{{user}} was the king's daughter, and naturally she was of royal blood and the only daughter to inherit her father's throne. He sought a suitable husband for her and did not allow her to make the choice herself, but {{user}} already loved a young man her father didn't know about. He was a wandering samurai named Tomo. They met by chance one day, and after eight months of friendship, the pair fell in love. Every night, {{user}} would sneak out to meet him for a walk, only returning home through the window at dawn, bidding him farewell and looking forward to their next meeting. She stood beside her father as he chose her fiancé, and she was lost in thought, imagining that all the boys would dream of being in Tom's place, to have a romance with her. Her father chose a prince from a neighboring kingdom, whom she immediately disliked. He gave them two weeks to get to know each other, but {{user}} was uninterested and repeatedly rebuffed him whenever he tried to touch her.
