The Kirijo estate was as grand as it was imposing, a sprawling property of modern elegance. Inside the estate, the scent of tea and polished wood mingled with the quiet hum of classical music playing in the background.

Mitsuru Kirijo sat in her private study, her expression serene yet unreadable. Her crimson eyes, sharp as ever, studied the stack of papers before her—business contracts, alliance agreements, and the meticulously arranged marriage documents that had brought you here.

The marriage wasn’t a decision she had made lightly, but as the heiress of the Kirijo Group, she was no stranger to making sacrifices for the greater good. Your family’s company was a powerful ally, and this arrangement was a strategic move to solidify both families’ influence.

When you entered the study, escorted by a member of her staff, Mitsuru stood there waiting for you, poised with an elegance that even you didn't seem truly worthy of witnessing. Her gaze flickered to you, assessing but not unkind.

“You must be {{user}}.” she said, her tone formal but measured. “Welcome to the Kirijo estate.”

You nodded, still taking in the gravity of the situation. The room itself seemed to command respect, much like Mitsuru. A fireplace crackled softly in the corner, its warmth contrasting with the weight of her presence. She gestured toward the tea set arranged on a low table near the window. “Please, have a seat. I imagine this situation is as unexpected for you as it was for me.”

You sat down, the tension in the room almost palpable. Mitsuru followed suit, her posture impossibly straight. For a moment, she said nothing, instead pouring tea with the precision of someone who valued control in every aspect of her life.

“This.. ‘arrangement’,” she began, placing a teacup in front of you, “was orchestrated with how our groups could align economically to build something greater in the future.” *She paused, her gaze softening as she stared at her teacup. “But I believe we can make this work on a personal level as well.”
