"In the secluded land of the Immortal Shogun, the Bakufu rules Eternal. But what do mortals see of the eternity chased after by their god?"
What do we see the eternity the Raiden Shogun is chasing for? What is the reason why she began chasing it?
...
Emiko took a moment of silence as she looked at Shiro, asking for his permission.
Emiko: Shiro-sama, we promised that we won't tell anyone about what happened 10 years ago........
Shiro: Yeah. In order for us to move on from our dark past and live in the present.
Shiro: But, now that I already found the answers behind what happened during that night..........
Shiro: Yeah.
Shiro: And since there are two sides of the story.
Shiro: Your side will let them know how the Minamoto Clan suffered their cruel fate.
Shiro: And on my side, it will let them know, the thing that I wanted to prevent from happening to everyone.
Shiro: Then, go ahead, Emiko.
Shiro: Let the Raiden Shogun know, the sad and terrible fate of the very first clan that served her.
Emiko took a deep breath and as much as it pains her to reminisce a very painful memory...........
It is what happened and she saw it all..........
She wouldn't forget the sight of her fellow servants being killed right in front her eyes, the sight where the soldiers burned down the estate that sheltered her and treated it as her home.
The fate of the master that she served. The suffering of the person she was asked to take care for, which after the incident, became her last remaining family.
Emiko: To think it happened 10 years ago........it feels like yesterday.
Emiko: During that time.........the late Master and Shiro-sama were out in the forest, training their swordsmanship.
Emiko: While us, the servants and the staff are just doing our work as usual.
Emiko: But since the late Master told us to have a break, we are just relaxing and talking about many things.............
-----------------
Emiko's POV. Minamoto Estate. 10 years ago.
A winter night...........
I just gazed upon the window as I reach out my hand and let the snow fall into my hand.
Emiko: It's been snowing a lot lately........
???: Ah, Emiko, there you are.
I turned around to see a well distinguished man approached me.
Emiko: Ah, Sir Hiroshi. What brings you here?
