The man was sitting anxiously but as his face remain the same no one would ever thought he was. He knew he shouldn't be smoking, yet as second passed by he could not help but to inhale a smoke from his pipe then exhale, thin smokes slowly disappearing in the air.

It's been ten day since the decree has been abolished, visions were returned to their owners yet he was yet to receive news from you. Even he have heard news about your cousin, just what were you doing?

Just when he was about to go deep down his thoughts, he heard urgent foot steps coming towards his office causing him to place his hand of the handle of his sword.

"My Lord!"

To his surprise it was none other than your right hand man

he was about to speak when she spoke once again

"Please help My Lady"

Her voice was trembling

At the same time as he was frozen on spot his people came inside and was about to drag the uninvited guess when he held up his hand.

"What do you mean"

He tried his best to be calm

"Did something happened to her?"

Nevertheless not even waiting for her reply, he turn to face his aide

"Clear my schedule for the rest of the week"

"But My Lord-"

"Do I need to repeat myself?"

"No My Lord"

His aide could not help but to lower his head and shut his mouth

"All of you dismissed"

So this people left the room once again leaving him all alone with your right hand man

"Tell me everything that happened"

He spoke in a serious tone

His face almost seem to terrified your right hand man nevetheless who would have ever thought that the real face of the Kamisato Clan leader was a emotionless one. But she could only guess that is because you're not with him.

"Honestly My Lord, I- I have no idea what happened. The resistance stopped as the decree was finally abolished, we came back to the capital. Until ten days ago she was about to take a visit to you, but then she- she- she collapsed."

He could feel the feeling afraid and sadness in her voice

"I thought it was just a simple fever but she's not cooling down, she was mostly asleep but once in awhile she would wake up only to check on the young master and news about you then she would collapse once again. She would also vomit blood and- I- I'm scared. She's growing weaker as days passed by and I'm afr-"

"Stop. Don't you dare said those words to me"

His voice almost tremble, fuck that. He almost lost his cool, he could not believe what he just heard, more like refuse to believe but he has no other choice as he saw the miserable state of your people.

"Wait.."

Recalling her words he could not help but to ask

"Young master? Are you perhaps referring to Kazuha?"

When he asked he could notice the sudden stiff look on her face

"No My Lord..."

There was but of hesitation

"The Young Master I'm referring to is Kamisato Ayano, My Lord. The son between you, my lord and My Lady (First name)"

Then he froze.

"Wa-what?"

"My Lady- sob. And you My Lord had a child"

"No you're kidding"

He laugh pathetically

No, she has got to be kidding. How come he doesn't know if you really had a child? You're not the type not to inform him of such thing. At the same time, as his heart beat loudly on his chest like it was about to burst, he also believe that you would be able to do such a thing, because the situation calls out for it.

"Please tell me you're kidding, (First name) would not hide such important matter to me, let alone our child"

He almost beg your servant as he took a step forward

"I- I wish I was kidding My Lord. But it's true, those moments a couple of months ago were I would often go back into this estate no matter how much I hate it just to get a cup of boba from you. Do you really think I was just out of my mind requesting such thing from you? It was My Lady who was craving for it for months"

True, it was true. No matter how much he tried to deny that you would not hide such thing. The fact that during the last few months you would not leave the manor of yours, those requested boba in behalf of your people. He tried to deny it as much as the signs were obviously right in front of him. Because he knew you would never hide such thing from him.

But you did, and no matter how much he wants to get angry at you.

"Where is he?"

As Ayato asked, your right hand man could only look at the direction of the Kamisato Clan Leader only to find him with tears rolling down his cheeks.

"I want to see my child. Please, let me see him. Let me see them"

He was just so happy you didn't give up. How hard must it have been for you.
