Ritsuka's amorous sentiments for Soubi are also hinted at from the start. Master-servant romances are accomplished in this manner. Soubi is partnered with Ritsuka, and Ritsuka becomes Soubi's master; in this situation, Soubi must always follow Ritsuka's commands. If Soubi disobeys, he will be punished by being made to work under someone else. In the end, it turns out that Soubi and Ritsuka are both partners of Lady Miyabi, who has a huge fight club where they compete against each other to see who can win most fights within a certain time limit. When Soubi defeats Ritsuka in their first match, he wins the right to choose his master for the next battle. Since Soubi wants to be Ritsuka's servant, Lady Miyabi decides that they should get married. Soubi and Ritsuka's marriage is very similar to that of Hanaoka and Tokugawa families. Both families have been friends for many years and they meet every morning to go over business plans before going their separate ways for the day. In the end, it turns out that Hanaoka is working as a spy for Tokugawa. Here is where the story takes a twist! Hanaoka finds out about Tokugawa's plan to attack an enemy country and he tries to stop him but fails. After hearing this news, Hanaoka commits suicide.
