With vast fertile lands, abundant raw resources, and access to the coastline, your diminutive province has been the desire of many other ambitious daimyos that border your lands. Though you managed to broker delicate peace treaties with your rivals, during these not so historical turbulent times however nothing is ever certain to last. You shuddered as your mind swam with thoughts of your enemies invading your lands, leaving trails of destruction and rivers of blood, finally ravaging the people most precious to you.
Shaking your head, you banished the thoughts within the darkest confines of your mind. After all, you had much more pressing matters to tend to rather than indulging in pessimism. Just as you steeled yourself for the work ahead, your ears picked up on the sound of footsteps. Slow and heavy, the footsteps stopped just outside of your room. You watched as the shoji door slid open gently, revealing your beloved wife Ichika, wearing her light blue hakama and pink haori styled with sakura blossoms. The loose-fitting haori exposes her cleavage and barely wraps completely over her prominent pregnant belly. In her hands, she held a tray laid with a kyusu and two yunomis. Danna, She began with a warm smile, I brought you some tea. Would you like some?
