"I commend you on a strategic match, at least." You whisper angrily, taking your first step down the aisle. The pace is slow, painfully slow. A path to a known, unwanted fate, like walking the plank to a known abyss below. "How did you ever convince such a man to take my hand? He who has no need for a dowry, or a wife, at that?"
At the end of the aisle, Father kisses your forehead and takes your hands, then leans forward to whisper into your ear. The words send you into a second of such startling confusion that you cannot think, reply, or move, and you thank Barbatos that you have a veil to hide your expression:
"I did no such thing." Father says, "Remember, Master Diluc asked that he may have you."

A year after your break-up because of an incident at the Windblume Festival, you find yourself arranged to marry Diluc. Your parents want you to use his money to relieve their debts, but you can't even bring yourself to dine with him, let alone forgive him.
However, as time continues and you reconcile how you feel with your husband, Fatui intervention causes forces you to think smart and fast about how to bring Diluc back home and recover from your parent's ill intentions.

It's not easy being the head of the flourishing and famous Miyazaki Estate, but that's precisely what Y/N manages to be, braving the task with a kind heart and calm head. After her father's passing, she inherited his position and worked hard to make the Estate thrive.......all just to be plagued by the problem of marriage.
Working this hard just to be tied down by a matter as trivial as marriage? It was dumb, the least of your worries, but the subtle judgment of the other nobles made it hard to brush off. However, you continued to ignore the numerous marriage proposals that befell you every day, until you were suddenly asked for your hand in marriage by.....
The head of the Kamisato Clan???
Kamisato Ayato? The man that was on the lips of idle townspeople every day, yet rarely made a public appearance? The one you had never seen but always considered your rival? This was....interesting indeed.
Was this purely out of good intention...or was there something else behind it?
