The Reeve had returned the nod of greeting from her Lady with a bow, though in truth her attention was focused upon the newcomer, Goto. So far, there was nothing to worry about, though the Demon had carried a full Daisho. That meant that she was either an oddity like Takeda, a relic from a traditional family in modern times, or she truly was an Elder. Given her title of Madame, Takeda assumed it was the later, which was even more worrying, for she knew as well as anyone that a Bushi, a warrior, did not rely upon their swords. They were the weapon, the sword was merely an extension of that.
Thankfully, that extension was an advantage that Takeda still had should Goto prove to be an issue.
