[KAWAI]
"Sahina had always known where I was, so when she died, Nana ca to look for . But before she ca, Nana went to the king with an ultimatum. My sister’s best friend went to the king to fight for , when she lost Sahina.
"To this day, I wonder what relationship she had with Sahina for her to stand up for like that. She told the king to choose between fighting the rogues and fighting an oga who had been loyal to Kawai from the beginning.
"Nana never let the king give her an answer. Instead, she ca to find in the free lands. The woman who had always been simple ca for while holding weapons. I was weak at the ti, really weak, but sothing about Nana gave hope.
"All she said to that day was that Sahina was proud of until the very end. That my family didn’t have any regrets about sacrificing their lives for . That they had died happily even then.
"So, when the mad king ca to the free lands with his high guards, Nana stood before , ready to take her stand against the king. She was ready to die for , like my family had. And I stepped beside her, after grabbing her twin blades from her boots.
"I could die that day, but I was ready. If Nana was going to fight the king, then I would too. If that was the last ti for , I didn’t mind. But sothing strange happened. Instead of a battle, the king pulled into a hug.
"It was weird back then. The man was the devil himself. Hell, he was worse than the devil, and the first show of his humanity was to , an oga, who had lost everything, and who had no use being in the kingdom. He didn’t look at like an oga, though.
"If anything, he saw as soone worthy of his presence, but I knew it was because of Nana. My sister’s best friend had saved my life. I don’t know what she had said to the king, or even how, but the king had co for .
"And no one in their right mind would try to challenge the devil of Kawai. It was the first ti, though, that I didn’t look at the king like a monster I had always heard about. That was the first ti I saw a person. An actual person who had humanity and shit.
"Anyway, he told I was the bravest person he had ever t, other than... Sahina. He talked about my sister like he knew who she really was. Like he had been there for her and everything.
"That day, I got to learn one other thing. My sister was Lord Sadako’s mate. He had wanted to co save us, but Sahina had insisted that it was a fight for the family. That she had made a vow, and she had to honor it.
"My sister denied her mate the chance to co save her, and I wasn’t sure what that ant back then. I wanted to be mad at her for leaving when we could have been saved, but over the years, I got to learn about her sacrifice.
"I got to learn that she had given her life up, so ogas like could live. She had broken the Lycan Lord’s heart, and mine too. I wanted to be mad at her, but how could I be when she always believed that family was everything?
"To make her sacrifice worth it, I went to Lord Sadako and begged him to train . I pleaded with him to let join the battle, but he said he had already lost one person, and he couldn’t lose the only reminder of the love of her life.
"To him, I was family. Soone he would take care of until his last breath. He didn’t look at as an oga, instead, he saw as a person. And when I insisted on training, he told to train with Nana, and never the king.
"When I asked why, he told to focus on my skills. And that maybe, maybe if I were determined enough, he would train to be worthy of the king. The rogues who ca after my family were starved to death in the Kawai dungeons as a lesson.
"That was also how I knew the dungeons had vultures. It wasn’t the prettiest sight, but that day, my sister saved . I wanted to leave this place, to go far and forget about the horrors of what I was born into.
"But the mad king sat down a few months later, and told it wasn’t a mistake to be the only oga in the Lycan kingdom. He said that he was always an angry man, but even he was smart enough to know that there was always a reason for sothing.
"That day, he told to train harder and overco the stigma of being an oga. He said I would be alright, even if he wasn’t hovering over , or if Lord Sadako wasn’t protecting . He said I could do it.
"The mad king believed in , which was crazy, for a man who had made the realm believe that he was the devil. Over the years, rumors began that the king had saved my life because he needed an oga experint.
"I wandered the sa for a while, until he reminded that life had to be lived, and not because we owed it to anyone. I couldn’t do it, though. I couldn’t stay in the place that had cost my family.
"I couldn’t let myself lean into Kawai when I had nothing to hold onto. So, I begged the king to let leave. But he refused for the first few years. He said he was never letting go and that I was Lord Sadako’s link to humanity.
"It was weird, seeing as Lord Sadako was the kindest man I had ever t. But when I insisted, the king said to fight Lord Sadako. It was a dangerous ga that he was setting up for, but I was determined to leave Kawai.
"The day of the fight, Lord Sadako didn’t fight . He asked if I really wanted to leave Kawai. And of course, I insisted. Kwai held so many horrible mories for . My family sacrificing themselves for wasn’t encouraging for .
"It only broke my heart over and over. Once again, I begged the king. He was the only one who could help out. That day, Nana ca to watch the fight. She knew I needed space without being a rogue of Kawai. So, she suggested an outpost role.
"A task that would need to report back to Kawai every few years, one that needed to see Lord Sadako, and one that demanded I be alive each ti. She said they would give everything, the supply of suppressants, if I accepted the deal.
"So, I did. The first ti I was out of Kawai for fifteen years, and when I ca back, I found that Nana had turned our house into a full-blown oga nest. She said that this was what Sahina had wanted.
"That my sister wanted to always co back ho and never have to worry about what happened. So, on days that I’m free, I draw my family over and again, scared of their faces fading from my mory.
"This ho was the greatest gift that was given to , and even though it was forged in pain and loss, I have co to learn and accept that fate sotis doesn’t work the way we want it to. I gained three family mbers on the day I lost everything.
"Without them, I would have been a goner. That is the tale of my beautiful family and the trio that had always kept going. You already know the king, your father. Lord Sadako, your uncle, and Nana...she lives on the edge of Kawai, always watching over .
"Today, the breakfast I got up to make... was her idea. She said she wanted to see her son-in-law healthy and would drop by to confirm it herself," Kosta said, and Tamiko went from being lancholic to straight-up horrified.
"Here? She’s coming here?" Tamiko shrieked as the sll of sex lingered in the air.
They were dood. He was even more dood because at least Kosta ant sothing to the woman. Tamiko was probably the product of the mad king that everyone wanted to murder, and that wasn’t so comforting.
"She already ca... when you were inside ," Kosta said, and Tamiko felt like he would faint. He just couldn’t take this anymore. This wasn’t how he was supposed to et any potential family that Kosta had.
"Excuse while I go bury myself in a hole sowhere," Tamiko said, before realizing how that sounded. He didn’t know what the fuck he needed to do anymore because there was just a lot to process.
He couldn’t even run away because they had spent the entire morning fucking like dogs and if he left, Kosta would feel abandoned, even if that wasn’t Tamiko’s intent truly. This was a really complicated process and fuck if Tamiko knew what to do.
"Ah fuck... I an—" Tamiko rambled only for a feminine chuckle to interrupt him.
"He’s cute. Zaffuto and Nakamura really worked hard for him. And you’re right, kid. My Sahina would definitely have loved him," the woman, who Tamiko assud to be Nana said, and Tamiko felt like his world was fucked over.
"Oh, goodness," Tamiko sighed, before he fainted.
"I like him already," Nana said, and Kosta facepald.
