THIS WAS NOT A WOMAN , however much she smiled and smiles . Wolf-teeth hid behind her demure mouth . She was some clan’s precious war dog —— purple is a pricey dye , after all , and he was a creature cut from the same cloth . “ That is inappropriate , ” he hissed , his voice curt . But he also wondered of ‘ that aunt of his ’ and the recent eccentricities , starting with his own lord-father and now this . A vassal from the vanished Kina , with a name like ‘ Raikō ’ , who all but twisted his arm to follow him . Kept close yet strangely did not sniff for weakness . “ The Empress Mother shall be given the reverence she is owed , even from you , even in here . ” It was the dull truth , and the empress hardly cared for a humble nephew beyond what he could offer her sons .
“ Did she send you to spy on me ? ” Hóngyán sighed , kicking aside another broken door to yet another bottom pit with only perches to get across . The dungeon was like a macabre bird cage . If not the perches and swings , then all the carved stone and rotten wood covered in feathers and human remains . “ I have no designs —— and watch your footing . A woman should not step so happily on old corpses … ”

Lonesome and cruel, teeth bare to the enemy and predators who dared upon her path of decay and destruction. A short fuse, the irritation on her face was hidden but somewhat visible. Was this a joke? Flatter her with sweet words and catch her off guard? An attire so out of place to the vast many in this crown. THIS WOMAN, THIS WOMAN. She was either very unlucky that she was whomever issued a hit on her head, or she chose the wrong person to try and woo.

“ 𝐈𝐅 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐔𝐍 would shine on them each morning ! but blood still spills and to saunter into one day after the other , gazing upon fields and luminous skies is a kind of laxity that men will die for . haah , forgive me . . . i did not mean to splash you with my blade so gracelessly . i suppose it ’ s fine , so long as that smile echoes brightly upon your face . at least the last thing they see will be splendor . ”

𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐒 , forsakes the blush of human terror she had learned to paint a lifetime ago . Haughtiness hardly forgotten , once noble and most beloved , she threw back her head and curls her hands like claws . “ The island dwarf dare accuse me ? ” When she bares her teeth , she is still careful not to show her true eyes : beautiful and utterly demonic for the loveliest shade of crimson . Stupid child , she thinks bitterly . “ Do not forget whose generosity it is that you even managed to entered this nest . I’ll flay you myself , thinking me an oni . ” There is a grudge born , but while it is a little thing , she decides not to let it grate her nerves . What a good nose this child had ! Smelling her inhumanity . Not oni , but a monster all the same . She loosens , like a pulled braid , remembers the face she had before — beautiful and deceiving soft — and reaches to dust off the ruble , wipe off the blood off the other woman’s shoulders . “ Now … go pick yourself some trophies . It does stink here , you’re right , and I’d not want to stay longer . ”
