Ichiji POV:
My eyes opened, thanks to my internal clock. I sat up automatically, glancing at the time. I heard a knock at the door, I grunted as I got up, strolling to the door before opening it. "Morning Ichiji, Father wants to see Ren-Chan for breakfast today" Reiju said smiling as she Peeked over my shoulder. "Yeah, Sure thing" I said rubbing my head
"Also he wants her to wear this" she said handing me a long cream dress. I nodded
"Have you been reading that book I leant you?" She asked
"Yes, bits and pieces. I should finish it soon" I muttered
"Good, it should help you out, alright see you soon" she smiled before leaving. I closed the door and glanced at the dress, before hanging it in her cupboard. I looked in the mirror, holding my head, 'I've had that headache for weeks, and she got rid of it so easily, I've never felt better' I thought. I walked up to her sleeping figure
"Hey Ren, wake up. We need to go have breakfast with the family" I said, placing my hand on her arm. Her eyes flashed open looking at me, blinking hard. She sat up so quick she almost head butt me. "You go use the bathroom first, I'll wait" I muttered motioning to the door. She nodded before hurrying over.
She got out, I jumped in washing my face and doing my stuff. I walked out before heading towards my closet, putting on my usual clothes. I walked towards the bedside table and pulled on my glasses. She walked out of her own closet wearing the dress I was handed. It was fitted at the chest, and was a low cut, exposing a slight cleavage. It hugged her child bearing hips and her waist perfectly. She tugged at it trying to pull it up higher, blushing immensely. I felt hearts zoom out my eyes, thankfully my sunglasses were covering it up. Clearing my throat, "this is a bit showy, can I put a scarf or something on top?" She asked, her arms hugging onto herself looking down
"Well father ordered that, but my brothers are perverts so...wait here a moment" I said walking to my closet and pulling out a white scarf with '1' on it, matching my cape. "Here, use this" I said handing it to her, before fixing my hair. I glanced at her as she pulled it on, covering up her chest. I finished my hair and looked at her.
We walked down the hallway "we eat every meal together in this home, you are required to always be present and presentable, understood" I said
"Yes" she whispered
"Also, I don't want you creating any sort of conflict, regardless of who it's with, never make yourself seem important, you are nothing to Germa. Understood" I said. She was silent a few moments before nodding "Ichiji, I'm...really bad in social situations. So I might be very awkward" she whispered tugging onto my sleeve
"That's fine, just don't say too much, talk only when spoken to, and in a respectable manner" I replied. I felt her nod. The door to the throne room in front of me, I took her hand off my arm "follow me in, after I give you a signal" I said. She nodded watching me walk in.
I sat down in my seat, being the last to breakfast was embarrassing for once. "Ah Ichiji, good morning" my brothers and sisters said
"Good morning father, good morning " I said looking to my siblings at the second part
"Where's your lovely bride?" Father asked. I looked towards the door, she walked in, hands clamped together at her front, her gaze down. She walked in gracefully. Bowing gently to the table "good morning father in law, good morning brother and sister in laws" she whispered, keeping her head down.
I was impressed, "good morning to you too, take a seat. That dress suits your rather well, however I don't think I spoke of the scarf" Father said looking at me
"I wanted to make sure she looked mine, father" I said. He laughed, she came and sat next to me, a small throne, with the number 1 with a small crown hanging off the side. "Wow you've actually got manners, I assumed the majority of Elbaf were just lawless apes" Yonji laughed. I glanced at her, eager to see her reaction
"That's a p-popular rumour in my c-country too" she laughed. I noticed her begin stuttering all eyes on her. The rest of the hall in silence as we ate. "So, will I be seeing my grandchild in 9 months then" father asked looking at me
"Well, we are still perfecting our technique, we will need more time" I replied. I glanced at her face noticing it was blood red, her hand shaking slightly. The hall became full of laughter again, everyone speaking with eachother, father seemed in a much better mood. "I didn't think you'd need to practise" Niji laughed
"Well, I've obviously not got enough time to fool around like you" I sneered. He laughed in reply
"So Ren, how do you find our brother?" Yonji asked
"There is no-no one else who I could've w-wished for more" she stuttered. I smirked slightly, feeling pride well up in my chest. Why I felt this from the words of a wife on her first day, I do not know. "I'm more curious as to what father found so great about her, to marry off his favourite son" Yonji said. I glared daggers at him, as well as every other Vinsmoke in the table, "how dare you question fathers choice" I growled
"Well, when you find out, you'll find out why she is the best suited for this experiment" Father said. The rest of breakfast was finished soon after.
