Lianari took her pulse " hmmm... Almost there. "
Yuri ; thank you for doing this.
Lianari: I'm bored anyway.
Yuri : I heard Jin took in a second wife . As per decree.
Lianari: just a busybody emperor
Yuri : you're ok with her?
Lianari; Jin doesn't bring his work home. So she's kind of useless
Yuri : I see.
Lianari: sighs
Yuri: what is it ?
Lianari; I got invited to one of those tea parties.
Yuri : you don't like it ?
Lianari: nope. Hate them. I rarely go to them. I rather spend time finding snacks or make cookies.
Yuri : the war hunting colonel prefer food. Haha.
Lianari: oh shush.
Yuri ; when is it ?
Lianari: ... Tomorrow.
Yuri ; you have to go. As Lady Reis. Or they'll talk more about how it's a fake marriage.
Lianari: mm... Does it matter ?
Yuri ; it would cause less trouble for Jin.
Lianari: mmm.... Ok. I know. How about you go ? You can go as Lady Reis. You want to be anyway.
Yuri : they know your face. Also you're Colonel Lianari. Everyone knows you.
Lianari: mmm...
Yuri ; I'll give you some nice accessories. Jin always bring me some when he comes.
Lianari: mm.... Say. How did your father got branded as traitor?
Yuri ; you don't believe it ?
Lianari: I know Jin. If he believes your father is a traitor, he wouldn't take you in. He's cold like that.
Yuri ; my father was framed.
Lianari: with exactly what kind of crime ?
Yuri ; they said he colluded with outsiders and let the outsiders in causing the state that we were stationed to fall
Lianari: how did you survive?
Yuri: my father sent me out , bring a message to Jin , hoping it could save the remaining soldiers
Lianari: was he able to?
Yuri: .... they manage to hold on until I came back with Jin. Only till we came back, father passed on the place to him and passed. Jin fought back with the remaining and his solders and reclaimed the place. My family is doing ok and safe now .
Lianari: I see. He asked you to follow him.
Yuri: he asked me to marry him. I rejected him. I can't have him marry someone like me. It's not good for him. Our family, me, we are kind of like fugitives. So I kind of made him promise me to prove my father's innocence first.
Lianari: I see. So he hid you away. Say... your father sent any mails to ask for support ? Assistance
Yuri: of course !! We definitely did. We sent all those mails, how could they say we colluded. But...
Lianari: they are all gone?
Yuri: yes !! How did you know?
Lianari: um...
same tactic... except they didn't expect us to win. For me to come back. The Emperor wouldn't be so stupid to let others take his own cities. Would he...?
Yuri: Lianari. Lianari.
Lianari: huh ?
Yuri: are you ok?
Lianari: huh. Yea. Hm... you are very different to me. All... girly. Play music, read books kind.
" you can be girly too." Yuri's servant brings the box over. She opens the box and chooses a few hair accessories " how about this one?"
------------------------------------------------
At night, Jin came to visit " yuri."
Yuri: Jin~~ hehehe.
Jin: what are you making those snickering sounds for ?
Yuri: you should go home today.
Jin: I haven't come for a week. You're chasing me back?
Yuri: I made Lianari all pretty today. I used some of the really expensive hair accessories . She will look really pretty.
Jin: you are weird. You know she's my ex right?
Yuri: Jin. You don't know how you look like when you look at her right?
Jin: Like she's my ex
Yuri: you see her everytime she comes to send supplies. Such a tiny task, a colonel chooses to take the trip. Such a tiny task, a general chooses to hide away and peep. Both of you. Sighs.
Jin: who says.
Yuri shrugged " fine. I am wrong. Stay here tonight."
Jin: she wore the hair accessories back home...?
Yuri nods " um hm."
Jin stood up " I will come back tomorrow with..."
Yuri: bring me some books.
Jin: ok.
Yuri: The horse is already ready at the backyard. Maybe you should tell her about this back door. Instead of telling only about the front door.
" sssh. Nosy." and he leaves.
-------------------------------------------
Jin: Lianari?
Lianari comes out while she was taking off her clothes " what? I want to take a bath."
Jin: those hair accessories...
Lianari: Yuri gave it to me. I will... return it to her.
" its ok. You can have it. Wear it to the thing tomorrow." he closes in and helps her to take the accessories from her hair down, releasing her hair " I don't remember your hair used to have so many things. So unlike you."
She blushed a little " ... We were near the battlefield. Jin..."
Jin: hm?
Lianari: we shouldn't.
Jin: shouldn't what?
Lianari: You belong to Yuri right ?
He turned away " you will go the thing tomorrow?"
Lianari: um. Yuri said I have to. To make the gossips go away
Jin: I thought you didn't care about such things
Lianari: but it would help you right?
Jin: .... your hair have too many things. Just the butterfly one will do.
