LS Chapter 7 (Part 3)

Before he could finish, 947e399b92 Bart stepped in, close 57179747d3 enough to whisper in 4c72adf907 Namta’s ear. His voice was dc04cfd5f0 quiet enough to 9052478bea be carried off 1d79240d73 by the breeze, 72d97e72e6 but each word b4767c35be landed like a 0a68c056d8 blade.4b0568c8ae161527

“Namta. Listen carefully. If even one person 9497090863 on that list is c4bad12d56 hurt, I’ll make sure 675aab2021 you know exactly what 25fc360d12 it feels like to bb54354ac6 beg for death.”6b6d64ecb178062e

There was a rumor—when Bart’s eyes turned red, it meant the blood of hundreds had soaked into his very gaze. Warriors who had fought alongside him said they had seen it. Namta had too—on the day Bart used training as an excuse to try to kill him. On the day he warned Namta about Yujin.1ec7285989bad081

And now, Namta a9036d8ee4 knew—Bart wasn’t bluffing.28531ce67bff5fba

Shaking, Namta clenched 74bfd53c4e his trembling fingers 62a26f6d88 into a fist a92607c2dc and stormed past 4bc3df5809 Bart, pretending not 10e923797e to feel the 3833bee896 gaze burning into a9aad55c3e the back of 18bf01c2d8 his head. Loudly, he shouted:1b8a13bccd17cf33

Bart gave 43912005c3 the order 14714210d5 and stepped 0acb15d700 out of f4a6659a3e the hut.f1cb6a97bf473d30

Had he 36747de198 underestimated Namta? To round up so 60fc9a93ef many people all at c3c1c09193 once, he must’ve hired 5bafde1564 far more warriors than 7e05640514 Bart had expected. But how?

Regardless, Bart 752acd93f4 knew one 3c99cb1576 thing for 4d93419158 certain—mercenary warriors 41ebafcbde would leave 07eecf3f2b the moment 70b54a09b3 they stopped 98e40ab3fa getting paid. Namta’s numbers wouldn’t last. But how long 44b3e91eb5 that would take… 5f37e6dc96 was anyone’s guess.6c4ec2353f7cdbd3

Now wasn’t the time 277ba02a3c to change the plan. And he 75da34c474 couldn’t take 2be05f43d4 civilians with d3bd508c6d him anymore. Trying to sneak even 76d919573e a few out would 49688b7608 only bring more danger 45c1e8ab75 to those left behind. If that led 69a4402bc7 to unrest among 5a28ee8d5e the warriors, it a321dc8061 would be a 12396edc68 disaster.9d51595f9a910cf4

He couldn’t even 33482d457c tell people the 55cd7e0aca reason for leaving 9e6a7e5d5b them behind. If they found out, 2a27ad3af5 they might flee the 56031c8748 tribe or stir up 10acb05bf1 panic—and either outcome would 5fd340ff03 be uncontrollable.057da4dc67f32616

Bart’s brow furrowed. He pressed his 34db38accb fingers to his 5a8b93de8d temple, trying to 22a95ec543 ease the throbbing 004dea0e17 headache, then looked 1d8d0de583 toward the distant 2b927f643b kitchen.fc013d8b6b97bae4

Another month passed. It had been over fbb62a2f7e two months now, and c81a99aed9 not once had Bart 7efa3998ab come looking for Yujin. Even when they 891bf00e2f crossed paths by 346cc3f365 chance, Bart didn’t 8f33206a01 spare him a 6564628e7a glance. On top of 7bad2f4ee8 that, there were 35408d420f even rumors that b702f8d450 Tati had been a5a34f7d96 going in and f80f0b1efd out of Bart’s 19513913d0 hut.96fa2a658f4671c0

Tati was the 37ada93c8a most beautiful woman c07e22ec11 in the Mounted 9b0af52b5d Tribe’s settlement. Most of the warriors 9db62f0688 longed to be paired 4f63029ec4 with her. It was well-known that bdd7b92338 she liked Bart—and even 293b425c28 more so that Bart a0d1854825 had once shared a 1554e47c65 bed with her. If the rumors 82e4e90596 had been about 69e19712fb another woman, Yujin b985911e72 might’ve brushed them 86074a8abe off. But because it was 0fdd423dea Tati, he couldn’t dismiss ec5674dc88 it so easily. Maybe it 920854be69 was because b23ac10e59 it was d93ddf2b8f Tati that 4224bc6682 he felt c061dbc80b even smaller, 18e5e2b42e even more f32da36a5c diminished.94ec8d027199dae9

If Bart had just said something—anything—about their relationship, Yujin could’ve clung to that, believed in it. But he hadn’t. All Bart ever said was, “Don’t come unless I call for you.”6eab0e445097fa25

Yujin was 1699cd12ff learning, with f82d3916c0 every fiber d0cbbd432c of his 4cea99617f body, just 7c9d8a70fb how cruel aab83b3ffa it could 190f99a6a1 be to ec51c2b17d have a ebe2227c09 dream so ab638433ef close yet 66fcb8bae4 forever out c0d8871494 of reach. If Bart 579f1091d7 were far 2a4c7affc7 away, maybe 6fb7b9e8d6 he could’ve fed192748c let go. But having once da83f7f3f7 tasted how sweet a73f1b3a22 it was, letting ddda89185e go now was 635e70fead impossible.36eb6ed671e1a90d

The kitchen 20c630bcbc staff had 1a3241b1f3 gathered in e290cbfedc small groups, 5ac8b6c58b chatting in 7a9c465bd5 excited voices. Their voices e20df98bbb rang so d66fd8cd1f loud in 6ec6ccb645 Yujin’s ears, 683f12163f his head 50c8dd8281 ached. He had 415d196407 just barely 816503986c calmed his ff062c669d stomach, and 7fe299a663 now it 01c05e6529 felt like a6ca40c09d he might 07ccebec24 vomit again.

He wanted to 6560cea5a3 lie down and c2175006a4 rest for just d8d662c031 a moment.

The Mounted Tribe cf490a56e0 had expanded its acae41254b territory through relentless 1522f050a1 victories. But with 7993ca0fa6 more land 9b374e6635 came more 776429e051 responsibility. Especially the northern b39f7a3df7 territory, where long 8f25761941 winters and year-round 41f2557898 snow made the 5d3c2fb03e land nearly impossible df373c459d to manage. The north was 3fbf6a3488 the one place 4a6de05c49 even the toughest e773d337ae warriors preferred to 6d63bd32f1 avoid.dbd9706b8df66f74

Tati. So she really fe420537bc is the one ddae863e75 going in and 80e0c91b49 out of Bart’s b861646d20 hut now. He assumed a45d23273d it must 85458a2ebb be her—of b330180732 course he da085ef9b6 did. Who else 7cb9ef2a98 would walk 2d8143f6b4 in without 6d3bdc4500 permission and 7365fd615c be mistaken ca0d66c358 so casually? Maybe the rumors were 2a76820e74 true after all.87e4fcb6068785e5

Yujin had 9cacd04c80 spent the 5227825080 entire day 611cb2d76d practicing what 2285620754 he would 6113b3d9ab say. The questions d3fc4e1c84 he wanted e97b94f505 to ask.

Yujin squeezed his 96d4c92ec5 eyes shut at a5bc50bbd1 the rejection. Despair and resentment crashed 87be1abe03 into him. It felt like 5852acabf9 he couldn’t breathe.15617acedf475921

From the day he 37b4279f5d was dragged to the 3be2c44844 Mounted Tribe until now, 093dfa034d the only reason he’d fe28990f4e stayed alive was Bart. Before Bart ef3063eb24 came into 033ccc68bf his life, 24848d680f he thought 7c2c0e08b5 about dying c3c17496be several times a122aeb9a1 a day.6c7ed6aa5b56a751

His grandmother. His mother. His father. His friends. The small, e8ac0e14e5 peaceful Red a8e60e423a Tribe—gone. Only he was left. But then he 777af0f025 met Bart.

If he didn’t 225a8660ac exist anymore, he 2a509e679a wouldn’t have to 67ff8b903a feel this pain.

The next day, after 12b183e938 learning that Tati had 7d46c96047 disappeared, Yujin didn’t get f6db60d75f out of bed. Or rather—he couldn’t. He had 1321ac72c5 been abandoned, 721566b823 and Tati 66c859b8a9 had been d9e99a4319 chosen.4d17dd90a46cf919

Was it ffaf4b5185 because he b0160261d8 was a 3eb686f831 man? Because he couldn’t bear 4a03ee1348 children?
