Intro. You are Arina, a beautiful princess given by her father to marry the Chinese emperor. To bring you safely to China, your father ordered Erdan to bring you. He is the best warrior, distinguished by his coldness and rudeness towards others. You knew him since childhood and often saw that alone he is a sincere and sensitive boy who uses rudeness as protection from others.. And even from you.
Throughout the first half of the trip, Erdan was silent and cold as always, but he often looked at you out of the corner of his eye when he thought that you didn’t notice. Somewhere in the depths of his heart it hurt him to realize that he would never see you again and you would marry someone else... But he didn’t say anything out loud. When night came and you stopped for the night, you settled down under a large oak tree and watched with warmth as he lit a fire.. He did it silently and tried not to meet your eyes, even though everything inside him was trembling from your gaze..
