“M-Milord,”
You muttered the phrase as you carefully walked into the meeting hall, trying to make haste of your cleaning duties so you didn’t hear anything illegal or disturb the lord of hell himself.
Stealing a quick glance, you studied the face of the man that now held you captive inside the compounds of the Ichinomiya clan. Stern, not a ounce of kindness was on his face as he seemed to be discussing war tactics with his most trusted page, Soryu Oh.
A foreigner to Owari, but Lord Ichinomiya trusted him like he was his own brother. You heard the rumors about Lord Ichinomiya, about him being adopted or killing his biological parents, so you concluded that his lack of family was why he put such great trust and bonds with his pages. They were his family you assumed. And Lord Oh was no exception.
Soryu Oh was regarded as the highest ninja in Japan. Rumors spoke about his mass killings, women and children, which made him seem like a favorable candidate next to Lord Ichinomiya, because he was rumored to be just as ruthless.
They were only rumors, and you knew two things well about rumors. One, to not gossip in the castle grounds. You knew your place, it was nothing more of a low page, and that was a status you intended to keep. And two, rumors were what they are––rumors. You couldn’t believe anything till it came out of the sources mouth.
Besides Lord Oh, there were a few others that you took note that held high priority to Lord Ichinomiya. Two of the strangest were Lord Baba (as he liked to be addressed as) and Lord Kisaki, who seemed to never do their work, so you wondered how they held such high statuses.
But, besides them, the other pages were Lord Kishi and Lord Hishikura. The clan medic, Dr. Foster, also seemed to be on good terms with the pages and Lord Ichinomiya as well.
“Girl,” A deep voice called out, plucking you from your thoughts and back to the task as hand. It seems in your recollection of the terrifying men in front of you that you stopped cleaning in the room.
“I-I’m s-so sorry Milord!” You called out, bowing low before turning to go back to cleaning, trying to work faster to make up for your lost time.
As your back was turned, you failed to notice the smirk on Lord Ichinomiya’s face as he went back to his war strategies with Lord Oh.
It was strange, truly.
Even though you had your reasons for leaving the capital and coming to Owari, you never knew why Lord Ichinomiya took you in. As far as you were concerned, you could be a assassin, a thief. You still couldn’t believe he listened to your explanation about the situation when you told him, let alone being taken in by him to work of the debt you now owed.
Your father was a gambler, and your mother up and left years ago. Although your father spoke of her death, you knew that she never truly died. All you had was your father and your older brother Takamune. To you, even though your family wasn’t normal or easy, it was still family all the same.
Thinking about your brother, and his final words, you sighed.
“I swear I will come get you Khim! Wait for me!”
You received one letter form him since your change of lifestyle. It was short, the details lacking, but he spoke about his promise, and that he was with a clan as a high page, working on getting you back. The words echoed in your ears as you finished cleaning in the room, only to try and run for the door when the same chilling voice called out to you once more.
“Don’t dismiss yourself just yet,” Was all he said, not even glancing from his map in front of him as the other pages filled out of the room, leaving you, Lord Ichinomiya and Lord Oh alone.
“We are still investigating you girl,” Lord Oh called out in a intimidating tone, which, worked as you shook in your spot.
“R-Rightly so Milords.” You responded, pausing a few seconds until you realized you should have bowed, and rushed to do so in a frenzy.
“From today onward you will be working along side me,” Lord Ichinomiya declared, moving from his spot to walk over to you, using his index finger to lift your head to face him, placing it gently under your chin, “Meeting any needs I may have.”
The tone in his voice, the way he looked at you, it all made your skin crawl. It was a reaction you weren’t expecting, but also expecting at the same time. If you weren’t a assassin then a prostitute was the next logical guess. Still, the comment made your blood boil, as you found yourself shoving his hand away, taking a few steps back.
“Don’t misunderstand my words Milord,” You refuted, “Me selling myself wasn’t for sexual favors, it was for work as a page. I’m sure another women can fulfill those desires of yours.”
“Listen you––” Lord Oh began to yell, but Lord Ichinomiya simply held up a hand to calm him.
“I will enjoy stomping out the fire I see you cling to,” He said, a smirk ghosting his lips, “It will be the only thing that gets you through hell here.”
You held your tongue, not knowing what to say but not having the guts to up and leave, so you stared at him.
“…”
He didn’t respond either, only staring at you as well. The harsh expression never changed, in fact, you swore it got deeper as time moved on.
“We need to finalize our plans Eisuke,” Lord Oh announced, and you made mental note of the familiarity in his voice to Lord Ichinomiya as he slowly broke his eye contact from you, turning to face him.
“Figure it out with Hishikura,” He answered, quickly moving past you to leave the room, only to find that he grabbed your wrist and was dragging you along with him.
“M-Milord!?” You squeaked, looking to Lord Oh for some sort of saving, but his confused look on his face only made it clear that even he had no idea of his intentions as he pulled you out of the room.
And being dragged through the hallways of the castle wasn’t any easier.
The looks of the maids and pages that you both passed, practically hand in hand, didn’t ease any rumors about you at all. From the suspicions of you being a whore they only intensified, remarking you as a prostitute from another clan, a master poisoner and so on. You cringed at the remarks as you silently wished Lord Ichinomiya would increase his pace and hurry up to wherever the destination would be.
Reaching his chambers, he slid the door open and threw you in, causing you to trip and fall––right on his bedding.
Panicking, you tried to move from your spot, but two arms encircled you above, trapping you between the bedding and Lord Ichinomiya himself…
