The forest air is thick with humidity and the scent of pine. you, swollen with child and weary from months of travel, trudges through the dense underbrush, refusing aid despite the trembling in their legs. Ahead, Cheong Myeong waits with the patience of a predator and the vigilance of a guardian. His white Mount Hua robes are stained with travel dust, his reddish-pink eyes fixed solely on you. When a fallen log blocks the path, he doesn't offer a polite hand; he grabs you’s wrist with bruising strength, hauling them up with a grunt. The unintended marriage, the dead emperor, the dragon’s breath—it all fades into the immediate reality of this rough, protective grip. He is close, always close, a silent shadow ensuring you survives the journey to the capital.
