How f*cking dares he, I hope he'll soon get the ass whooping he deserves (hopefully by Mi'isuka's hand)! And damn I love Mii'kuo now!! Sorachan is right, if both bride and parent disagree to the wedding, it should be illegal for it to take place! Although I fear this bastard has a trick up his sleeve... Anyway, I love how Nu'aano's elaborate and showy outfit clashes with Mii'kuo's sober and refined robe! Along with the respective expressions, it really sets the conflicting mood!

I second Saralyn's and Sora's comments--This is fantastic!! That snippet was so well-written; gosh darn Nu'aano, though! I'm glad that Mii'kuo is standing up for his sweet daughter <3 Mi'isuka deserves better! The silvers, purples, and blues in this doll are just exquisite, too! *.*

This is truly a stunning doll, Leaf!! The shading is sublime, and the characterization comes through so clearly! Nu'aano is obviously scum, although he dresses well. And, like Sora, I love Mii'kuo's attitude and his robes!

Now, to continue praising this gorgeous doll!! I can't get over the shading, Leaf! You make the metallic details just POP! And those LIBRARY SHELVES! They're fantastic!! The tomes are lovely, such a perfect mix of sizes, shapes, and colors! And I'm sure they're organized to perfections! ;) The outfits are fantastic! I love Mii'kuo's long, elegant robes! Nu'aano's sleeves and silver sash are really cool, too! Fantastic work, Leaf!!

Yes! Stand up for your daughter, Mii'kuo!! Show that sleazy plagiarist boy who's boss!! What a gorgeous doll and great characterization to go with it! There's still so much fire in Mii'kuo, despite everything! It's clear that he loves his daughter dearly. Technically, if both Mii'kuo and Mi'isuka refuse the proposal, Nu'aano has to back down or he could face adverse legal action in this matter.

"Nu'aano, even as a Strategist and a favourite to the Empress, you still fail to face who you really are. A coward, who finds excuse for his every single selfish desire. if not that I value our code of law, I will crush your skull with this tome in my hand. Now take back that gods-cursed proposal, and get out of my sight, you want to marry my daughter? Fine, walk over my dead body!"

My daughter is a cheater? No, it was you, you took her talent as you own, you disgraced her name. Now, give me a reason I should not dismiss you." Nu'aano's face turned purple, and he looked away from his mentor. "Your stubbornness is your downfall, Ta-Men'tei, you assume there's a backup plan for everyone. I am not like you, you were born into nobility, I into poverty. The only way for me is up, as now the only way for you is down."

"The right way? What is it then?" Mii'kuo snorted a sneer. "Tricks and manipulation? I took many students, some were nobles, but more were from lower class, just like you. All of they achieve something, small or big by honest work. But what did you do? You steal, from your peer pupils, and the most of all my daughter. When she presented me her poems, I recognised them as yours. Indeed I am foolish, I chose to believe in you. I slapped her, the only time I ever laid a hand on her.

You kicked him out, like a street dog. But Ta-Men'tei, I thank you, for you also woke him up, you showed him another way, a better way. Master, you have failed, but your daughter deserves better. Mi'isuka is still young, you can't ask her to live her days trapped in this cage of books. It is time to let go, to give her hand to someone capable, to someone holds power, real power. Think of her, and your wife, if you still value their freedom, you should bless this union."

Sweet Mi'isuka runs the library for you, what on earth did you do?" "Nu'aano, enough! You have all the ladies in the imperial court to choose from, why my daughter? Haven't we suffer enough?" "Why not, Ta-Men'tei, don't you remember? That little boy, travelling all the way from the poorest region of the Empire, came to your door, begging for you, oh the great poet laureate's guidance in literature. He had read all of your work, and he can recite them all. But what did you do?
