Wait, isn’t this dragon a castle item last BE?
God, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the worst person.
“All I want is for mother to see me as her son.”
My interpretation on SLBP Masamune during his teen days.
The Royal Signs III:
Aries: An exile. As close to a leader as anything. Decades of experiments. Inhuman flesh. A blank porcelain mask, inscribed with a single symbol. The only thing left untouched is her hair.
Taurus: The Knights Captain, daughter of the high priestess. A martyr. A township saved, burning like a star in the dry autumn heat. Blazing wings.
Gemini: The King Under The Ice. A stolen childhood. Small shoulders for an impossible burden. A desperate bargain to contain an ancient evil.
Cancer: The first queen. A woman more scars than flesh. Respect commanded by tooth and claw. Legend says even the beasts bowed their heads when she spoke.
Leo: The High Priestess, come to make good on an old covenant. Thunder on the mount. Eyes burned by sights from the land of the dead. A flash of thunder revealing the legions of ancestral dead, come to heed her call to arms.
Virgo: A young princess, currently being carried to safety in a backpack. She wraps her tiny hands around the shoulders of her bodyguard and tries to sleep.
Libra: A empress by title, an alchemist by desire. Long trips to the countryside spent foraging in swamps and mountain caves. Jars of exotic insects displayed proudly to less than excited diplomats.
Scorpio: A general. Born with an ancient and rare gift. A man who could speak to beasts. Said to be the first to harness the great wild things and drive them for war. Legends of an army of half-men, half-beasts.
Ophiuchus: A prince fallen prey to an old and terrible sickness. An inexplicable whistling cry that only he can hear, calling him to the mountains. There he sits, preserved in the abandoned aeries, decked in scales.
Sagittarius: The renegade prince. Palace finery and lavish parties forsaken for nights of adventure and intrigue in the city streets. Scandalous tales of cross-dressing and romance and baffled police.
Capricorn: A king of blood and stone. A menace to some, a savior to others. To carve out a space for his people against impossible odds and overwhelming enemies. Rites finally conducted in service of a god that was long thought to have abandoned their worshipers.
Aquarius: A queen burdened by loss. A pilgrimage to the ancestral mesa. She sits under the night sky. A low, droning tune on a horn carved from an old tree. The stars mourn with her.
Pisces: A queen of many eyes. Networks of spies that span the kingdom. A diplomatic party approaches, an assassin among them, unaware of her own assassin that already sits perched in the rafters above them.

Proposal:
Nobu: Send Letter. Demands MC why she didn't reply back.
Hide: Send letter. Woo MC in public in such a way customers gladly supports him (and perhaps they will help pressure MC to say "Yes")
Yasu: Send letter. Waits for MC. Kidnaps MC and proposes to her in private.

Reaction on MC's Hesitation/Refusal:
Nobu: "I NEED a reason? (You Brazen little thing) Fine then, I'll stay here in Kyoto for now, but I"ll take you with me when I get back to Owari...See to it YOU FIND that precious reason."
Hide: 😥😥 "I wonder if I came on a little too strongly." He then cooks another plan and then proceeds with Plan B.
Yasu: "You refuse...A PROPPSAL OF FINE MARRIAGE??" And after exchanging expletives, he visits MC's restaurant to bully her everyday until she snaps.
.
Turned Tables:
Nobu: Saves MC from Goons.
Hide: Plan B = Help MC's mom and invites MC to a sweet "last" date with him.
