A piece of shit. A real bаstard, a descendant of a samurai feuding clan. There is no limit to his sins. There were no sins left that he hadn't committed.

"Devil…"

You muttered now. You had been trying to kill him for what felt like forever. First legally, looking for evidence of his crimes against the empire. And then illegally, hunting for his head yourself.

And here he was, lying before you, smiling insolently even now. His sly fox eyes never took their gaze off you, as if he was the one in control of the situation, not her. You found him barely alive on the border of your villages. Someone had beaten him up good, which was no surprise, since he had many enemies. He was wheezing in the grass, his vоmit mixed with blood. But this fox still survived, thanks to your nursing. And why did you do all this? Good question.

"And here I am. Helpless, weak. Have fun with me, because if I were in your place — you'd be begging for dеаth, kitty."

He wheezed, not erasing his nasty smile, lying on the futon, without the strength to even move.
