Renascence (M.K)

十一

At the early in the morning Fumihiro was frustrated. He grind his clench teeth together. He humphed and crumpled the written letter that was sent by his youngest daughter from the Kibutsuji palace. A tight frown etched upon his face as Fumihiro looked sternly at his another daughter, Koharu - whom was compose and silently sitting across his figure.

The eldest Mizuno court lady did not mind her furious father whilst she regain herself and continue to take a sip on her cup of served black tea.

She placed her cup on the small wooden table and placidly gaze at the middle-age man. "Chichi-ue, What news does my sister brings to you this time?" she asked whilst Fumihiro's face scrunched.

"Something to trigger your disappointments again isn't it?" She gave a lopsided smirk and conceal her great amusement, seeing how displeased her father was after reading the letter that came from her other sibling.

His eyebrows remained furrowed and angered as he gird his riled eyes towards her smirking daughter.

"I have requested your sibling to give me a brief information of what could be occurring already inside the palace," he gruffed and Koharu silently trailed her eyes straight to her father's fist as she watched how Fumihiro would clutched his fist tighter, repressing his fury from blustering out.

"Y/n told me there was a little progress between her and the Kibutsuji," He continue to speak and Koharu's smirked only widens in pleasure.

"She was longing to be back home," The Mizuno clan leader huffed.

"And your sibling was threatening me that she will abandon the palace in no time." This made the eldest noble lady gasped in contentment yet she concealed it with a fraud solicitude she kept shown on her comely face.

It strikes the full attention of the woman, she closed her eyes for a moment and cleared her throated before formally speaking to her father.

"Let her be chichi-ue. Afterall, I have seen this coming." She maintained her voice to be fixed and calm against the infuriated Fumihiro.

"Y/N was not eligible for marriage. She is not mature enough to handle such a serious and tremendous task." She trails and explains her side across the vexed and aggravated man.

Koharu was aware this was her sole chance to switch fate with her youngest sibling. She have been waiting patiently and this time, she cannot let the small opening of her opportunity escape within her grasp again.

"My sister is only at the age of seventeen, my dearest father. Barely a full grown woman." She says quietly and touched the porcelain cup of tea and let the brim of it touch in contact on her pout lips.

Fumihiro remained silent. He looked straight into the eyes of his eldest daughter, thinking hard of something.

Koharu was getting amused with the conversation, she knows if she continue to press her point, convince her father with her own opinions and twist the story, she will outright get the full concur of the middle-age man.

He will in certain be persuade and Koharu will right away claim what she have been wanting.

"Soon, Muzan-sama will surely get trite of my sister's childish acts. He will come to realize he have married a brat and not a woman." Koharu stated whilst she regain  the bland tone of her voice, acting as if she wasn't interested at all.

"And you believe it suppose to be someone else?" Fumihiro answered back as he crossed his meaty arms through his chest, the tone of suspicion was clear indicated on his deep authoritative voice and right in instant, Koharu raise her hazel eyes to meet the austere face of her father.
