Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 325
At that moment, the musicians, having received the signal, each picked up their instruments and began to play a faint, wistful melody.
The music was far too serene and mysterious for a vow-taking ceremony—like the kind of tune that might drift on the air as a butterfly took flight.
As someone emerged to the sound of that music, the high priest carefully controlled his expression, trying not to reveal excessive curiosity.
But soon, disappointment tinged with bewilderment spread across his face—the figure who appeared had covered themselves entirely in a red veil, concealing not only their face but their whole body.
They had hidden themselves with astonishing thoroughness.
Is this the Emperor’s preference, or their own? The high priest gaped in confusion, then quickly shut his mouth as someone quietly stepped up beside him.

The high priest was, after all, a professional. He swiftly concealed his inner turmoil, assumed a solemn expression, and held out the vow document toward the concubine.

Inwardly, he wondered, ‘Can they even see the writing through that?’ but kept his thoughts to himself. If they couldn’t see, they’d surely remove the veil themselves.

When the Emperor offered an ink-dipped quill, the concubine took it with that hand and, with perfect precision, wrote their name so large it burst beyond the designated space.
