Emerald Butterfly and Otomo Daimyo

Kyuden Otomo, present day

Doji Akami-Sato bowed low before the Otomo Daimyo. "Greetings Doji Akami-Sato-san, you are welcome at Kyuden Otomo, I trust your esteemed father is in good health?"

"I care little for the wellbeing of the Emerald Champion my lord Otomo-sama."

To the untrained eye, the Otomo Daimyo barely moved. To the trained courtier, his eyebrow raised a mere fraction. That tiny motion spoke volumes to the trained eye. It was a shout of victory, the Otomo finally had the perfect weapon agains the Emerald Champion

"Akami-Sato-san, it pains me that you are not following the tenets of Bushido, you should honour and respect your father."

Doji Akami-Sato bowed her head demurely, partly out of respect but also to hide a fierce joy in her eyes. The Otomo would help her!
