Tanya was starting to have the headache. The guests who came just kept on asking favors to the priestess. Some of the favors were utterly ridiculous.

One wanted to have a baby girl, can she make sure of the sex of the baby?

The other one wanted a to confirm if he needs to breed his horse with the neighbor's horses. Sigh!

It wasn't helping that Mubaek hasn't come for any reports from her people. Its been days.

"Yangcha, I need a few moments alone." She nods her head to the servants too.

Tanya closes her eyes and breathes. Life in Arthdal was very different from Iark. It was so simple. She looked afar thinking of some of the moments of the tribe.

" Dalsae and the others caught a bear!!!... lets celebrate!!! "

"...Mungtae just found batches of flowers for the festival.. "

"Doti and the other children gathered berries for Mother Choseol's offerings."

"... everyone with paint on their face in preparation for the festival..

She felt the tears start flow.

Yangcha stands in front of the door. He can't help getting worried. The priestess lost weight and wasn't sleeping fine if the shadows under her eyes are any indication. For unknown reasons, he didn't want to add to her stress. She seems to be jumpy around him these days.

Maybe, because she doesn't trust you too.. Yangcha thought. She did say he was a gosal. A killer. Yangcha had never looked at himself from another person's view. He was just always following orders. He never thought of thinking beyond that.

".. he said to make it sound desperate.. " one of the callers whispered.

".. or else he wont pay anything! " the other chimed in.

"Ssshhh... we must not let others know Lord Saya paid us.." the last one said.

Yangcha was irritated. That man! So he planned to exhaust the priestess before attacking. The warrior entered the room. Tanya didn't expect anyone in so soon.

"I told to be left alone... " she said sternly. She saw the warrior and started to wipe her face.. He saw the tears and looked away.

"Men don't usually like tears, Father told me once." Tanya said with understanding. "I guess its because.."

"I don't like you crying too," Yangcha thought. He didn't know why.

She felt her heart quicken at his words. Its been days since her dance to the Gods, but still. What is this feeling?

No, it must be the stress. Tanya shakes her head as if to clear her thoughts.

"Lord Saya has been paying your callers to distract you, " Yangcha said seeing her shaking her head. He didn't want to explore that statement too. He was not comfortable at the thoughts coming to his head. He is a warrior.
