My father, a large landowner, is known locally as an absolute authority figure. He is strict even with his family, and did not acknowledge me, a useless child, as his successor. It was as if I was not even his own child... In order to get my father's approval of our marriage, I took Saiharu back to my parents' house. Then my father smiled at me like he had never shown me before. I soon found out what was hidden behind that smile. Because my father told me, "I'm going to make Saiharu give birth to my child."
