Fortress Lord's Office. Outside the window, it was dim. A few branches rested their heads on the window frame.
A dusky night wind blew, and the leaves that had endured winter shook with soft taps. They moved together with Wi Gun-hye's hair as she leaned her back against the window.

Yelu Jin stared blankly at the former Number One Under Heaven. Earlier, she had nearly lain down halfway while trying to sit on the cot in the office. It was because of Wi Gun-hye's Sword Wind.
There was no conversation. Only the sound of leaves brushing against each other. Even so, Wi Gun-hye did not look lonely.
She simply seemed at peace. It was to the point that Yelu Jin spoke first.
“…After watching your movements, I see this is the last stop. If it were me, I would feel hurt.”
As soon as she finished, the room was filled with silence. Wi Gun-hye said nothing and even treated Yelu Jin like a calamity. A demon who stirred the Heart Demon the moment she opened her mouth.
Yelu Jin continued without minding her.
