There where so many questions spinning around in Harumi's head she felt dizzy. With a pale face she she looked at the tree ladies before her while her head was buzzing.
"Who are you?" Was the first question that her lips formed. She had no idea why this question popped in her head first. There were so many more important questions. For example, who is the person who is playing this sick joke on her?
"I'm Kasai Masa, your head maid." The oldest woman explained. Harumi thought she was around thirty years old but already had some gray streaks in her hair. "This is Xia Lin." She motions to the girl on her right what probably is just a bit older than Harumi. "And this is Toujou Rike." She motions to the last girl. It would surprise Harumi if Rike-chan is over sixteen years old.
"And what is this place?" Harumi asked after a moment. The three women looked at her with surprise.
"This is Komaki castle..." Masa-kun explained. "We are currently in your personal quarters. This castle is a bit different than the other castles here in Japan. We don't have a separate inner castle. Plus your quarters are probably a lot smaler than the inner castle you are used to Hime-sama." Masa-kun continued.
"Please, just call me Ha.." Harumi started. She cringed every time someone called her princess. But she could check herself before exposing her real name. "Nohime or Kicho. And this place is enormous, I don't know what i should do with all this space."
"Nohime-sama, We should probably get you ready..." Lin-kun said nervously. Apparently she didn't want to interrupt Harumi.
"For what?" Harumi asked. Did she have to do another ceremony of some sort?
"For your wedding night of course, to validate the wedding!" Rike-chan blurred out. She directly got a stern look from Maka-kun which made Rike-chan look at the floor in remorse.
"What?" Harumi asked. The little color she had lest in her face disappeared completely and her eyes almost popped out of her head. She was still confused about the situation, mad at the real Nohime and completely flabbergasted that she married a complete stranger not even one hour ago! And not some guy, Oda Nobunaga. Even with Harumi's lack of historical logic, even she knew who he was. A tyrannical man that destroyed all his enemies. And now these women who claimed to be hair maids said she had to have sex with this guy? Over her death body that this guy was going to take her virginity!
