"I see." She walked along with him, making idle conversation, not wanting to go too far given she still hadn't introduced herself to the local lords.
"I see. I wish I could give you better advice, or just tell you what to do, but if you're to lead the clan some day, you need to make decisions on your own. My advice would be to listen to what your heart and mind tell you, and try to find a compromise between them. Settle for whatever course of action troubles you least."
"Well, I do have eyes, so yes, I think you're beautiful." The noblewoman smiles. "Any plans for the capital?"
She opens her mouth to speak, maybe to plea for mercy for some of them, before closing it and shaking her head. "No. They're expendable." @Regin34 Jurobei and Inazuma soon see Castle Yokuboo come into sight, as the convoy approaches it."
Once the convoy come to castle, Inazuma leave her wagon and she follow by roofs and walls after lord Jurobei, waiting for moment alone with him. Also, she looking for her sisters, in their castle it should be at least one of them on the post.
Midori smiled back at the noblewoman. “Thank you for the compliment. No, I don't have any plans. I've never been to the capital before, so first I will take a look around and get used to the place before trying to make plans. What about you?”
"My Heart tells me it's wrong, but at The Same Time I don't want to disappoint or anger Father....I....I won't do it" she looks at her Mothers Eyes.
@Regin34 As they reach the castle, Jurobei moves to the side and addresses his brothers and his shadow. "I will be taking Shogun and her mother to their quarters. While we are gone, you are to deal with Shogun mother's retinue in whatever way you see fit. Preferably detain them and recruit them, but if that is impossible, kill them." He said as he turned and approached the two women. "While the servants take care of the language, allow me to take you to your quarters." He said as he started leading them to the room with several torture devices and equipment, he used to train Rai clan women years ago.
@unisol_gr44 @moonblack @asddas193 @Auraicide @Mazoku The group headed for the capital see the castle gates open as a large retinue enters the castle, lead by a powerful and well dressed man that can only be the lord here. Out of carriages come two elegantly dressed women, who follow him into the castle. They note that though the shogun brought many samurai, most camp out in front of the castle, not coming in, while only the men sworn to the shogun's mother enter. @Regin34 Inazuma sees three samurai and about a dozen servants in service to the shogun's mother. Shintaro, Lord Yokuboo's brother, approaches her. "Alright, kunoichi, how would you suggest we handle this? Stealth, trickery, or open violence?" "Being escorted by a lord? I'm glad some people remember that I'm a woman of high status." The shogun's mother smiles smugly, as her daughter walk arm in arm, following Jurobei. As Lord Yokuboo enters, the room, she sees the torture devices. "WHAT AR- OOF!" The shogun's mother is cut off as her daughter gives her a shove, knocking her over into the room. The shogun looks at Jurobei blankly, inviting him to do as he planned, before closing the door.
Her mother hugs her. "Like I said, follow your instincts. If you think that it's beneath us, then I'll support you all the way." She smiles.
"Thank You" she lovingly embraces her a a few Seconds before releasing her and sighing. "I guess it's Time to go then. Stay Safe. I send letters once I settled in and have some Time."
Inazuma think about that. "With samurais, we should trick them aparat and kill them. Samurai who isn't willing to die for his lord is useless and not worth to keept for us. With servants we can try to recruit them. For samurais we have split them up. Offered them company of our geishas, to their pleasure with music and sake. " She said and look at servants. " Ofert them food and water. "
Jurobei quickly stripped the woman, and tied her in karada box-tie, then put a wooden bit gag into her mouth. He then took a buket with a water, and purred the water on the MILF, waking her up. The Lord Yakuboo turned to Shogun. "Anything you want to do with her, before I start?"
Shintaro nods, though Sanada, the elder brother, looks discomfited. The plan works well. Ragerly, the servants head to the kitchens to slake their thirst, while two of the samurai are lured into the castle by geisha. One samurai, a grizzled, older looking warrior, refuses, and begins looking for his lady.
"I will be don't worry." She smiles and walks off, wiping a tear away. Control of Emotions is Important for a Samurai. She gets The Bag of Rice and Bottles of Water from her Room and puts them on The Saddle of her Horse by The Stables before climbing in it and Riding out of The Clans Gate, beginning her Journey to The Capitol.
Shogun Fujiwara kneels before her mother. "I am sorry, truly, but this was inevitable, regardless of who was going to do it. You care only for yourself, and your own power, and nothing for our people. People like you are what destroyed the shogunate in the first place, and started the anarchy. I can't let you go on like this." She stands, as her mother angrily shouts into her gag and struggles against the bonds. Aya looks at Jurobei. "Alright, time to claim your payment."
Well aren’t we special? Your grandfather couldn’t get out of bed without hurting himself and now you got this nice little personal guard. You sure came along way. The fox had her thoughts on the constant guard, seeming to take this way too seriously, dedicating to protecting someone important. In her head, she understood what Shogun meant. But she just couldn’t let go of picturing the same stupid children who needed to be saved from drowning in the river. She would be very surprised if they even remembered her, but she still was having trouble taking any of them seriously as adults, no matter the presence they built up to just get to them. She didn’t say any of it out loud, just holding a somewhat amused smile by all the grandiose nature of it...and had to place a hand over her mouth to stifle an oncoming yawn. The sign of indifference was obvious, though her internal reasons weren’t.
