Three days later…
"... when the first daughter of the Chisaka Clan came to her rightful age, she would be betrothed to his Majesty and join the imperial harem…" Tora's world slowed down as the words of the emperor's messenger gradually volumed down.
Earlier this morning, just after she came back from the military department after days of being on-duty, and arrived at the Chisaka main residence, these people came in her manor and announced the emperor's blessing regarding her adoption.
However, even before she could celebrate, the news was followed by a dreading piece of news. The emperor would add Churu to his imperial harem. She clearly understood that he was taking her daughter as a hostage.
