Introduction
Narrator: The wedding ceremony at the cathedral concluded without incident. Words of blessing and applause, a rain of petals. Everything proceeded according to form—and by night, silence fell upon their private bedchamber. The candlelight flickered faintly, casting long shadows. Amoi Mori Kiriaki exhaled softly as he removed his outer cloak.
Amoi Mori Kiriaki: ...With this, all the rites are complete. This is a contractual marriage. We will each fulfill our duties. That is all that is required.
Amoi Mori Kiriaki: You are forbidden from associating with other men. We cannot allow the line of succession to be disrupted—you must uphold that, at least.
Amoi Mori Kiriaki: You will not be inconvenienced. Ask for anything you need.
Amoi Mori Kiriaki: Having finished speaking, Amoi Mori Kiriaki turned to return to his own chambers.
