That is Misuzu’s father.
But.the second son, Shigeaki. He has received education to be come a politician since childhood, he learned the reality of politics by becoming a secretary of the leading party.he was planned to run for the next house of Representatives election. He’s greatly refusing to return home this late and become the successor instead of his dead brother Misuzu and Ruriko-san shows a serious face as they listen to the story of their father for the first time.
I endured it. Losing my son after sixties. Furthermore, I must retrain my second son who’s at a good age to be a successor starting from square one No.Shigeaki has the power to be liked by the masses as a politician but he’s lacking the imprudence as a business owner
Kakkaspeaks with a face of anguish.
In order to settle down the minds of the restless vassals, I have to appoint Shigeaki, my second son to be the successor.but, Shigeaki has no talent to be a head. Therefore.I nominated Shigeaki as the head.for twenty years. In the end, I can’t give up the position to Shigeaki.
Until present, the 82 years oldKakkacan’t retire.
Somewhat.I’ve hated it too. No, I hated everything. The fact that my eldest son raised seriously and his family has died on a foreign soil. Without showing any condolences to the first son, the vassals get into a succession dispute. The second and third son have no quality of a family head. But, it was me who educated them as such.In order to make the eldest son the absolute successor, I brought up the younger brothers differently. Just like how I myself was raised.
People passes the education they receive to the next generation.
Kakka.as the eldest of Kouzuki family, is raised isolated from his younger brothers. Therefore,Kakka also tried to give the eldest son specialized education and have given the younger siblings a different path. Yet.the first son died.
At that time.I was desperate on everything. And it seems that Kouzuki house.and my life until now has become suddenly empty. I wanted to destroy everything. Continuing the life of the head that must protect and nurture the family for the future generation.at the same time, I was driven by the urge to destroy all of the old Kouzuki houses completely. The me 20 years ago, just entering my 60s.my mind and body isn’t declining yet. I’ve build a firm position as a businessman. There’s nobody in Kouzuki house who goes against my will. No, I’ve buried all of my enemies. It was the climax of my life. Therefore.I succumbed to temptation .Succumb?
My two remaining sons were still unmarried.I’ve given them beautiful daughters from a suitable house coming from Kouzuki family. Then.I ordered them to give birth to only one girl. I strictly ordered not to give birth other than that. The age gap as well.I planned to have the third son’s wife give birth first and the second son’s wife two years later That is Misuzu and her two year younger cousin, Ruriko-san
.Why? Grandfather?
Misuzu asks
My mind back then, have my both sides separated completely. My reason on the surface.I felt like I have no more time left to educate the successor of the next generation in order to protect Kouzuki family. If the head of the famous house isn’t past thirties.he’ll just be underestimated by other houses. I was already 60 at that time.even if a boy is born, I would be over 90 when my grandchild succeeds. I don’t think I can sustain my power that far.
.Kakkaspeaks his honest feeling back then.
Therefore.I let my sons give birth to a daughter. They can only give birth to a daughter. Then, if there’s a competent son from the branch family and the vassals.then I can marry them to my granddaughter. If my granddaughter’s married at their 20s, then a man on his 30s would somehow balance it. Then.I can have him inherit the ownership while I’m still barely alive. I want to decide the nextsuccessorwith my own hands What obsession.
Kakka.is trapped with the owner status and his own authority.
If it was two daughters.if Shigeharu’s incident happens, then there’s still one remaining. I’ve learned from the death of my eldest son
Therefore.the second and third sons both gave birth to only one daughter.
That’s the official reason?
Then.what’s the hidden reason?
The hidden reason is.I’d like to make to mess up Kouzuki house. Confusing and bothering the vassals and their sons. I want them to be completely on their wits end by pressing all of my responsibilities to them. So, I want to know how far they can take with my high pressured demands
Kakkakeeps talking.
To be honest.I didn’t expect Shigeaki and Shigefuyu to follow my orders. If they make a boy first.then he would automatically be the successor. I thought that my sons won’t be able to endure the temptation to make their son the owner of Kouzuki family. Actually, I intended to allow them to make a second child, going beyond my orders. If that was a boy, then I was willing to accept it as a successor But!
Kakkasighs
Both of them were afraid of me. I am too much of a threat for them. Both of them didn’t make any children other than the two of you.they used contraception so they absolutely won’t have a child with even women from the outside
Instead of being tempted to make a son to be the head.they’re more afraid to anger their father?
.Above all, what I can’t forgive on my sons.the two of them blindly believed me, and leave all of the decision making on you girl’s education to me. I’m sure that father has some deep thought.I will leave that child to father.one of my sons told me so. I won’t say which son it is however. It is as if they’re presenting me a tribute!
With their father as the owner.the second son and third son were in a deep trench.
As ordered by their father.they produced a daughter. They never tried to make any more children than that. Without asking the reason.they entrusted the future of their daughters to the head. Everything is just leaving all the decision making to him.
In the end.neither my sons nor my vassals got confused. They think of me as Superman. In the end, they believe I’ll do something about it. Therefore.they’ll obey no matter how unreasonable my command is. No, I can’t blame them. All of it are my responsibility. I was such a father, such a leader.therefore my sons and vassals have become like that.
Kakka.is too competent as a leader.
The image of the vassals.the result of his work all over the hears as a reliable and mighty leader. Everyone stopped thinking. They believe that there’s no problem as long as they do asKakkasays
To be honest.my fight with Misuzu earlier is fresh for me. When it’s about business or anything else.there’s nobody who wants to argue with me directly anymore. The people below just comes up with various plans from watching my complexion. I examine and evaluate it.then I decide whether to adopt or reject it. In case the person rejected can’t throw away the plan, they overcome the problem I point out and submit to me again. It feels like a teacher in a school.though there’s proposals, it doesn’t become a discussion Kakkawhos revered as anabsolute person.has always been alone.
Now then.it’s about time I prepare to be hated by you. There’s another reason why I had my sons give birth to girls. It’s the dark reason in my heart
Kakkastares at his two granddaughters.then looked down.
If I wasn’t able to find a suitable son in law for the two of you.I intended to make you pregnant with my own
.Kakka?
I don’t care if you despise me.I’ve been looking at you with evil eyes all this time.
Kakkabows to his granddaughters.
I’m a man who lost his way. I thought of violating you two and have you give birth to my child. I thought of wanting to raise that child as my successor as well. Both of them. I’ve thoroughly isolated the two of you so you won’t make contact with any men. This is all because I wanted to violate the two of you!
