"Can't it be called off?"
Minamoto Mitsuyori felt somewhat unwilling. Political marriages were normal for someone of his family background, and he had never cared before. But now... he wanted to eat Fu Hua's cooking. If he could not keep Fu Hua by his side, what would he do when he could no longer eat it in the future?
No other way of keeping her around was reliable. Only by becoming husband and wife... could they stay together forever.
That way, he could eat it for the rest of his life!!
"This would be rather inappropriate..."
Seeing the pleading look in Minamoto Mitsuyori's eyes, Minamoto Maizu found it a little unbearable. His "son" was too adorable. Actually... he had not arranged an engagement for him. He had considered it... but had not taken any real action.
The main reason was that Minamoto Mitsuyori's identity was rather special.
"Father, please! I really like her very much."
Seeing Minamoto Maizu's expression, Minamoto Mitsuyori felt there might be hope and hurriedly pleaded.
"Besides, Miss Fu Hua is very strong. With her by my side... Father won't have to worry about my safety anymore, right?"
"This... let me think about it. How about this? Bring your lifesaver to meet me tomorrow." After thinking it over carefully, Minamoto Maizu felt that it made some sense... If that woman called Fu Hua really was that strong, then after he was gone...
Perhaps it really could be worth trying. But... forget it. He had decided to swallow his pride and speak with her. His precious child liked her so much, after all.
"Really? Thank you, Father."
Minamoto Mitsuyori's eyes lit up at once, and he nodded excitedly.
"...As long as you're happy."
Looking at the delighted Minamoto Mitsuyori, Minamoto Maizu sighed. He would take it as compensation
