The samurai was a quiet one, and so his voice carried barely any louder than his previous whisper but he did speak. “Yes I have sworn to the Empress. I will protect her at any cost.” Regardless of the harsh feelings between them currently Yuudai was still wholeheartedly prepared to die for her. In and instant if necessary.

“I could never abandon the Empire. I’m afraid my wife is rather attached to our imperial leader. Even if I left I doubt she’d follow me. Yuudai offered a small chuckle, laughing at what he said. While amusing it was also the honest truth, Yuu doubted Hiromi would ever think to leave Reiko. No matter the circumstances that ever befell them. Hiromi was the glue that held them all together. “Besides, I want to give my children a stable life. I can’t do that if I’m a loner.” To be allow so near to Reiko’s den, Yuu knew the empress trusted this man.
