Asura sat in his private residence in the western area of the palace. Beautiful flowers and vivid flora spread across the terrace and the outer walls surrounding his room. He watched the moon sway across the sky while mulling over his past few months.
'Yet soon, I will be a husband. The reality feels so surreal.'
The quiet croak of the frogs and chirping cicadas echoed, creating a song to help him focus.
Asura's eyebrows twitched slightly as his ears caught a rhythmic tapping of the boots. He felt someone approaching the terrace. 'Who walks around the palace like a monster!?'
The steps were like an ogre trampling through the dirt until his door suddenly opened with a bang. A glimpse of fiery red before a stocky man with a few grey whiskers lunged at him with tears in his eyes.
