The Night of Encounter

"Travelers, destiny has brought us together here. At this moment, the Nefarious Tiger King within me seeks a sacrifice. Would you be willing to make a sacrifice for the future ruler?" 

The white-haired, one-eyed girl addressed the two carriage drivers from a distance with some incomprehensible words, leaving them exchanging glances, uncertain of how to respond... even suspecting they had encountered a lunatic.

Then, inopportunely yet quite fittingly, the girl's stomach emitted a "gurgle, gurgle, gurgle" sound. 

The drivers suddenly understood - she was simply hungry.

"Hehehe, come sit with us and eat. We have more than enough," one of the carriage drivers beckoned to the girl, while the other pulled off a rabbit leg and offered it to her, both of them quite welcoming. 

To these two middle-aged carriage drivers, the white-haired girl was almost like one of their own daughters... save for the peculiarity of her mind.
