Chapter 149: Hollow Fame
Seireitei, 2nd Division Barracks.
Kōga Kuchiki sat alone in his cell, his face dark and grim.
Betrayed by those he trusted, he was filled with grief and indignation, struggling to suppress the turmoil within him. But he hadn't lost hope. He firmly believed that his revered father-in-law would not be swayed by mere rumors!
For the sake of his son-in-law and the honor of the Kuchiki Clan, he would uncover the truth.
Kōga glanced at the tightly shut prison door, a flicker of expectation in his eyes.
Would his esteemed father-in-law walk in at any moment, telling him that the investigation was complete and he had been proven innocent?
Suddenly, he furrowed his brows, catching the conversation of the Shinigami guards outside.
"It's the first time I've seen a prisoner living more comfortably than the guards."
"Keep your voice down. He's still the son-in-law of the Kuchiki Clan, and Captain ordered us to take good care of him."
"Captain!?"
"Yeah, Captain! They say it's because of Aozaki-sama that we're treating him well. Otherwise, do you think he'd be getting this kind of treatment in prison?"
