The Art of Mercy - Chapter 4: Resentment of the Wretched - Episode 4

Luhua wakes up in the middle of the night with Renfa sleeping next to him. He is reminded of Renfa's resemblance to his sister and swears to win the war against Erdeni once and for all.



Luhua wakes in the middle of the night, the sky outside a pale gray.
Feeling a warm presence beside him, Luhua props himself up on one arm and turns his body slightly.
Luhua: Renfa...
Renfa is curled up next to him, fast asleep.
Her sleeping face looks so innocent that Luhua's own expression relaxes as he watches her.
An image of his sister comes to mind, just as he remembers her from before she was taken away from him.
Luhua: You really do resemble her...
Like him, Renfa had been born into a poor family in Sui.
Her family lived a modest life on the money her older sister earned as a soldier.
However, one day, she was forcibly adopted by an affluent family in Sui as their daughter.
Her new family used her as a pawn to climb up the social ladder by promising her to a top official in the country. The two were soon engaged.
That was when Luhua first met Renfa.
Hearing of the cruel circumstances under which she was living, Luhua saw a resemblance between Renfa and his sister, as well as himself.
Feeling the rage that he experienced from his sister's death once again, Luhua decided to take Renfa away with him.
Renfa: Ngh... Luhua?
Luhua: Sorry. Did I wake you?
Renfa: No, it's all right.
Renfa: Is something wrong? You look rather pale.
Worried, Renfa sits up to take a closer look at Luhua's face.
Luhua: It's nothing. I just had a bad dream.
Renfa: Are you sure?
Luhua: Yes. Sorry to make you worry.
Luhua takes Renfa's hand in his and pulls her into an embrace.
Luhua: Soon, our dream will come true. We just have to endure a little longer until this war ends.
Luhua: Once I defeat Erdeni, they'll give me a position at court. Then you and I will finally become people.
Renfa: Okay...
Renfa: Whatever happens, I will always follow you. Please don't forget that.
Luhua: Yeah...
Luhua: (I won't let them take what's precious to me. Not anymore.)
Luhua: (No matter how much blood stains these hands, they'll never be able to strip anything away from me again.)
Luhua: (I'm going to do this. No matter the sacrifice...)
His arm around Renfa tightens.
Within the darkness, the two desperately cling to one another, with nothing but the moonlight as their guide for the future.
