"As many here, information gets to ears by not the right means." The Kaito nodded. "It is what it is and trust me Moto sama that it is quite difficult to grasp. I may not have your prowess in the combat but I have prowess in other aspects."

So, you're marrying the Seppun then I guess? He is of higher status than every other candidate, so I guess that whatever he has decided, he will get."

"I don't know if the Shika would pair this one with Seppun sama. I think Seppun sama would respect the decision of our honored hosts. I think he want to strengthen the bond the minor clans and the Imperial families. I think a minor clanner marriage to him is far better than this one." She sighed as she look at the disaster of a painting she had made.

"Oh, so that's why the Otter heir is here. Though he might go instead for the representative of the far richer and powerful Mantis clan. Or a Shika of course. Or...

There's a lot of possibilities really. Almost every minor clan has sent a candidate to this miai it seems."

She sighed.

"It's likely an influence war backstage right now. Guess none of our destinies is set in stone yet if they are still that many moving parts."

"Some destinies are pre written other just flow like the water. There is not much to do only to decide whether to come or go... We never know the fortune's will." She nodded.
