"Then I can rest easy!"
Hearing that, Fu Hua stopped worrying so much about it.
It had to be said, Princess Kaguya truly was a beauty who brought disaster. She reminded Fu Hua of a story she had read: after Chang'e became mortal again and came to the Human World, men fought over pancakes made with her bathwater.
Are You a Demon?
Fu Hua stood beside the pond in the courtyard. There was no scenery left to admire in the pond now, because winter had already arrived.
Only then did Fu Hua realize... without her noticing, it had already become winter. She had been in this world for more than half a year now; when she first arrived, it had still been midsummer.
Although the sun had come out for a while that morning, winter's chill still filled every corner. Even when the skies were clear and there was no wind, the cold was dry and biting.
Bare trees stood pitifully along both sides of the road. The once-vibrant grass could no longer endure and had withered yellow. Whenever a gust of north wind blew, the little trees struggled against the cold while the grass flattened itself against the ground, as if afraid of the sudden chill.
"Immortal Mother..."
Just as Fu Hua was observing the changing weather, an alluring young girl's voice sounded behind her.
Fu Hua turned toward the voice and saw Princess Kaguya walking toward her, lightly lifting her skirt with both hands. Though Princess Kaguya was only in her teens... she was at the age of blossoming youth, beautiful and captivating.
Old regrets at the tip of cardamom; ten years of dreams, startling to count on one's fingers!
