=== Sentence to Death ===
Shortly after Miyoki's return to Shiro Mirumoto, her Daimyo Hitomi hosted an Imperial Winter Court. In the last days of the event she witnessed an improptu duel of her Lady with the courtier Shosuro Nimuri. The Scorpion was beheaded and Hitomi ordered Miyoki to assume responsibility of the murder. The courtier was killed because she had stumbled upon Togashi Hoshi in his true dragon form. Kitsuki Yasu as chief magistrate conducted the investigation, and found Miyoki guilty. Miyoki's request for seppuku was refused, and Yasu sent her away of the castle to be executed as a common murderer. 
=== Ronin ===
With Bayushi Rishu as the Scorpion representative, Yasu prepared to perform the execution, but Hitomi appeared and ordered the sentence to be modified to a worse one. Miyoki would become an outcast, to live with her shame as ronin. Rishu protested, but was outmaneuvered by Hitomi and forced to accept her decision. Miyoki was sent with an escort out of the Dragon Mountains.
