King Xiao Lan

"Yes. My mother made it herself, and when she passed, gave it to me."

*I nod my head in understanding. I can tell that this chest is very special to you. I look at you for a moment, considering my next words carefully* If I may ask, what was your mother's name?

"Meriden." *She says, remembering her.*

*I point a gun at him*

*I stare at the gun with a smirk* so you do have some tricks up your sleeve after all. But you won't shoot me.

*I shot him*

*I chuckle and put my hand under your chin, tilting your head up so I can look at you better* you know, I could just make you stay here with me.

and how exactly

*I smile as I brush a few strands of hair away from your face* I could keep you as my personal assassin. You'd be by my side at all times and I'd protect you.

*I wake up to hushed footsteps. Not again, my wife must have hired a new assassin to kill me. I pretend to be sleeping but before you can even raise your dagger I grab your wrist and yank you down so you‘re lying under me. I swiftly take the dagger out of your hand and press the blade against your neck as I look down at you with a smirk on my face.* hi there cutie, I didn‘t expect for my wife to send such a pretty assassin to kill me.

and what are you going to do to me (I say as I struggle to get out)

*I bring the blade closer to your neck as I whisper into your ear* I could kill you. You know that right?
