Wedding contract
Suddenly the emperor grabs his arm and takes him to a corner out of public view.
KATSUNO
What are you doing?
MASAMI
I'm helping you.Can't it be seen?
KATSUNO
May I know how you are helping me?😠
MASAMI
This marriage is just a union between our two kingdoms, therefore a political affair.
MASAMI
I know you don't like me "Katsuno".
MASAMI
You can just put your imperial concubine on the throne and everything will be settled. She's dying for it.
KATSUNO
You are so disrespectful, you dare to call me by my first name?
MASAMI
See, you don't want such a disrespectful woman, do you? So let's just not get married.
KATSUNO
If you do not accept this marriage, I am afraid that our two kingdoms will be at war. And that a lot of blood will be shed.
MASAMI
Are you threatening me?
MASAMI
But who do you think you are?
MASAMI
I'm afraid someone other than you will be in power if you continue like this.
KATSUNO
I would like to know who else could run this empire as well as me.
MASAMI
Are you challenging me?
KATSUNO
If you succeed in assassinating me within the next 12 months then you could become the one and only Empress of the Eastern Empire.
KATSUNO
I would cede my throne to you and you would reign alone over this empire.
MASAMI
It's you who will kill me.
KATSUNO
Very well then. Let's do it like this.
KATSUNO
After the wedding, I will send you the contract.
MASAMI
I am counting on you, my future husband.
KATSUNO
As an emperor and as a man, I will never go back on my word.
MASAMI
I sure hope that’s the case.
