Description

Yasuke and Naoe reach the peace talks and thwart an assassination attempt.

Dialogue

• Yasuke: The peace talks will be held soon.
• Yasuke: Yamato's leaders are all here.
• Naoe: Our target, too.
• Yasuke: Lord Junkei and Lady Ayako... no love lost for each other. Nor anyone else, from what I call tell. As for the Hokkyo, I am unsure. I do not know what lurks beneath.
• Naoe: The Shinbakufu must strike. They'll want to stop the peace alliance.
• Yasuke: I will attend the ceremony. Watch from within. What role will you take?
• Naoe: On the outside in the shadows. As always.
• Yasuke: As always.
• Yasuke: I must head to the courtyard. See what Yamato's finest are up to.
• Naoe: Watch you back in that snake pit.
• Servant: A humble welcome to our honored guest.
• Hokkyo: Esteemed leaders, we make good progress. I humbly suggest we pause the peace talks briefly. In the spirit of achieving harmony, I propose that you confer privately with your trusted retainers. Let this intermission be a step towards a future where swords are replaced by words. Where peace prevails.
• Hokkyo: Ah. My esteemed guest.
• Ayako: We must be ready for anything. Prepare for it all.
• Yasuke: Where do you stand, Lady Ayako?
• Ayako: With my clan. Whether that means peace or war remains undecided.
• Yasuke: War helps no one.
• Ayako: Would your dead master agree?
• Yasuke: Lord Nobunaga was... complicated. He sought peace through war.
• Ayako: A hypocrite, then.
• Yasuke: He had no choice. And paid the price. You do have a choice.
• Ayako: Earlier, I leaned towards peace. But the more I think on it, the less I like it.
• Yasuke: A leader bound by tradition. Can she embrace change?
• Tsutsui Junkei: His is a waste of time. Any news from Lord Hideyoshi?
• Yasuke: Lord Junkei. Forgive my intrusion, but what goal do you hope to achieve tonight?
• Tsutsui Junkei: Peace, with conditions. Lady Ayako will learn obedience.
• Yasuke: Kindness can also yield loyalty.
• Tsutsui Junkei: I am her superior, not her friend.
• Yasuke: Yet friendship may secure allegiance.
• Tsutsui Junkei: Did you counsel Lord Nobunaga this way?
• Tsutsui Junkei: This interlude gives me pause. And it occurs to me that peace may not be to my liking.
• Yasuke: Decisive, but rash. Qualities of a daimyo who thrives in war.
• Yasuke: You have halted the talks. Why?
• Hokkyo: Patience, Yasuke. Let them get used to the idea of peace.
• Yasuke: Debate, not isolation, sparks peace.
• Hokkyo: This is not my first negotiation.
• Yasuke: I worry your interference fuels their mistrust.
• Hokkyo: The timing of peace is my choice. Not theirs, not yours.
• Yasuke: Guidance is your duty here. You are the Hokkyo. You can influence them for good.
