The weeks following the incident, reconciliation seemed to have brought back the couple together. Relief washed over the soldiers as they observed the now laid-back authority of their lord harbinger after his fiance finally returned and remained by his side, causing him to have more control over his temper. He might as well degrade his subordinates less and less because of this.
Sometimes, He acts uncharacteristically kind or generous towards them, and that scares them even more than relieved. Who would've thought a maiden such as Y/n could do an entire 360° degree switch on him by just existing.
Meanwhile, Scaramouche has been especially pleased with all of the progress made so far to ensure the happiness of his beloved Y/n since their reconciliation. He even prepared gifts in advance for her upcoming birthday celebration.
Yes, her birthday. It's also going to be almost a year since their engagement . Surely, he can continue on with this life as a harbinger and a soon-to-be-married man. And now he wonders how he'll spend his days with Y/n by his side.
As a harbinger's soon-to-be wife, her life is now considered as precious as an actual fatui harbinger. How she will live and die as an honorary fatuu, it will gather unnecessary attention and possibly rumors. She may not as well live that long should he be careless as her husband.
But speaking of living, she's turning 20 in two weeks.
"Ooh~ This place used to be in possession of the Kaedehara clan?" Roxie gasps, basking in the beautiful manor before them.
"Indeed. They are quite well-known, even after their fall from nobility. If I remember correctly, they are a noble clan of samurais." Sadoko smiles, glancing to see workers still in the process of fully renovating said manor, "My mother used to tell me stories about the women of this clan."
"The women of the Kaedehara clan?" Garyth joins in on the conversation.
"Mhm. She told me that the women of this clan were timeless beauties, able to captivate anyone with their gentle smiles and elegant sword dances."
"No wonder, then!" Roxie grins, "Our madam is so beautiful, I hear almost everyone in camp has a crush on her~"
"If our lord harbinger heard you, you're done for." Garyth sighs, "You were only lucky to be spared last time, because of his affection for the madam."
"Oh, C'mon~ I had to do what I had to do!" Roxie huffed, her proud and triumphant expression only made Garyth realize even more how much of an airhead his fellow aide is.
"She did indeed." Sadako agrees, to which Garyth feels concerned.
"Anyway..." Garyth starts, shifting the topic, "How did lord Scaramouche obtain this manor? The shogunate confiscated this from the clan years ago."
"Well, his lordship allegedly has special relations with the electro archon, and I was informed that this manor is a gift for the madam from the shogunate." Sadako explains as she trudges forward, only to stop in her tracks abruptly with Garyth and Roxie stopping behind her.
