Chapter 17: The Same Courtyard
Yeon-hwa didn't cry.
She took the jade bracelet out of the box and pushed it onto her own wrist, over the calluses, until it sat where Ye-rin's had.
Then she picked up the braid and held it.
It was still soft.
"He cut it off her," she said. "To make me hurry."
"Then we'll hurry," Mu-hyeon said.
"No. We'll be on time."
Four days later, on the morning of the Conclave, Yeon-hwa walked back through the front gate of the Alliance Hall.
Nobody stopped her.
The guards on the gate saw a woman in white with a short sword at her hip.
Beside her walked a man in red and black with his hair tied high.
They saw who the two of them were.
They stepped back and let them pass.
The stone courtyard was full.
Every righteous sect in the land had sent its elders.
There were more people here than at the banquet, five or six hundred, packed shoulder to shoulder under banners of every colour.
At the far end, the banquet hall's doors stood open, and a dais had been built on the steps in front of them.
