Chapter Two

On reaching the room in the glamorous manor where we were to stay the night, the female soldiers serving under the White Wolf, Rus, bowed to their mistress. All of them wore simple metal armor that had been painted purest white.

“Lady Rus, we’ll be right outside.”

“Please call us if you require any assistance!”

“We hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.”

My kidnapper, the White Wolf, was sitting on a bench in her nightgown. She had already had her bath and was busy brushing her long purple hair, but she paused and said, “Thank you. Be sure to all rest in shifts.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Judging from their disciplined movements and beautiful armor, I—Chou Hakurei—guessed these women were members of the White Lancers, an elite unit in the Gen army. The trio left the room, with the last one shooting me a sharp look before closing the door. At no point had any of them let their guard down around me.

I gripped the sleeves of my lavender nightgown, which was the same type as the one Rus was wearing. Thanks to the White Wolf knocking me out when she abducted me, I had no idea how many days had passed since I’d fallen into enemy hands. Whenever they moved me about, they made sure to blindfold me, so I couldn’t even tell what city we were in, either. The soldiers were forever on the lookout too, and I knew escape would be impossible tonight as well. Not wanting her to see my worry and anxiety, I glared at Rus, who continued to elegantly brush her hair.

A humid wind blew in through the window, disturbing the curtains and bringing with it the aroma of incense. It hadn’t rained, so I guessed we must be close to a river or waterway. Perhaps we were even close to the White Wraith’s base by this point, as I had heard that he was advancing on Rinkei.

Rus paused in her grooming and picked up a porcelain cup full of steaming tea from the side table. “Don’t glare at me like that, Lady Chou Hakurei. I’m just a powerless maiden. You’re frightening me.”

“I’m in no mood for jokes!” I snapped furiously.

Averting my gaze, I looked over at the window, but with the white curtain in the way, I couldn’t see the moon outside. They had intentionally covered the window so that I couldn’t get any information about my surroundings. Rus placed a second porcelain cup in front of me, drawing my attention back to her.

“Are you wondering where we are?” Rus asked, slowly pouring me a cup of jade-green tea. “Or are you worrying about your fate?”

I held my tongue. On the way here, no one had hurt me or humiliated me. Instead, they had given me food, clothes, and a place to sleep. They had even allowed me to bathe, albeit under supervision.

I had asked Rus why they were treating me so well, and she had replied, “You’re a princess with silver hair and blue eyes. These are cursed traits that only appeared after a star fell from the sky in ancient times.
