Kicho's mouth fell open. Then joy detonated through her like fireworks, and she was bouncing on her toes, spinning in circles.

She had dreamt of this—a romantic life with her husband Nobunaga and her beloved sister together in Gifu.

She had even arranged that unforgettable night, the two of them serving Nobu-kun in the same bed—but Violet had vanished before dawn, off on her quest of revenge.

Now, a whole year later, Euphy had become Queen Violet. Nobu-kun ruled a far bigger country. Kicho had resigned herself to believing that dream was only ever a dream.

Yet Violet was making it real—calling it a vacation, but Kicho knew her sister's heart. Euphy meant to fulfill her dream at last.

Kicho seized Euphy's arm and ran, sandals clattering across the veranda. They nearly collided with a servant, who froze at the sight of her supposedly-away mistress returned so suddenly—and in the company of another stunning foreigner no less.

"Prepare the onsen, and summon Lord Nobunaga there," Kicho commanded, cheeks glowing. "Tell him his wife wants to see him. Badly."
