My family died in that war. I came back alone with the remaining army. Someone harmed us. I need to know who. So I returned to the capital.
That's when I met him again. Jin. Also known as General Reis now.
I did not understand why he chose to do tha...
Jin ; come meet me at this address in the afternoon.
Lianari takes over the paper " where's this ?"
Jin : be discreet.
Lianari: got it. Anyways, I'll go give Mr Jura a chase.
Jin ; so you're going for the revenge route.
Lianari: I need to know... Who did my family in.
Jin ; what if the answer is not something you want to hear ?
Lianari; .... I know what you mean. If it is... What I think it is... Then I'll have to let go. Don't I ?

So she reached the address given.
.... You've got to be kidding me. It's all the way on the other side of the lake ? Where am I going to get a boat ?
That's when a boat starts rowing over.
" Miss ? Miss Lianari. "
Lianari: yes.
" Please come aboard."
So she does and get a lift across the lake. She slights and climbs a short flight of stairs and was invited into the manor.
He definitely is rich now. Maybe I shouldn't have left 1/3 of my family riches to Tarae to manage the army. Oh well. Too late to regret now.
She enters a piece of garden and saw many different breeds of trees and flowers. She starts smelling them and appreciating them.
These are so pretty ~ Hm ? Music ? Two zithers playing.
She walked towards the music and sees Jin and another lady playing the zither together under the pavilion.
That's his lover huh. She's very pretty. I should leave.
" Lianari ! Little idiot !" Jin called out as they played the last note.
She sweatdrops and turned around " what ?!! I'm not an idiot !!" She walked over.
She takes a seat at the table while the two does as well next to each other.
" Nice to meet you. Lianari. I'm Yuri. "

Lianari: hi. I got it. You have a real lover. You want me to help keep the secret. I was going to leave already.
Yuri laughed a little.
Lianari: why don't you marry her ?
Yuri ; I'm General Bino's daughter. Everyone thinks I'm dead already.
Lianari: it's ok isn't it ? He's a General. He'll protect you. You can just be undead.
Jin knocks her head " it's not that easy. "
Yuri ; I'm the traitor's daughter
Lianari: I see. But you're the General. Just say you've lots of achievements to claim. Have her married to you. She can't die then.
Jin : she will still have to face gossips.
Lianari: you two are in love isn't it ? Then it doesn't matter.
Jin ; not everyone is like you.
Lianari: oh. So... You need me to cover you ? For when you're not in ?
Jin knocks her head again " she's sick. "
Lianari: ow ! Stop it.
Jin ; help me cure her.
Lianari takes her pulse " .... Cure as in pregnant ready? That's all you want right ?"
Jin ; not possible? Even with your uncle's skills ?
Lianari: the poison is too far in. If you want it all out , she will have to go through great suffering. What's the point though? Just maintain and live till 70, will be no problem.
Jin looked to Yuri " is that ok ?"
Yuri nods " as long as I'm still here with you. "
Lianari: I'll change your medicine a little.
Yuri ; so you're a physician?
" huh ? No. I'll go find the butler of this place." She walks off " butler ! Butler ! "
Jin ; she was in the army. She inherited her uncle's skills since she was 7 . Others read books to be more refined. She read medicine books. Then when she was 10, they started to train her in martial arts.
Yuri ; I see. I can see how that's a good partner for you.
