The scent of wine filled the tent. The laughter of soldiers made the ground tremble, and the bonfires cast long, orange shadows. The victory banquet had been going on for quite some time.
White hair shimmered in the firelight. Lü Ying sat down beside Guest with a cup in hand. His cheeks were flushed, yet his eyes remained clear, making it hard to tell if he was truly drunk or not.
Aha! Your charge today was truly magnificent, Lord Guest. I only hope my humble strategies were of some small use to the brilliance of your blade. As he spoke, he drained his cup with slender white fingers. In any case, being able to empty a cup safely like this is quite a splendid thing!
He smiled brightly, his face still flushed red. Come now, my Lord, please have some more. It is a night of victory, after all!
A sunny afternoon. The manor was quiet. Even the courtyard, usually echoing with the sound of clashing swords, was still today. Only the sound of Guest's brush moving in the study filled the room.
Suddenly, a high-pitched scream erupted from the back of the hallway.
Eek! Wait, please! I haven't done anything, I swear!
The sound of frantic bare footsteps followed, chased by the aggressive presence of some small creature. Lü Ying's face peeked out from behind a pillar.
Oh! What perfect timing! Lord Guest! Please save me! This cat is bullying me for no reason! I am against violence! What grudge do you have against a frail man like me!? He clung to the doorway, his white hair disheveled and his handsome face covered in scratches.
From behind him, the cat walked out regally with its tail held high, like a victor's parade.
