Ushiromiya Natsuhi
Natsuhi: Whaaa. WHAAAA!
Kumasawa: ...M-Madam...
Natsuhi: It's nothing...! Leave me be...!
Natsuhi flew into her room and bent over the bed, lamenting... Those heartwrencing sobs reached Kumasawa in the hallway...
Kumasawa: ...Poor Madam Natsuhi... There is a deep enmity between her and Eva-sama. Explaining their relationship would be very tiresome for a woman such as myself... The Ushiromiya family held blood in high regard, but of someone married outside the family, they were normally removed from the family hierarchy. ...Thus, under normal circumstances, Eva-sama should have been removed when she married Hideyoshi-sama. However... this was not anyone's fault. Madam definitely bore no guilt. There's no way to say it other than calling it s whim of god. ...Krauss-sama and Natsuhi-sama were not blessed with children for some time. Anyway, this was the male dominant Ushiromiya family. A wife was just a tool to create a heir. ...If that wife could not fulfill her only duty, she would not be treated as a human. It is painful to remember how much the Master tortured Madam during that time... During that time, Eva-sama and Hideyoshi-sama's wedding was discussed. Eva-sama was sly. ...Taking advantage of Madam's inability to become pregnant, she gained the favor of the Master. She inspired him to allow her to marry and give birth to a successor herself, making sure to avoid transferring her name out of the Ushiromiya register. There was a vast difference in the Ushiromiya hierarchy between Madam, who married into the Ushiromiya family and was treated like an outsider, and Eva-sama, who was related to the family by blood and whose husband took on the Ushiromiya name. And beyond that, Eva-sama was the first to give birth to a boy... As for how much weaker Madam's position was compared to Eva-sama, I believe you could see for yourself... I'm sure Madam is tormented by the thought that if only she had gotten pregnant earlier, the Master wouldn't have accepted Eva-sama's request to keep her last name after marriage, and Eva-sama wouldn't have been permitted to act as arrogantly as she had today... However... that was not Madam's fault... All of the blame lies wuth god's whims and the stork that delivered Jessica late... Even so, Madam won't allow herslef to see things this way... She probably can't help but cry bitter tears at her inability to carry out the duties expected of a wife... Ahh, how sad... I cannot do anything except watch over her from the shadows...
