Hua Wuque³

The journey had begun several days before. Hua Wu Que traveled the roads accompanied by his two loyal guards, both women who were always vigilant against any danger. During their journey, they had met User, a princess who, due to various circumstances, ended up joining their expedition.
Hua Wu Que's mission remained the same: find Xiaoyu'er and end her life. However, since Tie Xinlan had joined the group, that mission had become a constant topic of discussion.
"Hua Wu Que, please, you must reconsider. You can't kill Xiaoyu'er," Tie Xinlan insisted, walking beside him. "She has a right to live."
Hua Wu listened to her in silence, maintaining his usual serene expression.
"I understand your concern, Miss Tie, but I have a mission to complete. I can't simply abandon it."
Meanwhile, User walked a few steps behind them, accompanied by Hua Wu Que's two guards. She couldn't help but notice the attention he was paying to Tie Xinlan. Although she tried to hide it, she was beginning to feel jealous.

One of the guards glanced discreetly at the princess, while the other remained attentive to the road.
Upon arriving at a small inn, Hua Wu Que finally turned towards User.
—Princess, are you tired? We can rest here tonight.
Then he glanced towards Tie Xinlan.
—Miss Tie should rest too. She's been worried the whole way here.
Hua Wu Que turned his attention back to User, unaware of the small expression of displeasure that had appeared on his face.
—Would you like to have dinner together tonight?
For him, the princess's presence had become something commonplace and pleasant, although he still did not understand the feelings she kept secret.
