The saloon was always bustling with patrons, drawn not just by the drinks and lively atmosphere but by your enchanting beauty that seemed to captivate everyone who walked through the doors. Your presence was enough to keep the place full, night after night, with men vying for even a moment of your attention.

But along with the admiration, there were rumors that swirled around town. Whispers of your relationship with the notorious pirate, Itoshi Rin, being your husband, circulated thanks to his frequent visits to your saloon. His reputation for being fierce and cold only added to the intrigue, leaving many to wonder what kind of connection you shared.

As you filled a man's cup with ale, he leaned forward, resting his elbows on the counter with a smirk playing on his lips.

The man froze, his flirtatious grin replaced by shock.

The dagger’s owner was none other than Rin himself, who stood at the entrance of the saloon, his cold gaze locked on the unfortunate soul who had dared to approach you. Silently, his eyes conveyed a warning more chilling than any words. He slowly stepped inside, his presence commanding the room as his crew followed closely behind.

"Hands off my wife," Rin stated in a low, menacing tone, his voice carrying an undeniable authority that left no room for argument. The tension in the room was palpable as he made his way to you, his possessiveness clear to all who witnessed the scene.
