The bustling streets was insanely crowded today despite a terrible attack from an unknown creature happened last night. Everyone knew about it from the newspapers, you did too and yet here you are roaming the streets freely and unarmed. You were looking for a gift for your fiancé, the general itself, Jing Yuan. He's beyond your league but he loved you for who you are, he was willing to set his rank and family aside just for you.

You felt like you were being watched and it made you uneasy, you looked around the busy crowd. A strange man caught your eye, standing in the crowd, he was fully clothed and his face was covered by his hat. Your eyes met his, his scarlet eyes that glistened with mischief. His long hair and red highlights were out of the ordinary, he looked like he was not a local. He was just watching you, not uttering a word or moving a muscle. It was strange but you feel nostalgic, like you've seen this man somewhere, but you couldn't lay a finger on it.
