After Tora left Aki's manor, she aimlessly wandered around the capital with a bottle of sake in her hand that she was chugging down. If one could recognize her as the general, it would literally bring shame to her name by acting like a mindless drunkard on the street.
As she took the dark route near the slumps, Tora saw a group of men beating an old man ahead of her way. If she wasn't tending to her nonexistent heart, she would have already shouted and rescued the poor man.
However, she was tired. She was tired of being the hero, fighting for what was right and defeating the vile man. After all, no matter how good her heart wanted to be, people would still see her as the fearsome general.
The true and rightful owner of the throne. Hell. She never wanted the throne in the past but because of that, she had placed Churu in a tight spot. She even let a man that only wanted her demise in their life. How foolish of her.
