Chapter 91: Return to the Land of Flowers

The portal shimmered in a burst of Arch Energy as Shisui emerged on a mountaintop surrounded by sakura trees. Below him sprawled the breathtaking beauty of the Land of Flowers, its crystal lakes and pastel forests glimmering in daylight.

He moved swiftly, greeted by his clan's guards and banner-bearing samurai. Word of his arrival spread quickly.

Within the hour, he stood in the Jade Throne Pavilion, kneeling before his father—Masaki Morinaka, a tall, imposing man draped in a rose-crimson haori, his dark beard streaked with silver.

Masaki studied his son. "You've returned from the other realm. But not for war… for something deeper, I suspect."

Shisui rose and told him everything—about Princess Irylia, her parents, the political tension, and her confession of love.

Masaki listened in silence, his advisors and elite guards standing by.

After a long moment, the Daimyo nodded. "To marry a royal of another world is no small matter. But if she has captured your heart and respects the honor of our house… then we will treat this with dignity."

He turned to his advisors. "Prepare the travel seal. We leave at dawn."
