Fighting for my life
Daimyo Challenge

Hattori had been expecting this for quite some time. The rank of Daimyo was challengeable for a reason, to ensure that no one got too comfortable and secure in their position. It was a heavy title with many strings and responsibilities attached and so if anyone thought they were deserving then it was their right to try and fight for it. He imagined that Hela was none too pleased by the shift in the rank's nature, having "earned" it before Hattori's arrival, but in all honesty he was not impressed by the Klein woman. Be it bad fortune or arrogance she simply hadn't been performing all that well as of late, perhaps too busy raising her children who were more than capable of mostly looking out for themselves now.
Regardless, Hattori was quick to heed Plague's call. He slowed to a walk as he entered the shelter of the pale trees and moved to position himself beside and a little behind the Empress. They had not spoken one on one yet but the Shogun had seen the man's work, knew he would put his all into this fight. If nothing they would provide Venom with some entertainment, after her long confinement with the children.
