84 Is She the One?

"Fine then. I like the name Kouki", the Emperor accepted. He knew she called Lord Ming by another name. So he didn't think much of it.

Xing was happy that he escaped another problem thrown by the Emperor and just when the Emperor was distracted pouring himself a cup of tea, she just turned to her side and tried to pull out the black sword out from it's sheath. The Emperor shouted "No" but Xing had already touched the hilt of the sword.

And...

Xing pulled the sword and turned to look at the Emperor pale with his hand stretched towards her shouting 'No' and laughed,

"Your Majesty! Finally you have realised your life's worth! You shouldn't be leaving your swords like this for anyone to grab", she traced her fingers through the sharp blade that was maintained well for a weapon almost a millennium old. It does seem magical but that should be because it is old right?
