The yatagarasu race is led by the kin'u, also known as the Golden Raven. When his son, the future kin'u, is ready to take a bride, noblewomen from the Four Houses are sent to the Cherry Blossom Palace to compete for the honor of his hand in marriage.
They shoulder their families' fates 
in the fierce battle about to unfold.
يحملن على عاتقهن مصير عائلاتهن
.في المعركة الضارية التي تلوح في الأفق
Hier beginnt ihr erbitterter Kampf
um den Thron,
Con el destino de sus familias a cuestas
se enfrentarán a esta fiera batalla
Son quienes portan el sino de sus clanes
C’est une bataille féroce entre familles,
pour cette position sans égal,
Sta per avere inizio una feroce contesa
tra le principesse
Elas trazem sobre os ombros
o destino de suas famílias,
Бились не на жизнь, а на смерть, ибо на их
плечи были водружены судьбы их семей.
