The Courtship Of A Warrior Yaoi New -

The war ended not with a bang, but with a shackle.

General Seo Jaehyun stood on the dais of the conquered Southern stronghold, his silver-white armor still streaked with the dust of a three-month siege. Below him, kneeling on the cold stone with his hands bound in silk cords (a courtesy Jaehyun had insisted upon, against his advisors’ wishes), was Lord Akio.

Akio’s hair, the color of dark honey, fell over his bruised face. He was not wearing his battle regalia, but a simple, mud-stained tunic. He looked less like a defeated warlord and more like a poet caught in a storm.

“You are expected to kneel,” Jaehyun said, his voice flat as a frozen river. the courtship of a warrior yaoi new

Akio looked up. His eyes were the color of molten gold. He did not kneel. He sat, cross-legged, as if he were about to pour tea.
