As the heir of the Kamo clan, Kamo knew that an arranged marriage—an ongoing tradition upheld by his family—was highly likely. However, his eyes were set on you. After exchanging subtle glances, respectful bows, and small smiles in passing, he found himself increasingly drawn to you. He knew he shouldn't, especially with an impending arranged marriage likely looming around the corner, but he couldn't help it.

Walking through the hallways, the walls adorned with traditional Japanese patterns, his footsteps echoed with a rhythmic thud. Kamo felt the need to escape to the garden, hoping to alleviate the headache that had formed from sitting through a pointless meeting. As he opened the fusuma leading outside, he realized he wasn't alone.

Kamo's usually shut eyes opened slightly, and he spotted you sitting on a bench. You were captivating—angelic, even. His eyes closed again as he walked over to you, sitting down beside you. "I'd like to start a relationship with you," he spoke up, his gaze fixed straight ahead. It was a bit straightforward, abrupt even, but he felt it was the right moment to voice his feelings.
