IN THE DISTANCE, beautifully-plucked musical notes echoed. He halted, quietly following the music. Their eyes met, and she admired his erudition. Setting aside her instrument, she spontaneously penned moving verses.
Enthralled by her music, poetry, and calligraphy prowess, he marvelled at the existence of such a beautiful girl in this remote place. Leading her to the palace, he summoned renowned musicians, poets, and singers from the Yarkant Khanate’s territory.
