The Concubine Ceremony was the most important year for any family in the lands of Drangleic. The son or daughter seeking a husband or wife from a large selection from women all across the lands of Lordran. For the Oda clan, it was Ethan's turned. "My lord. It is time" said Matsuda, Ethan nodded and the two proceeded to meet the selected choices of the day.
"Too big", "Too nervous", "Too skinny", "Too much makeup", "Too much fashionable", "Too small", "Too fake". One by one the women were rejected by Prince Oda. "Bah! None of them are good. Send them away!" said Ethan as he was not only disappointed but disgusted by the choices. Matsuda nodded and told the soldiers in the room to escort them back to their carriages.
Ethan sat on his throne as he rubbed his forehead in misery. "Ugh. Women" he said. Meanwhile, as the carriages departed. One carriage came in, It was the Saito carriage, Matsuda noticed this, "Excuse me! Sorry milady But Master Oda isn't taking anymore". The woman was in a velvet ivory purple dress, wearing beautiful make-up. And having her hair neatly done to perfection, "Please good sir. Let me see the prince. I came a thousand miles to see this 'Demon King' I want and will see him" the woman said, Matusda gave in and said, "*Sigh* Alright, Come with me" the bodyguard said as he escorted the woman to the main hall. "Good Luck" he said as he waved goodbye to the woman.
As the woman entered the main hall she recalls what she still remembers to this very day: The hall was magnificent, splendor and grand. Majestic as well, At the end of the hall I see the Oda thrones, one huge one reserved for the Snow White Queen and the other two reserved for her children. Ethan sat on the right hand throne.
"Lord Oda?" she said as she kowtow towards him, "*grumbles* What is it?" as he regains focus at the task at hand. "My name is Serena, daughter of the viper" she says once more, Ethan laughed and said, "Ah yes, the viper. Tell me. Child. Have you heard of the stories and legends about me?" Ethan states as he gets up from his chair and walks slowly down the steps towards Serana. "Yes- Yes I have" she states frighteningly. Ethan put forth his hand and told her. "Let's go" he said, Serana gazed up to the man. She recalls what she saw in him: A handsome man. Stern on the outside as it is for all children of the crown. On the battlefield he fights like a demon. Off the field however you could tell by looking at him, he was calm and collective but has this presence of a tactful politician".
The good woman smiled and began walking with him. And from that day forth. Ethan wasn't so lonely no more. For he has found the woman, he has been patiently waiting for all of his life.
