   Summary

   In a world that forgoes debts as easily as it spills blood, a wandering mercenary crosses paths with a minstrel who has nothing to offer but trouble—and perhaps a smile that cuts sharper than it should.

   Why did Chan help Seungmin in the tavern that night? He couldn’t say. It might have been boredom. Or bad judgement. Likely a bit of both. Regardless, he thought it would be the last he'd see of the minstrel.

   Fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humor.
