(AC FF-ENG) Dream

Sound of War

Arthdal

The dim light of small candles placed on the edge of the walls of the room, made the highest priest's bedroom look more beautiful and romantic. Flower petals are sprinkled all the way to the bed, which is also sprinkled with flowers on top. On the table near the bed, there were wine and various snacks.

Tanya just stood in front of the door, not having the guts to step into her own bedroom.

No.

Now this bedroom also belongs to Saya, her husband.

Tanya hugged her arms which suddenly shuddered when the word 'husband' crossed her mind. She had to think of a way to get through the night 'safely'. After Saya kissed her lips in front of the people, she was not sure that the man would keep their agreement not to touch and have sex.

Tanya gasped in surprise when she felt a touch on her back. Saya was already standing behind her, putting his arm around her shoulders.

See?

"Why don't you come in?" Asked Saya.

Tanya shook her shoulders to get rid of Saya's hand.

"I just feel... hm... amazed. This is beautiful," Tanya stepped in, walked over to the table, poured herself a glass of wine.

Say held out his hand, thinking that Tanya was going to give the glass to him, but the girl actually drank the wine herself.

"Wow, I didn't know you could drink wine."

Tanya frowned as a bitter, sour taste took over her mouth. Her throat felt hot. She couldn't, and had never drank wine before. She didn't understand why people in Arthdal, especially the men like to drink this 'poisonous' drink?

Saya smiled in amusement at Tanya's reaction after tasting the wine for the first time.

"Give it to me," he took the glass from her hand, gulping down the rest.

"It's late, let's go to sleep," said Saya.

Sleep? Tanya gulped her own saliva. She seemed to be getting paranoid about that word.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go to sleep," said Saya who had already sat under the blanket.

"Err... um... you go to sleep first. I still want to snack," said Tanya.

Saya chuckled softly, "are you afraid of me?"

Tanya laughed awkwardly, "Why am I afraid of you?"

"Tanya, I promised not to touch you. Trust me."

"Can I really believe him?" Tanya was trying to concentrate, trying to get into his mind. But she couldn't hear anything.

Seeing Tanya who was still motionless, Saya got out of bed. He spread the blanket under the floor and lay down on it.

"Saya..." Tanya felt bad.

"Go to sleep, we have a lot of work tomorrow," said Saya, closing his eyes.

~~~

Two hours passed. Saya got up and peeked over the bed, where Tanya was already lying with her eyes closed. He folded his arms across the bed, making it a pillow for his chin to rest on top of it. Without blinking he looked at Tanya's face, sleeping like a baby. His hand moved slowly to her face. His finger traced the line of her face from forehead to chin without touching it. The finger stopped on her lips, the lips he had tasted this afternoon. He wanted to taste it again.

Suddenly Tanya's eyes opened. She gasped in surprise and shifted her body away.

"What are you doing?"
