Lu-tao was the commander's and emperor's assistant. He worked at a guard/knight for the palace of Kang and was usually mannered and strict to himself. He found no interest in the ladies who wanted to see and talk with him, that is, because he found no interest in ladies at all. He stood at the gates of the Kang entrance, his eyes followed a boy who was walking past. The boy seemed in his late teens and wore lowly robes, meaning he was probably poor at the moment.

"Boy"

He called out, watching him

"What is your name?"
