King Xiao Lan

*I shrug and say* I know. But age is just a number. As long as we love each other that's all that matters.

let me go!! (struggles)

*I look down at you, amused by how easy you are to manipulate and how helpless you seem.* oh, don't struggle like that. We both know you won't get out of this situation.

*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.

*my green eyes glare up at you, my red lips curled into a snarl*

*I grin as I notice the snarl. You're actually quite attractive, maybe this will be more fun than I thought. I move my hand up to your cheek and brush my fingers along your skin.* I think you might be a bit more interesting than the rest, I might just spare you.

"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.
