Malka

Hao Xuan wanted to answer for her so they could quickly leave but he realized that he didn't know either. Fortunately, this was the exact moment Lady Yuki was waiting for.

She stepped out from behind to properly introduce herself with a formal bow.

"I am called Yui, my lord"

"Yui?" Vlitgar frowned while scratching his beard thoughtfully, "That is quite a unique name and yet, I have met another with it," he muttered while walking over to the mirror trying to recall it.

"Yes, a long time ago I was sent to meet a woman with a peculiar talent. She had a daughter with that name."

He looked at her reflection in the mirror, "But I was assured her bloodline perished not long after my departure. A shame, truly, but it was her choice. I warned her what would happen if she didn't accept our terms so the blame lies solely on her."

Hao Xuan noticed Lady Yuki's balled-up fist and swiftly intervened before she could follow up with a response that might get both of them in trouble.
