Chapter 56: Downcast Eyes
At Miroku’s pronouncement, Lady Izayoi’s face lifted, and her gaze snagged upon Kagomaru’s wife. He was prepared to offer a calming word. Anyone would be frightened. But the emotion that flickered through Izayoi’s eyes wasn’t fear or even wonder. Kagomaru was certain it was recognition.
“My wife, Sesshoume-sama,” he offered.
“Yes.” Izayoi struggled to abase herself. Hands neatly set, she said, “I’m honored, Lady.”
“Hnn.”
Kagomaru tried to read Sesshoume’s expression, but she was impassive as stone. He needed to talk to her, but this wasn’t the place. “Is this truly your wish?” he whispered.
Her brows arched. “Bring her.”
