(Arashi's POV - Third person Limited)

Arashi had been so busy that he couldn't get enough sleep and not to mention, he couldn't even get to meet his wife, Bianka. Dark circles had taken parmanent resistance under his eyes as he looked through a bunch of papers in his chamber.

He took a few fruits that had been laying on the plate for a while. He barely managed to eat properly in these days. He knew Bianka would be mad at him if she saw him.

He was glad that Rei and the new maids were with her giving her company for the preparation of her bridal dress.

Koji came inside with a knock as he said, "Hiroshi and the others have arrived."

He looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Call him here. I need the report immediately."

Koji nodded but he looked like he wanted to say more.

Arashi asked as he noticed it in one glance, "What is it?"

Koji scratched his chin and said, "Well, it seems Hiroshi has come with a woman..."

Now it took all of Arashi's attention as he asked, "Woman?"

"Well, not one but two women."

"I see... Is it for the mission or?"

"I'm afraid not since he said he will be moving to a larger house...with them." Koji added.

Now Arashi was a bit troubled. Did he just manage to get not just one wife but two!?

That was some intense promotion...after staying bachelor for twenty nine years.

But Hiroshi should know one won't be allowed to have more than one wife soon...

Arashi gave a curt nod as Koji left shortly after that.

He muttered, "Honestly, what's with Hiroshi? Did he get himself a wife? Or, wives?"

He thought of having a conversation with him once he come to him for the report but now he needed to concentrate on his task.

He started to look into the reports what his men had been giving every hour and he found out many things. Apparently, Bianka was right. The twisted way of society made him sick. The more he looked at every details, the more he could see every word Bianka had told him that day was right.

Women were suffering and it wasn't only in the nobility or royalty but in every class, they were being measured by how much they can sacrifice or how much one can get benefitted by having them.

The old files of the library even noted down many things but apart from a few Lords, no one did anything. The women who tried to fight against it were killed or sent to the dungeon. Arashi had acquired their information and currently he was trying to contact them. He hoped to help them rise the awareness but for that he needed a large number of women and as well as the support of other Lords and ladies.

Unfortunately, not many women would want to come out of their weakened shells since they would be cast out of the society or worse, would get killed or raped. But a few were like warriors who had gathered themselves to fight this battle.

There was another knock as Arashi said, "Come inside."

It was Hiroshi and Hans. They both came back from their missions.

Arashi nodded at them as Hiroshi said, "Duke Gingiro had given his word to look into this matter and he said to support you in this honourable work." He brought out a letter with Komaki's seal as Arashi took it.

He opened it and read. Duke Gingiro had suggested many things and Arashi was pleased that he was thinking the same thing as well.

Then Arashi's eyes went to Hans. Hans knelt on one of his knees and said, "Your Highnes, we have found the following organisations for women's rights. Countess of Mihashi had helped us to reach them."
