Misuzu said.
Right
They don’t have a strong heart like Eri and Rie.
If you push them too hard, their heart will snap and break.
She needs to accept that she’ll become a prostitute without putting too much burden on her heart
That’s a complex situation.
Then, Jii-chan leaves the discussion to us.
We haven’t decided yet.
Uhm
Torii-san looked at me.
To begin with, can’t we just call off the plan where you turn Kurama-sama into a prostitute?
Well.
Like asking Kouzuki-sama right now.
Torii-san looked at Jii-chan drinking coffee, sitting together with Ruriko and Yoshiko-san.
That’s impossible
I said.
Kurama Misato-san’s fall into prostitution is the punishment for the Kurama house, that was Jii-chan’s decision
I told Torii-san.
Then, ask Kouzuki-sama to withdraw the punishment
Torii-san said. Misuzu.
Then, will Mariko-san be willing to pay off all the debts Kurama house is carrying for them?
She smiled.
Grandfather has to give out a harsh punishment to prevent other families like Kurama house from becoming spoiled from the help of Kouzuki house and other powerful families. If Kouzuki and Kaan house were to assist because Kurama house is from the nobility, and so other nobility should help them, then.
Yeah, more families like them will become spoiled and come one after another. Eventually, nobody can support other families anymore
I said.
Therefore, she must receive a harsh punishment, which is becoming a prostitute. It’s to prevent this from happening again
I understand that, but.
Torii-san looked at me.
Kurama Misato-sama has a fiance.
Huh?
She dreamt of marrying that man ever since she was young and yet, she’s going to become a prostitute, it’s just too much!
Oh, so that’s why Torii-san’s appealing for the release of the Kurama sisters.
However.
Mariko-san. You don’t get what it means to become a daughter of nobility, don’t you?
Misuzu sighs.
When the house decides who your marriage partner is, then you’ll marry that man. And when your family commits a sim, you’ll become a prostitute. Do you know how different those are?
That’s.
Both of them aren’t the choice of the daughter of nobility, have you ever thought that there’s no difference because you’re walking a life dictated by the family?
Torii-san.
But, one is marriage, and the other is prostitution
It’s the same. Your will is irrelevant, and your body is taken away
Misuzu said.
Better, she will only live as a prostitute for five years. But if she is to marry with a fellow nobility, she will have to endure it for the rest of her life
Can’t you get divorced?
Edie asks.
When it comes to marriage between fellow nobilities, and in addition to that, it’s a marriage ceremony between two head families, people from various circles will come, and they will celebrate. Recently, there are those who divorce, but they become a shame for the family. When Sakakihara-sama’s heir son divorced, he became disqualified from inheriting the family, and the second son inherited the clan. The eldest son is also dropped off from the senior management of the business group I see. Heads from the various noble families and leaders of political and business circles went to that wedding.
Then, the business partnership with the married wife’s family is all wiped off. The wife’s family also treats the woman as a defective item
Yeah, she’s married into the family to strengthen the connection between fellow nobility, and yet.
They divorced right away, it hurt the honor of their family.
Both families, the companies under their umbrella, each of the nobility and families connected to them, they’re all involved
Well, that’s a lot of trouble.
Marriage between fellow nobility has to hold smoothly to let both families and the families around prosper, and if it fails, it only causes misfortune to everyone
Misuzu said.
Furthermore, Kenmochi house, the family Misato-san is to marry probably already gave up on that topic
Why?
Torii-san asks.
Kenmochi house wishes to marry into the Kurama house whose business is centered on the Kurama Kaku. Now that Kurama Kaku is gone, they’re drowning in debt, and Kouzuki house glares at them, it’s no longer the Kurama house that they want The two families becoming blood relatives think of prospering each other’s business, and yet.
Kurama house failed in business, lost its long-established Kurama Kaku, and received a harsh punishment from Jii-chan.
They can never start talking about marriage with the Kurama house anymore.
Marriage between nobility isn’t as romantic as Mariko-san thinks
Misuzu said.
But, Misuzu, if I recall, you’re.
Misuzu also had a fiance.
But, that man wasn’t from nobility.
He was the eldest son of Shiba-san, the director of the Kouzuki group.
In my case, Kouzuki house doesn’t have any nobility where we need to have any blood relationship with
Oh right.
Kouzuki house, the noble among nobility is one of the three big houses.
We will have a blood relationship with any nobility through our branch families. There is no need to deepen our blood in other nobility than that. Rather, the internal side of Kouzuki house was having troubles until half a year ago Ruriko’s father made some moves behind the scenes to create factional infighting.
Therefore, Grandfather thought of such things to keep the solidarity of the group
As Shiba-san’s the top of the rising power, Jii-chan would someday hand the leadership to him, and have Misuzu marry his first son.
That was the plan.
But, thanks to Danna-sama’s efforts, everything is cleared off
Misuzu laughs.
Currently, Kouzuki group is unified, and so there’s no need to worry
To protect the family, Jii-chan watched his second son die.
Shiba-san and all the other directors are working as one.
The branch family of Kouzuki house and their groups are no longer fighting each other as Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san all get along.
Above all, Misuzu has me by her side.
Jii-chan accepts my existence.
There will be no more fuss.
Then, there’s no need to worry about Kurama Misato-san’s fiance, right?
I confirmed with Misuzu.
Yes. It’s okay to forget him. Danna-sama
However.
But, I know.
Torii-san.
Misato-sama loves her fiance, Kenmochi Yuugo-sama
Is that true, Mariko-san?
Misuzu asks.
Since it’s Mariko-san, there’s a possibility that it’s just your assumption
I’m sure of this. I’ve seen it with my own eyes!
what did you see, Torii-san?
Misato-sama is embracing Kenmochi-sama!
Huh?
Where?
Misuzu asks.
Last week, in Kenmochi-sama’s hotel party, they were doing it on the waiting room
Torii-san said.
It was the start of the party and so there’s nobody in the waiting room. I was worried about New York’s stock prices and so I left the party to check my phone. Then, Kenmochi-sama and Misato-sama are both there, the two of them didn’t notice me because of the partitioning screen. However, I could see Misato-sama through the gaps The fiance left the party?
Then, Kenmochi-sama told Misato-sama, Our family is in trouble right now but don’t be discouraged and do your best. I will be your ally no matter what
Oh, I see.
Then, what happened next?
Misuzu asks.
Then, Misuzu-sama embraced Yuugo-sama. She embraced Kenmochi-sama with all her strength
Hmm, hmm.
I was so surprised by it.
To think that the shy Kurama Misato-san embraced her fiance.
That would be surprising.
I made a noise. Misato-sama was surprised that she escaped outside. Then, Kenmochi-sama told me Please keep what you saw a secret, and left the room as well
So that’s what happened.
Misuzu immediately looks at Rei-chan who is in the same table as us.
