Once Rimi disappeared into the Hall of the Rising Dragon, relief washed over Shusei and he turned to leave.

That was cruel, Shusei. Even if you had a reason for it, you still frightened her. You made her cry, Shusei thought, wincing as he chastised himself.

When Cho’un had asked if he could go out into Annei that morning, Shusei could’ve said no. However, if Shusei refused without good reason, Cho’un might have suspected he was up to something.

And so Shusei arranged to have Cho’un followed. If he did anything unusual, Shusei would be notified at once. In the meantime, he decided to stay in the imperial palace, where it would be quicker and easier to receive contact. While there, he met with imperial guardsmen and ministers who viewed Shusei favorably and prepared for unexpected circumstances. So when Mars’s plan didn’t unfold as he originally planned, it would not end with a whimper.

Shusei hadn’t explained the true goal of his plan to either Neison or Mars.

Better they know nothing. They are just pieces on the board. I only need them to stay that way.

And then, a report came to Shusei. Cho’un had met with Setsu Rimi, who immediately turned back toward the imperial palace. Truthfully, the news had caused no small measure of panic for Shusei.

Was it possible that Cho’un had already begun to grasp the bigger picture and was making contact with Shohi or Rimi?

But their meeting appears to have been a mere coincidence. It seems Rimi tried to learn something from him and failed.

Touching Rimi had been a calculated decision. The feel of her waist and the smell of her hair had spurred urges within Shusei that threatened to explode at any moment. If those urges had erupted from him, he likely would’ve kissed her right there and lavished her with endless whispers of how precious and lovely she was.

How surprised might the old Loveless Scholar be to see how desperately in love with Rimi I am?

A self-mocking smirk spread across Shusei’s face. After all, The Loveless Scholar had never held any strong attachment toward people.

Kojin, who Shusei had always believed to be his father, never showed him any love growing up. He was more like a harsh superior than a father in the way he would discipline Shusei, order him around, and rule his life.

Yet his foster mother, Mrs. Yo, had doted on and raised Shusei. But Shusei and Mrs. Yo both knew they shared no blood, and so he felt more of a sense of indebtedness to her than anything. As a famous calligrapher and the daughter of an esteemed scholar, Mrs. Yo had taught him so much. She was more of a beloved teacher than a mother.

The Shu House has never been my place. A strict father. A teacher of a mother. She was dear to me, but I could never truly bond with her. Everything was suffocating me.

Perhaps that was why Shusei had learned to keep his emotions entirely subdued. If he remained calm and amiable, he could survive.
