"..."
For Mei Terumi, this wedding had been a sham from the start. All that had changed was the groom: instead of that fat, big-eared old geezer, she would now be marrying an absurdly handsome, mysterious young man, Xia Yu.
Compared to the previous man, the Xia Yu before her was somewhat easier to accept.
"All right, let's get married, then..."
Mei Terumi agreed.
She did not even hesitate.
After glancing at Xia Yu, she turned back to the Land of Water's Daimyo and said, "Lord Daimyo, I'll go back to the ship to change first. What I'm wearing now... isn't suitable for a wedding. It would seem disrespectful to the Land of Sea's Daimyo."
The Land of Water's Daimyo nodded repeatedly in delight. "Good, good! Go on. My younger brother and I will wait for you in the Daimyo Mansion~"
"Mm." With a quiet reply, Mei Terumi turned and left.
Her unexpected actions had the Kirigakure ninja beside themselves with anxiety.
The Kirigakure ninja followed close behind Mei Terumi as she returned to the ship, all clamoring to ask:
"Lady Mizukage, how could you agree to this marriage? The condition for this marriage was that the Land of Sea had to hand over Demon Island and Mother Island. But look at that fellow named Xia Yu! He clearly wants something for nothing. He hasn't said a single word about dividing up the territory!"
"That's right! Since the Land of Sea has a new Daimyo, this marriage should, by all rights, be annulled! Lady Mizukage, you're being far too irrational. This won't benefit Kirigakure in the slightest, and it'll damage your reputation!"
"Lady Mizukage, please cancel your wedding with that fellow immediately. We in Kirigakure can't afford any more losses!"
"Enough! Stop trying to talk me out of it!" Mei
