Moreover, he had taken in several wandering monks with supernatural powers. The armed force under his command could be called "quite formidable."
Therefore, he had absolute confidence.
For them to be so arrogant on his territory, he could only resort to force. Though there were risks, the mother and daughter's looks made it entirely worthwhile.
Their value was such that he realized he would be willing to give up everything he currently had...
A man who loved his kingdom but not beauties!
It was only because he had never encountered a true peerless beauty, one capable of toppling a kingdom.
After receiving Fujiwara no Fuhito's orders, the guard immediately turned and left to begin gathering men.
Meanwhile, Fujiwara Maro seemed to want to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said nothing. He could tell that his father had made up his mind to obtain those two women whom he, too, admired.
Only then did he realize that the things he had been proud of were worthless before his father.
What could he do? Nothing!
He could only watch helplessly as the woman he liked became his stepmother...
Elsewhere, Fu Hua held Princess Kaguya and turned to leave the noble district of Fujiwara Capital.
Though the nobles had quite a few soldiers standing guard, they were utterly useless against Fu Hua.
However, Kaguya was somewhat unhappy at the moment!
It was all those two people's fault. They had actually interrupted her while she was watching the fireworks.
"Immortal Mother, why didn't you cripple those two?"
"Cripple them? Why?"
Although Fujiwara Maro and his father were indeed somewhat unpleasant, it had not reached the point where they needed to be crippled, had it?
Fu Hua was not the sort of immortal who changed her mood on a whim.
