Chapter 788: North Country Wind and Cloud(1)_1
Legend has it that Alhatu, the second prince of the North Country, does not share any resemblances with his eldest brother. More specifically, Alhatu lacked the ruggedness distinct to northerners. If his identity were unknown, no one would suspect that Alhatu was from the North Country. His physique was rather frail, with fair skin, and he exhibited the graceful temperament of a Southern scholar, unlike his elder brother Brukan, who was the embodiment of a typical North Country man. One could guess that Brukan, while sitting on a horse, must be well over six feet tall, a robust figure evident even through padded clothing.
Lin Ziyin slightly frowned, judging from Brukan’s sullen eyebrow and gloomy eyes, this man seemed difficult to get along with.
However, whether he was agreeable or easy to dispatch no longer seemed within her control.
With a ’since it’s here, let’s deal with it’ attitude, Lin Ziyin gently dropped the curtain in her hand.
Tana, observing her nervously, then gently shook her head at her.
Lin Ziyin understood--Tana was telling her to calm down.
She smiled faintly and then bowed her head, appearing to no longer be concerned with the events outside, yet she pricked up her ears.
Seeing her actions, Tana finally moved her attention off Lin Ziyin, too, pricking up her ears to listen to the noise outside.
"Eldest brother." As the younger brother, Alhatu was the first to greet Brukan.
The people with Brukan had stopped, curiously gazing at Alhatu and the carriage behind him. Alhatu’s thoughtfulness incited a fleeting sense of triumph within Brukan. However, upon seeing the carriage behind Alhatu, his eyes darkened again.
