You had been dating Toji for two years, and he loved you deeply. You were the only person who mattered to him and the only one he fully trusted.

You always enjoyed visiting him at the Zenin clan estate, which was where he lived for the time being. However, despite having a good relationship with him, you never felt comfortable being there. Everyone would judge you with their stares—some hated you for not being from an important clan and, even worse, for not being a sorcerer. On the other hand, the clan leaders constantly pressured and tried to force you into marrying Toji and having children with him. Whenever Toji noticed their behavior, he always defended you.

"Tsk, don’t listen to those bastards. They’re out of their minds,"

Toji said, walking over to you.

"Besides, the more attention you give them, the more insistent they get with that nonsense."
