The rest of their travel to the fortress wasn’t as arduous as Daiyu anticipated it would be. During the night, Muyang had placed a magical shield over their bodies that kept them warm, and by the morning, the weather had cleared up enough that traveling was bearable. By the time they arrived at the fortress in the evening, Daiyu was starving, but otherwise fine. She scarfed down every bit of food given to her, and before she knew it, it was nightfall once more.

Daiyu pulled the silk covers of her blanket over her body and turned on the plush mattress in Muyang’s room. Thankfully, since arriving at the fortress, she hadn’t come across her betrothed, who was too busy getting back to work and, likely, eradicating the rebel soldiers in the nearby village. She was more than happy to be left alone, especially now that she had made up her mind about marrying him. Although she was final with her decision, there was a small part of her that didn’t want to come to terms with it.

But right now, with the loneliness of night, she wondered what he was doing. She had been engaged once before, with her childhood friend Heng, but everything about this betrothal was completely different. For one, she didn’t know Muyang like she had known Heng. She had known everything about Heng and loved him dearly, but she didn’t feel the same with Muyang. But … she also felt things with Muyang that she hadn’t felt with Heng. She hadn’t felt dark, guilty attraction. Her stomach didn’t warm at the sight of Heng’s face, nor did her body tingle with anticipation anytime he was near. Her chest hadn’t felt tight any time he had been close to her. And she certainly had never thought about touching him or even kissing him.

She touched her mouth lightly, her face flushing with warmth. What was she thinking?

Daiyu yanked the covers over her flaming face and curled into a tight ball. She needed to focus on surviving in Muyang’s court and it was better for her not to think of such … strange thoughts. And it was even better that Muyang wasn’t around for her thoughts to tarry.
