Bab 226: The Stage of war

"That's a serious matter." Lady Yu turned to gaze out of the window. "You would gain strength to fight in the war. However, if you perish, so shall I."

"Something for you to think about." Adam said. "I'll be in the city for a couple of days. I'll visit you before I leave, and you can give me your answer then."

"Why…"

"Hmm?" Adam heard a sound of her whisper.

"Why do you believe I would even entertain that?" Lady Yu looked over to him with her sweet gaze. "We don't know each other. Those who usually do the ceremony have been very close for decades. Some even lovers…"

"I thought you were the right person for the job." Adam said. "A feeling of sort."

'A feeling?' Lady Yu touched her chin thoughtfully.

"Don't think too much about it." Adam headed to the door. "If you don't want to, just say so. I won't take it personally."

"Mm, I'll give my answer when you return." Lady Yu said.

Adam nodded and then left the attic.
