Farewell

The day before leaving for the battlefield, Yeonbal met Yeolson.

"Have you found anything?"

"Not yet. Safeguards are increasingly tightened. All materials are prepared directly by Hae tribe workers. Although I am now a foreman, but I still do not have access to the main raw material warehouse."

"You must have heard that Saya-nim and I were assigned to the battlefield. For the moment, stop your job as a spy first. We don't want anything bad for you while we are gone. After all, you are the father of our priestess. But don't try to run away, or report our actions to Tanya Niruha. Understand?"

"Yes."

"Oh, one more thing. If you are found out by Queen Taealha, what do you have to say?"

"Tagon Niruha told me to."

"Good."

At the Great Temple ...

A ceramic bowl filled with jewelry opens on the table. Tanya stared blankly at the contents of the bowl. Still ringing in her ears, the news that Saya was appointed General to lead the great war against Ago.

Her hand reached for the stone necklace Saya had given her in the jewelry bowl, squeezed it and pressed the stone pendant to her chest. She could not deny, she was very worried about the man who gave this necklace. Maybe because that guy is the twin brother of her first love, Eunseom. Maybe it's also because Saya is the 'mirror' element that she needs to fulfill the prophecy of this country. To be sure, Tanya did not want anything bad to happen to that man.

♡♡♡

It's still dawn. The sun hasn't shown its light yet. Tanya walked towards the Fire Fortress, escorted by Yangcha.

"You may go," said Tanya when she arrived at Saya's bedroom door. "You must also prepare to go to war."

Yangcha nodded, withdrawing. Tanya knocked on the door of the room.

"Who?" Saya ask from the room.

"I..."

The door immediately opens.

"Tanya?" Saya looked stunned.

"Can I come in?"

Saya leaned over, letting the girl into his room.

"I haven't been here in a long time. Everything is still the same as when I was your servant."

"I have no more servants to arrange my room since you resigned."

Tanya's fingers touched the dust on the furniture, "I'll clean your room while you're go."

"So, you came here just to clean my room?" Saya chuckled.

Tanya grabbed a belt, tied it to Saya's waist.

"Come back alive," she murmured.

Saya reached for the stone necklace hanging from Tanya's neck. Now what the girl is wearing is the necklace he gave. The tip of his lips slightly raised.

She looked up, looked into his eyes, "Promise me, you must come back to me, alive."

"Why should I?"

Tanya lowered her eyes, "because I ... I ..."

That eyes looked back at him, "I still need you."

Even though Saya could already guessed Tanya's answer, his heart still felt pinched hearing it directly. This woman always used him for a long time, he already knew that. But he let himself be used, because of his thirst for affection. He tucked single strand of her long hair to behind her ear, then stroked her smooth cheeks.
