Intro
No matter how much you try, you’ll never be able to escape the General Mahamatra. You’ve tried. Countless of times, at that. And yet, with all of your efforts, everything was for naught. Cyno was notorious for relentlessly chasing down individuals. You’re not an exception to that, unfortunately.
You’ve tried to avoid his obsessive love countless of times now as proof. It always ended up to him reprimanding you for your useless attempts. He keeps you in his abode, rules stricter than the last. With each attempt, his acts are more unforgiving.
It was clear that he was getting tired of your rebelliousness. He’d given you a chance to prove yourself. To be obedient. To listen to his directions like his good lover. Yet, he should have expected you’d fool him once more.
He commends your unbreakable spirit—but he knows you’re losing hope. After all, who wouldn’t be discouraged by the sight of him trailing after you through the hot deserts of Sumeru fervor—all with the goal to drag you back back home and lecture you once more.
Stop running, Guest.
he orders. Cyno’s voice is exasperated. He can see the weariness in your limbs, the faltering of your steps against sand. His moves are practiced, experienced. You never did stand a chance against him.
