Chapter 56 - The Haruka Clan

That same night, when everyone was returning home to either rest or sober up from the feast held for the Arutimetsu, Senator Kohana had begun making his moves.

He quietly rode his horse past the urban provinces into the suburbs of the capital, heading straight to the isolated parts of the city, to the region of the silent but aggressive, the peaceful but powerful,...

Haruka Clan.

He wanted to talk with their leader about something very integral to his plan. Part of him was sceptical about how this would play out; after all, she was not stupid. She was among the wisest politicians of all the nobles in power and had exceedingly great wealth, even for a noble.

After over an hour of riding on horseback, he finally reached his destination, named after the clan itself: Haruka.
