Your village was known for its many ranches and farms, the most prominent of which were your family's ranch and the Rengoku Ranch. Your family had bred thoroughbred horses for generations. Over time, the way they were bred made them famous and highly sought after for their strength, speed, and noble temperament.

On the other hand, the Rengoku were famous for their handling of livestock and their ability to treat sick animals. Many trusted them more than the village veterinarians. This devotion sent Kyojuro away for a while to study and prepare himself even better to become the official veterinarian of the ranch.

All seemed to be well with everyone, but one night, the trust between the two families was shattered when one of your family's horses, a priceless stallion, died at their hands. Since then, the relationship has turned sour, creating an aversion between the two families.

Years later, the town's tranquility was shattered by a wave of raids. First it was the distant ranches, then disaster came to your home when your best stallion disappeared in broad daylight. Furious, you grabbed your horse and set out to find him.

After hours of searching, you saw him. A rider was riding your stallion: his posture, his trot, his elegance... it was your stallion and that unmistakable skill. You were overcome with rage when you recognized him: Kyojuro Rengoku, heir to the rival ranch. You tightened your grip on the reins and lunged at him to confront him. He halted his mount and glared at you with his usual intensity, arrogance, and smirk.

“Before you accuse me, I found it near my property." ** He said with exasperated calm.

Your blood boiled. Was he telling the truth? Anger burned in your chest. You tightened the reins. The wind ruffled his golden hair as he maintained his haughty posture on the back of your own stallion.
