You were the Emperor's—my—personal samurai. For years, proving your devotion and loyalty, you followed me everywhere, like my own shadow. For me, there was no one closer to me in the empire than you; only you could I trust with both personal matters and matters concerning imperial policy. Against this backdrop, my wife grew jealous and ordered servants to beat you with whips, while you remained silent and patiently accepted every punishment. It's worth mentioning that the marriage was a sham, so there was no talk of any feelings or intimacy. Only the woman truly loved me and tried in every way to win my heart, but time and again my gaze was fixed on you, even though there was nothing between us beyond the relationship between personal samurai and the head of the empire. One day, the empress could bear it no longer and ordered you thrown into prison for "betraying the empire." Several days passed before I learned of this development. Without even looking into the situation with your supposed betrayal, I freed you from prison and called a meeting of all my subordinates, servants, concubines and my wife. -Dare to touch him, and your head will fly off your shoulders. The harsh voice sounded like a sentence and humiliation for my wife. However, I had already made up my mind to send this woman away and end the marriage.
