Volume 5 Chapter 27-2 Rotaimei, Talking About The Situation
Indeed, Haku-sama has red hair.
However, Mō Etsu-sama's other daughter, Tan-sama, also has red hair.
Tan-sama is the daughter of the legal wife.
Hm, you seem surprised.
Her name is Tan-sama, which means 'red.'
As you know, Mō Etsu-sama has two daughters.
One is Haku-sama.
She is the daughter of the concubine.
She has hair that is nearly black but with a reddish tint.
The other is Tan-sama.
She is the daughter of the legal wife.
I have hardly ever seen her.
She is not the type to address guests.
However, I hear she is a person of great talent. High-ranking bureaucrats from Kiryou also have high hopes for her future.
Well, it's understandable why the high-ranking bureaucrats have expectations.
Tan-sama's grandfather was a very close aide to the previous Moukou, Mō Boku Etsu-sama.
His name is Kakkan Saku.
Kakkan Saku-sama still supports Mō Etsu-sama.
There is a reason Mō Etsu-sama married Kakkan Saku-sama's daughter.
Several years ago, Mō Etsu-sama was transferred to a new territory in Kiryou, wasn't he?
To govern the new territory, he needed the cooperation of his retainers. He had to gather and mobilize soldiers and people.
Kakkan Saku-sama was the perfect person to gather them.
Kakkan Saku-sama also wanted to become Mō Etsu-sama's in-law.
That's why Mō Etsu-sama married Kakkan Saku-sama's daughter.
Hm? Haku-sama's mother?
That person... it seems Mō Etsu-sama found her in his previous territory.
Chaos broke out, and the land became a scorched wasteland.
Haku-sama lost her family in the chaos.
She was said to sit idly in front of her burnt house.
Mō Etsu-sama passed by there.
Haku-sama threw stones at Mō Etsu-sama.
"Because of a dark lord like you, this happened."
──and.
Mō Etsu-sama forgave her.
Not only that.
He chose to stay close to remember his own failure.
Well, while they were both nearby, various things happened, and Lady Haku was born.
Love and hate are two sides of the same coin.
They can turn at any time, so it's natural. Yes, such things happen.
But Haku-sama's mother died because her postpartum recovery went badly.
...Hmm?
Does Lady Haku know how her mother and Mō Etsu-sama met?
Of course, she does.
Mō Etsu-sama himself told her.
According to Lady Haku, Mō Etsu-sama said this:
"Haku, because your mother was there, I can forget my failures.
If I make a mistake, you can call me 'Dark Lord' and throw stones."
Ah... do you understand now?
Mō Etsu-sama is that kind of person.
There's no way he would rebel against the royal family.
That's why I get angry at those spreading rumors.
I don't know what they're planning, but they spread strange stories.
It's unforgivable that they torment Mō Etsu-sama.
That's why I came to see you.
If you are involved with Yuuri-sama, I can trust you.
Please, support Mō Etsu-sama.
I want to use the martial arts tournament to catch the tails of suspicious people.
All I can do is cooperate with you for that.
I'm not very clever.
That's why I want to borrow your wisdom.
Kiryou's town must stay peaceful so Mokuto-sama and Haku-sama can be safe.
My life can be used up as I see fit.
Even if I am Rotaimei the Unreachable, I can freely choose my own life.
I came here to tell you that.
