Excuse me, Landlord-sama.

I have a question for you regarding marriage. I'm not quite eighteen yet, but I realized recently on my birthday that I might very well still be here when I am, and I wanted to have a clear idea about my future.

I realize that you arrange adults who come into this world into families as spouses, and I've been told that those of us who turn eighteen here find ourselves in a similar situations once that birthday comes.

I understand that many of us aren't in relationships or don't have our partners from home here, which leaves you no other option within your established pattern but to choose partners for us.

However, what about those who do have partners here, or who meet and fall in love as teenagers? Often there is a little bit of time between people's official 'coming of age', and I'm concerned about the issue of moving into a marriage with a stranger while already dating someone. Would it be all right to ask for a reprieve for a few months until a partner comes of age, or perhaps to be allowed to choose a marriage partner if I'm already dating someone?

Thank you very much for your time.

this somehow got lost somewhere, sorry leca!! (and it's private if you want it to be)

Thank you for your concern, but to be blunt and to the point, I know what I am doing concerning marriages. So if you're destined to have an unfamiliar spouse, then you'll have one. Such is the same with having no spouse or a familiar one. Just allow me to do my job and you do yours as a citizen.

it's okay

Then you admit that the happiness of the individuals involved isn't your goal, despite your claim that it is? Making someone who is in a committed relationship marry a stranger is very cruel.

What will you do if they kill themselves? Or abuse their partner out of bitterness?

Will you take responsibility for these kinds of things?

[lessor]

Saying that is putting words in my mouth. Nowhere did I say "the happiness of the individuals involved isn't (my) goal". What someone does or does not do with their life is of little concern to me either. If someone dies, they come back. If they're abused, they can be moved somewhere else.

We'll see if you regret that way of thinking. If I'm still here when that time comes, I will burn your town down.

[lessor]

Try it. It'll all pop right back up.

But it seems a little juvenile to call me cruel and then threaten to commit arson, thus killing off a lot of natural wildlife and endangering people.

I don't live with regrets.

You've kidnapped people, taken them away from their loved ones, forced them into families with creeps who ruined their lives, and... no, I give up. Talking to you doesn't do any good.

We'll just see what happens. If there's a way to get at you, I'll find it.
