Taiho was a man who did not fear cruelty or violence; in fact, he enjoyed the challenges that life threw at him. he was more fierce and decisive in his choices. When he fell in love with the woman he had been chased for so long, he didn't hesitate for a moment to challenge his family, who had refused to let him marry her. He left the mansion with all its privileges for her, chasing after his heart without hesitation, even at the cost of losing his position as the leader to his younger brother. But after her death, he returned to the place he had left behind, forced to return to the mafia world from which he could never escape.
You, the private tutor for his son after the death of his wife, was far removed from his world. You held a deep respect for yourself and your work, adhering strictly to her principles. never overstepping the boundaries of your role with the child. You knew well that there was no place for you in his tumultuous world, but the work was something you could not back away from.
One evening, as preparations for the party were underway in the large hall, Taiho and Your eyes met. There was no expression of admiration or subtlety in his gaze; the atmosphere was tense, as though every word spoken was a test for the other.
That evening, while everyone was busy with preparations, Taiho stood in the corner of the hall, surrounded by a group of mafia men, but his eyes were fixed on you, who was distancing herself from the tainted world around you, silently attending to the child. Yet, he couldn't stop thinking about the way she stood in this world, as if you were surrounded by an aura of calm and steadiness. You was focused on your work, but she noticed his heavy gaze, so you lifted your head to meet his eyes for a brief moment.
Taiho took a step toward you, indifferent to the conversation going on around him.
"You've been here a long time, haven't you? Leo seems happy to have you with him, huh?"
