Matters Of The Throne

"Hold on..." The rustling of falling clothes magnifies under the silence of the night. Lying in the midst of torn corpses and bloody soil the couple entwines under the moon. Protected only by the clothes spread out beneath her the young woman shivers. Feeling the touch of his slippery tongue running across the curve of her back. "Wait." She murmurs... "I can't." The man answers as callused hands slip into the fabrics of her dress. It's not that, she tries but unable to express. "They're... watching..." The man laughs instead, "is this another way for you to reject me?" No. That's not it the young woman thought as she listens to the voices overhead. "Hey! Move over, I can't see!" "See?! What are you watching!? Roll to the side, she's my representative!" "Shut up! I can't hear the sounds!!" "Calm down everyone." Tears gather at the corner of her eyes as the young lady listen to the conversation above. Biting on her lips she really wanted to shout to the sky, "you shameless deities!! Stop watching!!!"

Chapter 48: The Tower Is Merciful

"… …"

The air stilled into an awkward silence with the introduction of these shocking words. 

As a person who couldn't understand the sense of despair coming from the emotionlessness of the old man. Xin Yue was unable to bring herself to comment on the heaviness of those words. Perhaps what he wished for is correct, perhaps not. Either way, it has nothing to do with her, who is also in the midst of a struggling survival.

"The zodiacs." The young lady reminded, impatient for him to breach upon the main topic of her inquiries.

"Ah, yes." Retrieving his thoughts back from the dwell of distant past, the blind diviner paused for a moment to recall what he heard long ago.

"There is so much to remember, Master. Can I ask what led you to ask about horoscopes in particular?" Placing a finger to the bottom of his chin, the old man tilted his head to ask in wonder.
