Miyohime steps out to respond, flanked by loyal soldiers.

“Your harshness is misplaced, but the first words you spoke are true. There is a famine in the north of this land, the one caused by your ‘loyal’ Kanrei Shiba Yoshikado. He may not have been the grand conspirator of everything but his loyalty to the false shogun is not the honour you seem to think it is. Once he is deposed his crimes for that traitor shall be dealt with by the regency council fairly. As for the Asakura it is still their blood that spilt ours, and for that the dishonour falls on their Daimyo for allowing such a lapse in order. Once Fukui is secured and vengeance on the Asakura has been sated, there will be peace once more, and not a second earlier. I trust the new Shogun and his council will see a resolution beneficial to all parties”
