Under The Red Sky-Blue Eye Samurai RP

[toxic34]

The winds of change are something that is a fact of life. You cannot seek shelter from them or stop them from blowing, no matter what. And sometimes, they can leave an impact and take a person's life to directions they never otherwise would've gone.

Such was the case with Princess Akemi, daughter of the disgraced Daichi of the Tokunobu Clan. She had once yearned to marry the samurai Taigen, but now she had greater ambitions on larger prizes.

Indeed, she had found that she could use her influence at the shogunate to affect change in ways she thought would be appealing. So now, after having gone through quite the ordeal, it hardened her into looking towards the horizon with steely determination.

With her father imprisoned and her beloved advisor Seki dead, the person she found she could confide in the most was her one-time employer, Madame Kaji, whose services she had bought just after her wedding.

She had brought her and the girls of her brothel in to be her ladies in waiting and receptive ears, and they certainly were not going to leave her now at this moment of rebuilding.

Right now, while her husband Takayoshi was holding court with his older brother, Akemi was overseeing the reconstruction of the castle alongside a team of carpenters and stonemasons.

She had some very notable ideas for decorative flourishes, and was making her ideas known. "Where do you want this, Your Highness?"

"The foundation would be best supported from over there," she thought aloud, pointing out the spot in question, "We must make certain it is amply reinforced, otherwise we will be right back here before too long."

[toxic34]

"Yes, that makes a lot of sense."

As Akemi continued to carry on her duties, Madame Kaji stood nearby and observed her, impressed with how much she had grown.
