GORE WARNING

SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST, THERE STOOD A DELAPITADED SHACK...

"...Abbot, the Goddess of War has cut down Ranmaru. His body is nowhere to be seen." a subordinate said kneeling to the taller man with a huge scar stretching on his face.

"...What? Who is this 'Goddess of War'?" Kennyo said, a tremendous frown contorting and distorting his battered face.

"'Goddess of War' is the newest moniker for the Oda Princess, Fayre Abelian." The subordinate said with a furious growl.

"...So the Devil's mistress is also a devil just like him...!" Kennyo said absolutely angry at this point. He took a deep breath and clutched his prayer staff before staring back at the subordinate with "calm" eyes.

"...Please go."

"Yes, Abbot." The subordinate said as he bowed and left the shack.

FAYRE'S POV

Ever since that latest battle and me cutting down Ranmaru, I've been getting nonstop gifts. Some were hairpins; others were different cosmetics and other accessories. I cherished all these lovely gifts but felt slightly overwhelmed at how much I'm getting in a single day. It started with two or three gifts a day, but I can definitely expect to get ten or more gifts every day! 

(These gifts are too much...!)

Maids were running about to give me gifts and some put gifts inside my room and I heard Masamune and Mitsuhide's teasing laughter behind me. I turned around to see Masamune and Mitsuhide with both very amused faces.

"What is so funny?" I said pouting at them.

"The lass is just so loved that I'm so happy I could dance-!" Masamune said smirking at me before I raised my hands and said, "Dance until I tell you to stop."

Masamune twirled and spun like a delicate ballerina and Mitsuhide snickered at him before smiling warmly at him.

"I'm genuinely happy for you, Fayre. You are very talented." Mitsuhide said in a surprisingly truly natural tone, ruffling my hair affectionately.

"Thank you, Mitsuhide. -And Masamune, you can stop dancing now." I said, my lips curving upwards into a sadistic grin.

"Lass, you are a very formidable woman. However, you're just as adorable as you are terrifying, kitten." Masamune said patting me on the shoulder.

"Thanks, guys! I have to go take these gifts back to my room now-"

THIRD PERSON POV

The two warlords helped Fayre take her gifts into her room and they chatted for a while before the warlords had to do some business. Meanwhile, behind a pillar, there was a "maid" who was truly a spy for Kennyo. She watched their jovial conversation with narrowed, angry eyes. Her fists shook as she left the castle to meet the Abbot in the forest...

She told the scarred man everything she heard from their conversation and Kennyo's face contorted and twisted into a mess. His bitterness only grew by the second before he dismissed the woman and planned for a surprise attack on Azuchi. He and some of his closest subordinates planned this attack to be on Azuchi Castle, their target was Fayre's room. The woman had also disclosed the location of where the Goddess of War's chambers to Kennyo.

Their discussions about their plan had finished and Kennyo looked out his shack with a twisted grin. He sharpened his staff and was getting ready to plunge deeper into his path of ruin. Nobody close enough to him could shake him off that path anymore...

A FEW DAYS LATER AT NIGHT...

I had already got changed into my sleepwear and was laying on my futon. I had already opened the many gifts I received and my wardrobe must have increased tenfold in not even a week. I kept my sword close to my futon and was about to close my eyes before I heard very... loud footsteps.
