But he did not want his daughter to live too miserably either, so for now, he wanted her to truly be herself.
She could not deliberately cater to Hogen. Otherwise, once they got married, the hard days would be waiting for her.
"I understand, Father. I will not become someone's appendage. My strength is quite good too. Although I cannot compare to Hogen, I have been cultivating diligently."
Oyakashiro Homura was naturally very satisfied with his daughter. "Just get along well with Hogen. If you truly end up together in the future, Father will definitely prepare an exceptionally generous dowry for you."
Saying those words put Oyakashiro Homura under considerable pressure as well.
After all, what could a family like the Windcloud Clan possibly lack?
But as her father, he had to support his daughter. A dowry was one way of showing that.
So he had begun saving up her dowry long ago. He merely needed to work even harder now.
"Thank you, Father!"
Oyakashiro Homura gently stroked his daughter's hair. "Why are you thanking your father for that? You are my daughter. Of course I have to make sure you have a home in the future."
"But it is still too early to talk about this. You and Hogen are both still young. I imagine Lord Torikaze does not want you two to marry so early either."
Chisato did not quite understand after hearing that. According to Konoha's customs, people their age could already get married.
Many girls married at this age, then had children after getting married.
But since her father said so, Chisato would listen to him. Besides, she did not plan to marry so early either.
At the very least, Chisato needed to truly earn Lord Torikaze's approval before she had the courage to marry Hogen.
