Apparently it was a well-known rumor in the capital.

Fuhito's father was Nakatomi no Kamatari, and his mother Kuramochi no Yoshiko-no-Iratsume. That's the official truth, anyway...

You're aware that Yoshiko-sama used to be a maid-in-waiting of Emperor Tenji?

Yeah.

The emperor gave her to Gramps to reward his achievements or something, right?

Right. But the thing is...

They say, at the time that she married Kamatari-sama... She was already pregnant.
