Paimon's eyes turned around when he heard this. "So this marriage was orchestrated by the retainers of the Hiiragi family out of their own selfish motives?"

Sora looked at Paimon approvingly, "Paimon, you have grown up."

The previous Paimon was the simplest one among them and could not understand all these conspiracies.

Guessing that Su didn't like roundabout and ambiguous riddles, Kamisato Ayato laid out everything and explained it very clearly and thoroughly.

Kamisato Ayato: "If the truth about the letter is discovered by Miss Hiiragi, they are not afraid of being held accountable. They can just say that a family member acted on his own initiative and just wanted to make things right."

"But if he succeeds, he can easily achieve his goal of sidelining Miss Hiiragi. After devouring her, in just a few years, the Hiiragi family will exist in name only. The position of Kande Bugyo will naturally and legitimately fall into his hands."

Su showed a disgusted expression, "Just a letter can cause so much trouble. These guys' intelligence is focused on conspiracy and infighting."

"What Su said is right. I also feel sorry that there are so many bugs among the Inazuma officials." Kamisato Ayato sighed, "Ms. Hiiragi may not know that a while ago, there was a rebellion within the Tenryo Bugyo."

"After Kujo Takayuki was imprisoned, the Tenryo Bugyo was very unstable. Everyone knew that the Tenryo Bugyo would be replaced, but the Shogun's order had not yet come down."

The two major magistrates and a group of officials with major problems were removed, but Inazuma's mess still needed to be dealt with, and the officials of the magistrate's office continued to work with trepidation.

"The Kujo family has lost control over their retainers, so the most ambitious and powerful Takashi family will seize every opportunity to gain the attention and favor of the Shogun."

"At the same time, they imprisoned the current head of the Kujo family, Mr. Kujo Kamajui, who was blocking their way to ascend the throne, and forced him to sign a confession to the Shogun, resigning from his position as a commissioner."

Hiiragi Chisato was shocked: "What?! That Kamajit...!" Of course Kamajit was fine, otherwise she wouldn't be able to discuss marriage with her now.

It’s just that Kamji has gone through such a dangerous thing...he has grown a lot.

Kamisato Ayato continued, "That incident was resolved personally by the Shogun, who hated boring political games. It was the ministers' fault that the Shogun took action."

"As a clerk under the general, I have the obligation to help her with her affairs. That is why I came to you to tell you the truth."

"Being together with the one you love is a happy event that should not be tarnished. I sincerely hope that you two can usher in happiness without any haze."

"But the current situation is not like that. The conspiracy behind this happy event is full of negative effects on you and Inazuma."

Chisato Hiiragi clenched her hands. Originally, she and Kamajiro thought that as long as they could walk hand in hand, they would not have to worry about other things. With their concerted efforts, everything would slowly get better.

But now she realized that her retainers had long been ignoring her personal will, and even her marriage had become a victim of the power struggle.

She originally thought that the anxiety deep in her heart was confusion about marriage. Only now did she realize that it was actually an instinctive premonition of the consequences of losing power.

Once she really marries into the Kujo family, she will completely lose her title as the daughter of the Hiiragi family, her status in the Kanjo Bugyo, and her independent self, until she becomes a vassal of Kamajiri.

Hiiragi Chisato could barely stop the slight tremors of anger and fear.

Kamisato Ayato seemed to have noticed nothing and said sincerely: "From my personal standpoint, I would like to share a story with you——"

The Kamisato family had a particularly difficult time.

Someone secretly tampered with the sword manual, making it impossible to make the sword to be presented to the Shogun. Some swordsmiths fled with their families to winter, and the Kamisato family, who was in charge of swordsmiths, was implicated and almost lost their position as shrine magistrate.

"In order to make up for the mistakes of the Kamisato family and restore the family's reputation, my father worked hard and overworked to the point of premature aging. And my mother, who loved my father deeply, passed away not long after."

"After my parents passed away, undercurrents began to surge within the shrine, and every retainer felt that the Kamisato family had lost power, and my sister and I were nothing more than a burden that got in the way."

There are countless people who want to use them, and want to get rid of them.

As a teenager, Kamisato Ayato took his younger sister and dealt with all kinds of people with bad intentions, trying various ways to protect the safety of himself and his younger sister.

"While I was looking for a strong support, I endured a lot of slander and exploitation. It doesn't matter what I become, but the "family" that my parents cherish and the relatives that I cherish must not be trampled upon."

"Fortunately, I did my best to hold on and prevented the Kamisato family from falling. I am still here today with my sister Ayaka."

"Life is difficult, but success depends on human effort." Kamisato Ayato picked up the tea and said, "Let's encourage each other."

Only today did Chisato Hiiragi understand why the noble son of the Kamisato family and Princess Shirasagi had abandoned their traditions and aristocratic reserve and appeared frequently in front of people many years ago.

Only by exposing herself to others in this way can I better protect my sister's safety.

What the young Kamisato siblings faced at that time was dozens of times more dangerous than what she was facing.

"Every word you say will be cherished in my heart..." Hiiragi Chisato bowed solemnly, "Thank you so much, Kamisato-sama."

In fact, she had always been a little afraid of this wise and almost diabolical young master of the Kamisato family, but today's sincere words revealing her wounds made her change her mind a lot, and she was even more moved and grateful for Kamisato's sincere advice.

Chisato Hiiragi had made up her mind, and Kamisato Ayato said no more as he led the group of travelers and left the Kanjo Bugyoso.

Obviously he went there to have fun, but after watching it Su couldn't laugh at all, and only felt irritated.

Paimon sniffed even more frequently, feeling that Chisato Hiiragi was so pitiful, and that Ayato and Ayaka were so miserable in the past.

Kong did notice something. He was always wary of people who were too smart and good at manipulating others.

Sora: "From your perspective, you don't just want to help Chisato Hiiragi today, do you?" Beings like Kamiko and Ayato want to gain multiple benefits when doing something.

"Hahaha, after all, I am also a magistrate. For me, the stability of Inazuma is the most important." Kamisato Ayato admitted generously, "This matter affects the three magistrates and concerns the stability of the entire Inazuma. My neutral attitude ends here."

"What I did was also considered as a favor to Miss Hiiragi. Dealing with the Hiiragi family is certainly much more convenient than making friends with a strange new family."

Firstly, the three magistrates were not supposed to intermarry or form alliances. The damage that the Tenryo Magistrate and the Kanjo Magistrate brought to Inazuma last time when they colluded with each other has not yet been resolved.

Secondly, he had investigated the families that could succeed the Kanjo Bugyo, and they were all garbage.

Rather than fighting with old and cunning old men, it is better to let young people who are immature but purer and have more ideals take the stage.

Three Comes······

"I also want to see Su today, thank you." Kamisato Ayato looked at the girl and invited her again: "I wonder if you can honor me by coming to my Kamisato home..."

Before Kamisato Ayato could finish, a voice interrupted him.
