Mizuki could only smile as the red haired woman named Kaede and the tall black haired woman named Asuka stated their reasons for accepting such a task. Nodding in approval, the princess clasped her hands behind her back. About to give a reply until another woman interrupted. Surprised, she turned to look at a beautiful woman in a blue color light armor that showed off the body a bit. Curiously, the princess listened to this woman's outburst hole her brother simply chuckled in mild amusement. Of course the rest of the experienced Samurai in the courtyard that served her father were probably quite offended at how this woman talked to the Emperor's daughter. Yukimura probably would had said something, if not for the fact that Mizuki didn't seem to mind and just found her actions interesting.

The next who spoke was a Demon Slayer, and her words seemed to make Yukimura shift a bit nervously as he glanced at his little sister. Mizuki gazed at the woman, tilting her head a little with a slight frown. The last one? How sad... In a way she wanted to ask why this was the case, but she decided against it. Probably was rude. A smile crossed her lips as she nodded with approval before looking to kunoichi who spoke of her name, village and occupation as well.

Honestly it was quite a surprise to Mizuki so many wanted to accompany her. She felt a bit honored... And two of them didn't wish for anything of reward. With a soft musical laugh, the Princess cheerfully clasped the three hands of the women who spoke up. [b]"Apologies, it is very nice to meet you as well. You are of course welcome as well... Is there any particular reason you have decided to join me?"[/b] she asked them curiously as well if it's anything but loyalty to the emperor or something else. Father did say to be wary of imposter warriors after all.. Though she didn't understand what he meant.
