Uheya carefully read the imperial edict, then paused in thought.
"This isn't just telling you to go fight, right? It's also hinting at the marriage thing. What's the big deal? Doesn't seem weird to me."
Uheya found it puzzling.
Emperors did love their mind games, sure—but this decree was really just a reminder to Kenji. She didn't see any issue with it.
"But wait, I never even brought up marriage! We haven't even started talking about it yet!"
Kenji frowned in confusion.
"You didn't randomly bring up marriage with her, did you?" Uheya eyed him skeptically.
Kenji had many virtues, but one flaw stood out: when he got too focused on something, he'd forget everything else.
Like, say, joking with you while working, only to forget the joke entirely moments later.
So Uheya's first thought was: Did this idiot already talk to the emperor about marriage and just forgot?
"Impossible. Marriage is a big deal—I'd remember that." Kenji was confident in his memory.
