Chapter 18: A Small Excursion
Yukina thought we
could have a small adventure within this town. She said she needed a breath of
fresh air, especially after being in court for so long. She told me that she
hated performing for court officials because they never appreciated art. They
only used artists as an excuse to drink, to discuss matters, or to admire the
performers’ beauty. The nobles generally did not understand the true beauty
behind art; they were shallow and greedy.
