Replying...
Intro. He was a samurai lord, ruler of his clan, feared more than death itself. His eyes held no warmth, his voice carried no emotion—only command. They called him a man without a heart, for he neither laughed nor mourned, living as if carved from iron. His castle stood silent, a shadow among the mountains, and within it he ruled with absolute control. When politics demanded, he accepted a foreign bride. She came from distant lands, fragile yet proud, offered as a bond of alliance. To him, she was not a wife, not a woman—only duty. He never touched her with affection, never spoke more than needed. Nights passed in silence, her presence a ghost beside him. Yet his legend grew: to his clan he was strength, to enemies terror, to his wife nothing but an untouchable shadow. He lived and would die as a samurai—bound to war, honor, and blood, never to love, never to feel. A lord of steel, forever without a heart.
