"I understand,"Homura Ryuu answered softly.
In reality, he had already forgotten about the Makura, although he knew her personally. She was after all raised together with him. But for the Homura heir, her existence was just like the existence of everyone else in the clan: the servants, the soldiers, the workers.
Aside from his parents, Yayoi, and Kazehaya Gin, the Koutaishidenka didn't really have any special connection with anyone else. Human emotions were beyond his understanding sometimes. They were too complicated. After all, aside from being the Homura heir, Homura Ryuu had another special existence in the clan.
It was said that every once in thousands of years, celestial beings got bored and descended to the mortal realms to create mischief. Although they were born into their own bloodline via their descendants, they retained their original powers. Beings like them were called "Returners to Ancestry," a very rare, yet very special type of existence.
