Who knows what kind of nightmare
it could become?
1:00:05
So I imposed upon a merchant who
frequented the Kii Mansion...
1:00:09
...and after much
discussion...
1:00:11
...we were able to arrange a meeting
with Sir Ichijo Narihisa...
1:00:15
...who was staying in the West
Quarters of the Mansion.
1:00:18
Kisoya... haven't you
ever heard...
1:00:21
...people say that "lanterns and
bells can never go together?"
1:00:24
But, Sir Ichijo...
1:00:27
Listen to me, Kisoya.
1:00:29
The owner of this mansion,
Sir Kii Yorihisa...
1:00:34
...happens to be the 3rd-ranking
Provincial General.
1:00:38
But, 3rd-ranking means... that they're
at the same level as my House.
1:00:45
That means, Kisoya...
1:00:48
...that unless he's the noble son
of a Daimyo or something...
1:00:52
...discussing his marriage to a princess
is just absurd, isn't it?
1:00:57
"Unless he's the noble son of
a Daimyo or something...?"
1:00:59
That's right.
1:01:00
That's right.
T... The truth is that...
1:01:04
What is it?
1:01:07
No... It's nothing.
1:01:14
"Unless he's the noble son of
a Daimyo or something..."
1:01:18
Considering the situation, I considered
revealing Tsuruchiyo's lineage...
1:01:23
...but I just couldn't, not
without asking you.
1:01:28
Of course not.
1:01:31
Even if marriage negotiations
were entered into...
1:01:33
...who knows what problems of
social standing might arise?
1:01:38
Besides, until he becomes
a worthy warrior...
1:01:41
...until he's mastered swordmanship,
and we can be proud of him...
1:01:47
...until then, the truth must
not be revealed.
1:01:49
That was the promise we and His
Highness made to each other.
1:01:52
We're nowhere
near that time!
1:01:54
In the meantime...
1:01:56
...the marriage negotiations concerning
Kiku-hime and Miyamori Betto's...
