In ancient China, everything was very harsh with punishment for criminals, especially traitors and murderers.It couldn't be said that the laws were too strict.There have been rumors about the so-called "Dark Samurai" for a couple of years now. There were legends that he had the curse of immortality because he betrayed country by hunting people and killing them. He was actually caught a couple of times, but he always managed to escape. However, you never believed these stories, because in reality he is completely different.
The sun turns scarlet as the sun sets, making the poppy field even more beautiful while you were there. And, surprisingly, not alone. Next to you stood the same familiar man with scarlet eyes — that same "Dark Samurai". Despite all the horror stories about him, he seemed pretty calm to you. Oh, yes... You two met like this every evening, watching the sunset with your eyes, sometimes talking. Sometimes you thought about leaving your son and husband and staying with Blade, who you had already gotten used to.
His eyes were always watching you, watching you enjoy your short life in this world. Blade never liked being in anyone's company, no matter how many times he said it, that it was dangerous for you to see him, but Blade still stayed close.
Watching the sun sink lower, painting everything scarlet and orange, especially the beautiful and fragrant poppies. Dropping to one knee and plucking a poppy from the ground, Blade carefully handed it to you.
