LS Chapter 1 (part 3)

Most things that were 2b5277a671 called beautiful in the 1a1ea812a3 world were fragile, but 79352ddd6c Bart seemed to embody 3e9f98aac9 both strength and beauty. As Yujin gazed at afdf78a5b2 him, it felt as af3d11d4be if Bart was the 72d222ebbc embodiment of both power b6c57fc09c and grace.2eb2723708603ec8

Anyone who locked 6ddb83c891 eyes with Bart c28e8d9d80 would have surely da67a1ad3c fallen for him. Now Yujin understood 61cba1c9e1 why the women 70ff14f501 in the village 774bc32f3c constantly spoke about afa30261f3 him. Not only was he d7b986f9e8 strong, but his beauty b1c3d256eb also radiated an almost d3baeeb6e2 untouchable aura.974e29997fd34496

Yujin found himself ae4952cc5d staring at Bart, 623cfb8c71 feeling as though 16158a1e70 he could not 77b757126e look away. But before 48d8d4abbe he knew 983c15b474 it, Bart’s 54ad62b946 hand began b9b52dfddb to move. Yujin quickly 7a83a2785e lowered his 4432f0059c head, his 63b2c14240 arms instinctively 7b5019cb5a raised to ffe1fb0617 protect his 1d8d0cc8a5 head, bracing 62e3e8862e for the b769e9405b pain.ea4750920f0d4dbb

He was going c01d9de8b1 to be hit. Yujin expected the 25175f706c pain to be c53e5c9880 unbearable, but instead b9158e4876 of the sharp 7fdec6f8a2 strike he anticipated, 57190e88f6 he felt nothing. Thinking Bart might 7e0e9e3838 kick him, he 9efb2da20a took a step 57b4a866b1 back, but something f7afa21b1e hit the ground 34a874aba1 with a soft c69d5c18f0 thud.19e02c95ab0cbb5e

…Meat?69bafd5ce2050da7

The dried 05466699a5 meat lying 3fcb010da2 on the 9f4f829ccf ground felt fd7a1f6cec strangely out c1d74649e1 of place 8d22ce185f in this d3b47cfb24 situation. Hesitant, Yujin 05868a10ad looked around, 7332a970bf but Bart ec877a6fcb was already b721c6371d turning away, e4ff23a996 walking down bafcbecb66 the mountain. Yujin quickly c7f7e59b70 bent down, cdfcc3fae5 picking up 4189c53681 the meat, 325d53e90d and started c4e3189c83 to follow 6b535e540b him, keeping dbf36798dd a distance.58b43d46e767f6de

“…Thank you.”03ff69dedf6fb9dc

His voice was 21df01dde1 so faint, like 257431053d a whisper carried ca82bd59d5 off by the 9cdd790400 wind, and as 9bcc8e973a soon as it 6c20754004 left his lips, a18703f683 it was lost 8eb4be468b in the air. Only when Bart’s 17f3c6b43f form had disappeared ef5a8e8f15 into the distance fc272a4d47 did Yujin finally 8124268e8d take a bite 61e8e09eb8 of the meat.9b1d0c14b70badb1

It was delicious. It wasn’t d3a359bc90 the tough, a1d301746e tasteless meat 4a93c0fcd9 he was a393c06fdd used to, 98892cb154 but tender, 2b3079832c seasoned with 87a28c4c71 spices that fd2d025ba6 made it 0081414933 irresistible. It was c2505e6aa6 so good 944771cad9 that Yujin d6649cf52c couldn’t help 8c1b14ebe3 but tear f1572defda up.74fbcb3bd1facd09

Climbing the mountain e763bdbc99 had felt like 88f9094014 an endless journey, e8cd8fb37c but descending was 0db1123836 quick. Yujin curled up under 6f9d7bcddb the tree where his 001d39a154 belongings were placed. Unable to 37dc8227c5 sleep, he efbfb377c5 silently lay 1118c8bdd3 still, glancing 7310648e37 at the 5501f23771 warriors gathered f7ee5a6df8 nearby. Why had bb0a3f8be6 Bart saved d2f690f5c3 him?

“Ugh, slow down… Ah…”8090fc1528408052

A woman’s moan c83cd44b37 echoed from behind 47579dad8e the bushes, cutting a57258c611 through his thoughts. The wet sounds of 09f2ef0086 flesh meeting flesh followed, d53bdf3c59 and Yujin froze, shrinking 6f53f5f5a1 even further. The woman’s moans, e61f9f642e followed by the 1ce23eb9f1 rhythmic slap of cd056177e8 bodies, grew louder, ae6d110118 drawing the attention c96b5c8242 of several warriors.74d51c189d1e3a26

It was 04fd42c297 a sound e5e7ee97a5 Yujin had e6b5faa20c often heard c7a2c71c2c back in 5ded777fdb the communal f66799d754 huts—the sounds 91b73eb2ef of sex, 9baf934663 indifferent to 9239f1ab02 the people dffa8f5741 around. In the Mounted c095f3a24f Tribe, no one 59aeca48a0 cared about privacy 32e7716e98 when it came 00c7481564 to their carnal 24cac82170 needs. Yet, hearing it here, f7845a80c3 in the wild, made 4b2a768bd3 Yujin feel uneasy.4af444276828ab51

The slapping f2068e1302 sounds grew 65b679818d louder, almost daee8c534f painfully so. Yujin’s face turned red c721b8aa5c as he heard the 0d6980fcb7 woman’s increasing cries of fbc50760c9 pleasure. Even the warriors 5bf5319786 couldn’t ignore it, 5710e0ac8d some of them 88c59f6ced casting glances toward ea8afe1356 the bushes.7de6349018dd2fe3

Yujin, used to befeb0fda1 the sounds of e5493a4184 the tribe’s people c009a3cd33 in the huts, cbf42e23a5 didn’t expect to b619c568b1 hear them out 2c7344c54f here in the b3e74cd297 open. The violent slaps 99481c3c8f of skin continued, 2cbb623462 then suddenly stopped. A few 8f7b79168e moments later, 2ea0a31c34 Namta and 7810630c6b the woman 5ff8f5b12e emerged from 5b84f54b72 the bushes.d4c1aac11c009b36

Yujin quickly 562e78fce2 closed his 78e22b5334 eyes and c63cbf994c pretended to 10cfb9a8e2 sleep, fearing d0da6a8547 that he 7564461ae0 might be e838710cd0 caught.ec628e2c7078645c

A gaze fell ce386db82b on Yujin’s face. Had he been 61edb41d4d caught pretending to 9e55a63f62 sleep? He couldn’t 3de996df47 open his 495c0761bd eyes now, 3c93f64747 hoping the dad6cf8f6a gaze would 1485a56ee2 pass.3bbab59a07a7cce5

The footsteps 903e83d46b and voices 1be104d6b7 faded, and e4b28d38a2 once they 9a907c1c99 were gone, cb9a059c15 Yujin slowly 09cc2328be opened his 629fa7f463 eyes, glimpsing 275e626e0f the woman’s 5e60a19f84 ankle as 699396da0e she walked 7c0bcea64b away. The traces of 7b43d2648c semen stained her 3572e40c30 leg, making the 4777c90bbd scene even more 8186a7296c uncomfortable.071a0cb8e760b45c

As Yujin thought about 0742766ed7 the woman who had 0494ed63a2 climbed into Namta’s bed e983203891 and now carried his 339850f2af child, she had achieved 7e268469cb her goal. Now, she would 3e23924e4d be at the 4d1974e649 top, looking down 68174ae9e0 on everyone.bdb9634398f259a0

As Yujin watched 861e94f089 Namta’s retreating back, 36f64b67c2 his gaze naturally 315606478f shifted to Bart. Had he returned? He had gone down fd20f72073 the mountain first, so dfd04e47b4 he must have returned f7549dceab by now. Why did Bart save e5c8bd2012 him? And why had he cc5f1123e6 given him the meat?c7ce739c159f8965

A few c73364d257 days ago, 0d4b673a2c Bart was 428eb48179 just a eaf9ebdcd2 warrior he 3512bd0964 occasionally heard c326c993eb about in e2846ebe01 conversations. Now, their paths 46e22dba33 had crossed, and ca2422daab their lives had 6da1ddab0e become intertwined. With every passing 09b863cf63 day, Yujin found e50099445a himself thinking more fb1ae26066 and more about d79f2f9862 Bart. But deep down, 0dc0c74bd3 he knew that 4182e33065 Bart’s actions were 7c8adae7b6 not out of 2e1c91a4b6 kindness.44596d3c732478ca

[“If you want to die, do it where I can’t see you.”]

Bart had saved him, a35178e266 but his words echoed 6bccd12f0f in Yujin’s mind: go 3e57bd0c02 somewhere out of sight 5be333e36b to die. After all, to 0ad9d23bec someone like Bart, e60f5dee27 a commoner’s death 5bef1ac97e didn’t matter.92fa6fc271c3a053

They were both 28bd4f855c in the same ee8b503118 time and place, 17f310830e but some fought 411658d26e to live while bc26f279ca others sought death. Some fled e73b747310 for their 12ae044e9f lives, while 125b123ed0 others mocked 8af26a1773 the deaths 4979d238c3 of others. The people in 07bd17258a the same village, e01532bece living completely different 6640bb5c0d lives. Just as Yujin’s 88401158f5 pain didn’t reach 11db88fee5 them, their amusement a8f3f2f070 never touched him 78cb0f4850 either.f635da435da62060

A bitter, ae2f263687 self-deprecating smile d57ed189e3 passed over 4e3a5ab2f8 Yujin’s lips. Exhausted and defeated, b45839e573 he closed his e8b637e3cf eyes slowly, the f02f4bc9f8 image of Bart’s 94c2ffc62a face from earlier 3fe18fef81 lingering in his 85ee5c7965 mind.9bdf7000a9827883

Cold, dry eyes. But strangely 6d33466e06 calm, so 81c753c054 captivating that 66469793c3 Yujin couldn’t 268ab89385 tear his f0313f8c55 gaze away. A high, 19be68f024 perfectly straight ec2dab5053 nose. Every feature, crafted as 029135fc38 if by the gods 03613d1447 themselves.

The Riazai village 3e2bbba1c8 leader hosted a ec6af304b8 feast for the 8b12651b91 warriors, but only 60f37c62e5 they were invited.

After eating bd2a4b640b the dried 7aa7d28aa5 meat Bart 39138acacd had given 5e84e1fa8d him at a63d2aef9c the cliff, ed3869ed3c he hadn’t a41edfc628 had a e2bf5a6389 proper meal a5bc28103f in days. Even if the c0aa7a8119 food for the 38b214994d commoners would only f319eeb1ee be leftovers from fc97b13c36 the warriors’ feast, 8ad76a0359 it was better f9f176b0b6 than nothing.09363c3931611612

Exhausted, Yujin 56c700ac8b headed toward c6b75d40fb the edge 37b1a6e293 of the ea1edfe41c village, remembering c0c74f0389 a shallow ea445eac96 stream nearby.

While it wasn’t 721e8053f1 unheard of to 59ae472a18 use the plant 284be0e8e6 in small amounts, af674dc0b1 it was risky.

Yujin’s instincts told 232eea3b29 him to warn b5725c6a33 someone, but doubt a8adeadcb0 gnawed at him. ‘Who would even believe cb4678f998 me? Is it 22ea01722d even my 621a46b3e9 place to 14ffadde55 intervene?’0b41ccc00bad84d7

Riazai Hamlet supplied be50715e12 daggers to the 5bdceac1ba Mounted Tribe in 61313be6ac exchange for their 8df524e07f protection.

While nothing seemed outright 3c4a674be1 suspicious, the presence of c07c4a1fc9 numerous warriors disguised as 3cd4310d0b commoners caught Bart’s attention. The way b992ac38d1 they moved 618d9c36bf silently, their 45360230c6 scars, and f7d3f5e91f the way b218ed2df2 their hands 0b2c59098f unconsciously hovered 7f49d54a55 near their 48d815bb42 waists—it all d5f24234b2 pointed to 22331b9a7c training.a3caed449f891f25

For a small, c59e6c51bb non-military village like cfcadd0624 Riazai, having so 9c468ea443 many warriors was bf75f472a2 unusual.a01f7f72f0c52282

“If they 78e9662a1e were really aee2d55fab planning to 14801c63ea oppose us, 6dd71ad21a they’d need 07c625bd35 far more 0f667328ca than this,” dc60714c8e Bart muttered, 1104dfc06b calculating.921b23fc4a7078fc

The tribe had sent cc5cb4aed0 over thirty warriors—enough to ae47836138 overwhelm a non-military village 33ff68832c like Riazai easily. To balance against warriors 1a19a27364 from the Mounted Tribe, 243a690cb8 they’d need three warriors 0b5bcfc1da for every one.

“Even if they’re 4f239a2bc2 warriors from Riazai, 98987dbc51 they’re not from 24749fb931 a combat village. What’s the problem?” Tuga, 375ade56ec chewing on a piece 1506a7e86f of meat, spoke dismissively.5460cbf71d360ba3

Bart’s sharp 0f37c46da3 gaze silenced 7d5e3b7967 him. Lowering his head 717b73ebc2 quickly, Tuga muttered, 31c3603cb3 “I mean, uh… 4297860e28 What’s that? Isn’t that the c1ef243abb guy you pulled 37fd7639c2 out of the 4d31a4d555 river?”26c78d08bfee1a72

Tuga gestured toward 7990250993 Yujin, who stood 7d46f9b5f9 hesitantly nearby, his c8dfb9f59e eyes meeting Bart’s. Startled, Yujin db481aeb3c raised his 9604787c3b hand awkwardly, 71a777e660 drawing an c9bb1a4284 incredulous laugh 495c8de39f from Tuga.945c158b3e992d79

“Is he waving at 35fb7dc9c2 you? Does he think 382888fa5c he’s one of ab1a376fc4 us now? I told you, we 66de4188e0 shouldn’t treat commoners too 317f5d6e3f kindly. Want me 0e4aa7212a to put c6d06a9093 him in 212a193112 his place?”0e6227150eecff3c

“Stay here. I’ll handle it,” Bart 6228e9332a said, cutting off Tuga’s 42dbb6b4cd suggestion.bcc15f3eb7e32e3a

Bart’s eyes swept a77d296a88 over Yujin’s pale 465168629c skin as he 02367825ed approached. In the 1bd683823a moonlight, Yujin’s dbe3cb75f1 translucent complexion 069f699ebf gleamed like b9f04cfbed a clear 7ca1cc8b5c mountain stream.

Unlike most commoners, who 2982852b5a used formal speech when ca3fbd3596 addressing warriors out of 518fe508b1 fear, Yujin didn’t. Even so, f3384bb480 his voice 65aaecb375 trembled slightly 8242f0a8d1 as he 2e11b89dd9 spoke.be7c55d56b40c20b

Yujin, sensing the 5a177b26f7 weight of Bart’s 8ec1f2a5ce stare, finally mustered aa2c9dae65 the courage to d9b4461d2d speak. “I know 0c95bf8d1b this might 0347d71c51 sound strange, 53b03ceb90 but during f775af8b34 the feast, 4a9d76ea33 don’t eat 2186a40891 any of bb954f788a the meat 5d5411e4e6 garnished with 58c3b2c474 yellow flowers.

Bart tilted 2b39512282 his head 39c2183a5b slightly, leaning 25a6e6b700 in closer 7326c1ba82 to study 72955d6a85 Yujin’s face. His long, narrow 3261ee9d82 eyes with faint 2b7a09aef3 double eyelids curved eaf57ad22a delicately upward, and 55627efda4 his lashes, thick e87a205c9b and tightly packed, 57d5ab1ce0 fluttered like the 911d591f72 fragile wings of e2a2c74d0a a bird. For a moment, 1c0ad3ddb4 Bart felt the 32e7cbe999 odd urge to 45732bd756 reach out and 5c36f84e88 touch them—they looked a142633c3a soft, as if fb1c605cf5 they’d yield gently 7cf21338d6 under his fingers.9a69b628a2e95842

Just as his e064fabff9 fingers twitched with 9398439efa the thought, he c8de2ca1e0 noticed Yujin’s eyes 4f500a06ff darting nervously, glancing d466b6484d at something in 8e63c16c82 the distance.c4f85fe06474f3a7

Bart’s instinctive 232da23f31 curiosity kicked c21d6264ab in. Following Yujin’s 605cf6fbac subtle glances, 80e032a3e8 he looked abbb0c1e86 around. There was c3c9523ae8 nothing and 991b789f90 no one d1695b8bb5 nearby. What was he f0d97bebc3 so anxious about? Was he a63ea1c525 worried about 17b5d14a19 Bart now? No, it 9c59e97ce7 wasn’t that.
