Tsukio sighed as she dropped her head back the journal laying open on her lap the delicate handwriting that she was prized for sweeping across the page like a bird in flight. She sighed feeling a few tiny kicks from her little one it was amazing how the child surived seeing as they were in the hardest of times. 3 times that year she had almost been killed by bandits, burglars and for some reason other young lords.
"Miss Tsukio, are you alright do you need some tea." Auntie asked with a kind expression sitting down beside her on the mat and resting her hand on her stomach.
"No, i'm alright just thinking about how much has changed since that law was announced." The law was on the wall of every room of her house it bright red ink and bold words showing through the lotus paper it was made from. When Tsukio had first received the noticed she had to drop it almost like it hard burned her. The notice read:
Quote:
