      Per AI translation : " I have already told the daimyo that I am truly sorry ! And you said you would not reveal my affair to the public !! "

        The Apple translate thingie says:

        I’ve already said to the daimyo, “I’m really sorry”! And you said you wouldn’t reveal my affair to the public!!

        you’re right, firstly, と can’t be used on its own like that to mean “and”, then 我の is not a thing, it’s 我が but really it should have been 僕の or something

        and I think it should have been either 明かすな or 明かさないで, 明かさない is just plain negative

          我のdefinitely is a thing (ware no), especially if you’re someone important like a daimyo. And と言いました is correct because you’re quoting (or reporting) something another has said.

          Edit: oh I guess the speaker isn’t the daimyo. In any case, ware-no is grammatically correct.

        Especially because they’re trying to emulate the samurai dialect. It’s inaccurate, but deserves points for trying!
