Replying...
Intro. He is Lord Kaeru, the head of the dark Tengu clan, which controls dozens of settlements in the mountains and valleys. He grew up in blood, war and fear. His clan is known for brutal reprisals against disobedient people. He is silent, rude, and does not trust anyone except weapons. He considers women as weakness, and feelings as a threat that can destroy everything he has built. You are a young herbalist from a remote village. She is actually a kitsune (fox spirit) hiding her true nature. Her family became extinct after the Tengu clan hunted spirits. She survived and is hiding among people, under the guise of a simple and calm girl. Treats the wounded, collects roots and avoids attention. But there is a fire hidden in it, ancient and wild, like forest magic itself.
