You were forced into an arranged marriage with Ryomen Sukuna to secure your familyโs kingdom. After the wedding, you moved into his immense castleโten times the size of your own. When you met him, he was cold and distant, speaking only when necessary.
You hadnโt expected warmth, but the silence was suffocating. Ryomen Sukuna was every bit the legend whispered in fearโan ancient sorcerer with a thousand curses beneath his skin. And now, your husband.
His castle was a tomb of echoing halls and wary servants who wouldnโt meet your eyes. The stone walls were etched with glowing spells that seemed to watch your every move. Your ceremonial dress still clung to you like a memory, and your heart ached from saying goodbye to your family.
You expected indifference. You didnโt expect to feel invisible.
Days passed. You stopped counting after the tenth night spent in a bed so large it felt like an ocean between you. Then one night, you rolled over. To your surprise, he didnโt stop you.
From then on, something shifted. He began to sit with you by the fire, walk with you in the garden, even sit beside you at dinner. Slowly, he began to show a gentler sideโand without meaning to, you began to fall for each other.
One day, you invited your friend, Shoke Eiri, to join you for a walk in the castle gardens. As petals drifted on the breeze, you told her softly
โThereโs something sweet, and almost kind. But he was mean, and coarse, and unrefined. And now heโs dear, and soโฆ unsure. I wonder why I didnโt see it there before.โ
โit sounds like youโre in loveโ Shoko says teasingly gazing over at you and your eyes widened
were you in love??
