Thread: To Become Shogun (Malfrost and Malicious Lullaby)

This irritated Kumiko to no end who clenched the fabric of her kimono so tightly between her finely manicured nailed. Her face almost scrunched with anger but she decided not to show her cards completely. Gripping her dress was a reaction and she mentally chastised herself for giving that away. Whatever you must treat it in order to cope with this conversation and the outcome of it. She said by way of response and also not dignifying how he turned an insult to that of an honor. Which she despised. Yu and Tokino strained to hear the conversation which wasnt difficult to do because of the acoustics of the castle. They heard Kumikos response and had to suppress their giggles. They were very proud of how mature and dignified their oldest sister was handling herself. But their amusement was short-lived when all of a sudden they felt hands on them, arms encircling their waists and hauling them up. Both of them were about to scream for help when the cool steel of daggers were pressed to their throats. The twins exchanged a look of fear between them but only nodded their heads. They wouldnt fight. They were taken off to a separate side room, away from the bedrooms and once the door was shut, they were left to the mercy of these men. Yu gasped when one of the men came to her, ripping her kimonoshe was very thankful she hadnt been wearing something more treasuredand forced his lips on hers. Her hands flew to his shoulders and she gripped them to push him back but to no avail. She started to beat on his back, wrenching her lips from his and letting out a cry of anguish. Tokino was in the same boat, the man assaulting her and ripping her kimono down the front, exposing creamy skin. His lips were on hers roughly and she turned her face away, pushing her hands into his chest to push him back, struggling as he groped and fondled her pert breasts. P-Pleases-stop this! She struggled in vain, her plea desperate and exasperated. Back down in the foyer, completely oblivious to what was happening upstairs, Kumiko listened to his offer and her eyes narrowed. I will show respect Satoshi if you show me and my sisters the respect of no longer threatening us. I think you can agree that we have already endured enough threats before you invaded our home, I would like it if you could do us the honor of rescinding your threats. Which she had zero doubts that he would make good on them if they disrespected him and his men. Now, I am dissatisfied by the terms of this agreement. While I will agree to the terms of our betrothal, for my sisters, I require a meeting with each man individually. I require such so that the best interests and safety of my beloved sisters are met. You, I shall deal with accordingly for I retain that right of control and I shall retain that right of control over my sisters betrothals as long as I can. Onei-san. She heard Satsuki protest. Hikari and Talia are too young. They are both not yet sixteen. She whispered. Shes right. They are both too young. Akari, Yu and Tokino are old enough, as are we but it would be cruel to marry Hikari and Talia off to these men. They are practically children, Onei-san. Mio said softly, her voice soft and demure but insistent, Satsukis. Her sisters made a very good point and she was very thankful that they were here. My younger sisters make a very interesting point Satoshi. My two youngest are not yet sixteen. They are far too young to be married. That is a problem, is it not?
