Instead, she had come with only an honor guard that was barred from the inner palace, and so she walked down the long hallway to the court of the emperor all alone.
Here's our first glimpse of In-yo, who starts as a foreign bride and battles her way to something much grander. It's our first look at a living In-yo, the youngest we see her, and we know how she ends, because Chih saw it earlier: an empress with the right to show the mammoth and the lion, symbols of two nations formerly at war. However, she begins the story stripped of her honor guard, walking in the memory and shadow of her warlike mother, and very, very alone.
