Summary
Everyone had their fair share of secrets, some more so than others.
Mydei knew this better than most. To his colleagues and to anyone else he came across daily, he was simply the solemn one. He never said anything more than what was asked of him and he never lingered long enough to befriend anyone else. No man was an island, but Mydei came close to being one.
But alone, in the solitary privacy of his own room every Thursday and Sunday night, he harbored one little secret that he would never deign to reveal to anyone else.

or, what do you do when these secrets come to light-and are found out by the person you least wanted to know?

Summary
At the celebration feast, Nilou asked Cyno if he would be happy continuing to be the General Mahamatra.
Cyno said, “It’s not about being happy. There are merely a lot of things that I must do.”
Alhaitham can’t say for certain why Cyno’s words bothered him. In a way, the sentiment is unsurprising; Cyno is, after all, dutiful to a fault. It makes sense that he puts his work over himself. Even so, Alhaitham wonders what the shape of Cyno’s happiness would be, if he allowed it to take form. If he ever allowed someone like Alhaitham to witness it.
Which he certainly never would.

Summary
Even at the alter, General Ren does not smile. His expressionless gaze is cast on their joined hands instead as if it offends him. He does not lift his gaze until they rise from a deep bow, deeper than Dan Heng has ever had to in his life and it is for a man who has slain thousands of his people.
His smile slips when their eyes meet, a clash of green and red so vivid the world comes to a standstill to this single point in time.
After six years on the battlefield, Dan Heng meets defeat in the face of his consort.
~
In the aftermath of a bloody war, the way to a lasting peace treaty comes in the form of marriage; generals of their respective armies would be offered as consorts for the heirs of their nations. In the name of peace, Dan Heng reluctantly accepts the show of goodwill but seeing an enemy as a friend is no easy task.
It quickly becomes clear that his own people would sooner seek vengeance for their losses than to accept this political power play, even at the cost of their prince's life.

Summary
Yuri opens his eyes—and stares, blankly, at the sleeping face that meets him. The sleeping face of a stranger.
Every coherent thought flies straight out of his head, just like how he flies off the bed and tumbles onto the carpeted floor, because no, no, no, this could not be happening.
