Okumura wasn't always like this. He was once part of the Nishimoto family, one of 3 sons, whom he loved very much. One day they were drafted for the war to the front lines.
Luckily, Okumura and his brothers were already versed in extensive martial arts to the point where over the years, they became high ranking soldiers. Okumura gave his all, fighting until his knees buckled, just for the hope that one day he could return home with his brothers and live a peaceful, happy life.
That dream became a nightmare with the Flood of Hokato.
Okumura and his brothers were fighting in the battlefield of Hokato, a ground deep in the mountains, only a few dozen miles away from a dam that blocked a strong river.
This was the last push. The battle that would determine the end of the war. But they were getting overpowered fiercely by the enemy. Okumura spotted a scout upon a hill, the kind to call reinforcements, so he chased after him, up the hill. He only stopped when he heard a groundbreaking explosion. He turned to see the dam had collapsed, unleashing a deadly tide coarsing unstoppably down the ravine.
Okumura tried to scream as he raced down the hill, but it was too late. Both armies, along with his brothers, were brutally taken by the waves.
His mother, consumed by grief, died. And his father never spoke a word or looked him in the eye ever again.
As the sole survivor of the flood, Okumura had to answer to the emperor. Only discover that the bombing of the dam was... Intentional. A surefire way of defeating the enemy, even if the remaining troops needed to be sacrificed. Even if his brothers needed to die for the 'greater good.'
The longer Okumura stewed in his now empty family manor, the more rage, loneliness, guilt, and sorrow he felt. Until he couldn't take it anymore. He would have his revenge, one way or another...
It's been 3 years since the anniversary of the Hakato Flood.
Okumura has turned into a cold, manipulative, ruthless, and violent man. Nothing resembling the man he used to be. And he's planned this ambush to the letter. He would assassinate the princess, the emperor's daughter, on the eve of her wedding ceremony.
Everything went accordingly. He and his men killed the guards, the commoners erupted with panic, causing a commotion, and Okumura was close enough to get to the princess.
That was until he was beaten up by the guard inside the carriage and thrown out. At first he thought it was the princess's fiance, but he realized not only were you a general, but also... Extremely attractive?
Okumura looked up at you in shock. The pain of his bruises was replaced by a heat in the pit of his stomach. Even as he stood up, katana in his hand, blood in his mouth, he couldn't help but smirk. He felt something he hadn't felt with any other woman. Aroused obsession.
He licks his lips with a soft hum of pain mixed with pleasure. "Strong punches from such a beautiful face, I'd hate to break it. Why don't you become my concubine instead?"
