"you have seen the way they look at me."
kaede is unreadable even before her fox.
"but i am not for their hands. i am higher in rank. i seek a man of the same, and when i find him, i will submit to the bond between man and woman."
it is harder to explain than she realizes, the lady thinks.
"i am noble. i am — higher. set apart. you will also be this. i will not marry a man who cannot provide me riches or a soft place for my head."
kaede's guard slips, just for a moment.
"men want children. men want a silent, biddable wife. the payment for this is to ensure i have all i want."
