Clears the mind, improve focus, efficiency and be in one with the way of the bow, that was all she could think as she locked her eyes across the target.

She breathe in. Y/n gripped tight on the string of the bow, using her three fingers and preparing herself to take a precise shoot.

"Keep your feet spread and mind the distance of your arrow's length, Y/n-sama." She can hear the masculine voice of the high rank samurai man, Taoshu whilst he watched the young Mizuno lady, taking aim to the designated target.

"Draw your bow at your forehead level and don't lose focus your eyes on the target." He trails as Y/n mentally take note of the every instructions she have received from the meister samurai.

"On my count," Taoshu commence as Y/n's grip on the string tightens, readying herself in attempt to release the arrow.

"Three."

"Two."

"One, release." Right on the command of the young man, Y/N let go of the string by releasing her fingers. She strives not to jerk after she have successfully released the arrow. She remained in her stance and further watched.

She despairing sighed when she misses the target as the arrow went beyond the bushes. She languidly lowered down the bow and close her eyes for the brief moment.

"Always remember to follow the first rule, Y/N-sama." She heard Taoshu's voice from behind her whilst she nod her head and wipe the cold sweat on her forehead.

'Clear my mind and improve my focus on the target. Solely to the target.' She think out loud and inhaled her breathe before she started to position her feet on the ground with the exact ninety degrees.

She clench her jaw and gritted her teeth trying to remove the bothersome thoughts that was continuesly running in her mind.

'Don't think of him right now, Y/N.' She scowled herself and shook her head.

'Focus on your training..'

"My lady, are you okay?" Her mind was pushed back into the reality after she heard Taoshu's solicitude voice and his other hand, tapping on her shoulder. She have immediately turned her head on his face direction and she wearily smiled at him.

"Yes," She prompted, giving the samurai man an assured look despite that the young lady know, she cannot grasp her full concentration due to the last nights events at the Kibutsuji's household.

Y/n cannot forget the words of her own father and the agreement between him and Muzan.

"If you are not in favour with my eldest daughter, please try to change your mind and choose my youngest daughter as your betrothed wife." Fumihiro uttered.

Y/n's heart began to instantly flutter uncontrollably in her chest. She felt struck right to the unexpected words of his own otou-san. She know this was not all part of their previous meeting back then, all that they have discussed was solely Koharu's planned marriage and not with her own involvement.

"Chichi-ue! We haven't talked about this yet!" She blurted out and clutch tight on her chest as Koharu also have the mutual expression with Y/n.

"Silence Y/N! I am the leader of the clan and you shall obey my words!" Fumihiro shouted back to his younger daughter whilst the middle-age man continue to bow down his head on the floor infront of the noble Kibutsuji.

Y/n swallowed her own breath and anxiously look at Koharu then back to the young lord.

"Y/N, You should never agree to this!" Koharu hissed with her vile wrath hazel eyes, gleaming with immense anger towards her younger sister.
