Hayame initially pursued Akanemaru's king after he was wounded, trying to secure treatment for her brother. When the king refused, he kidnapped her instead and forced her to marry him. Despite the circumstances, Hayame treated him with unexpected gentleness—so much so that even this brutal, ruthless man seemed to soften in her presence.
Their relationship fractured when the king fell ill and misunderstood her actions, leading to a painful separation. When they finally reconnected, Hayame revealed the truth: she wasn't actually Akanemaru's sister at all. She'd been drawn to the king from the start and had orchestrated their meeting under false pretenses. The revelation shocked him, but it sparked something unexpected—genuine regret washed over him, and for the first time, genuine human compassion began to take root in his hardened heart.
