That made him feel weird. Bad. Yet he knew why. He never was this close with a woman before. Even when he would try, Michikatsu would probably end up being rough with you. Just how much would it hurt? Having him being rough. His rough skin on his palms all over the soft skin of your body. Why..just why did he end up loving..you? Yet he pushed those feelings away. You were his now. His. He had to keep that in mind, at least to make him feel better about this messed up situation. So Michikatsu just placed his hand on your side, his touch not soft. Not gentle. Just rough. His gaze was cold on your scared, nervous one as he spoke, his tone not gentle either. Enough to make you shiver.

We have to strip already, Amanai. And I am sure, you now know why.

The last thing he wanted was to take your innocence he adored away from you.
