Banquet

I had worn my formal clothes, "Greetings, His highness sent me to exemplify him."

[Hello, my names Ki]

[It's my happiness to meet you]

"It seems you comprehend him, as such translate for me." I nodded.

[I wish to have a unity treaty with his sovereignty, as I want to exchange among our people.]

'I wish to have a peace treaty with his majesty, as I want to market among are people'

"I see, ask him what he wants?" His voice echoed.

[I want..there's someone there walk now]

"Your majesty, he says that someone is—"

"Assassin! There's an assassin in the palace!" Shouted a voice loudly.

I felt pain as something lanced me from behind, it hurt so bitterly, I couldn't even notice when I fell from the pain.

[Help! Help!!!]

"Calm down I'm going to get a little rest, stay calm and hope they kill them, don't worry yourself." I softly replied.

I slowly slipped out of consciousness, then was woken again, for how long I was out, had no clue.

I felt something holding my hand, "Your awake, I see you were right."

"You see, too many years of living some life experience." I muttered "Now I'm stuck in this bed for how long? I don't even dare know."

"You make yourself sound old." He spoke softly "Such things will give the wrong idea, to those who are narrow-minded."

His hand had tightly grasped mine, "Your daring, I'd admit that don't ever dare think you could fight off against someone like that again, you may wonder how did I know? I heard your swords clash, and footsteps echo in the subconscious, I dare say you need some work on your step."

A pair of footsteps really quiet come up near us, "I'm the physician responsible for taking care of you if my lord needs anything at all, due call me."

"Thank you," I replied softly.

He left, I think so?

"Your kind, not like I thought when I first met you." His sharp voice spoke.

"If you do not care for your body, how may I teach your highness the ways of my sword?" I asked.

"Your highness! Your highness! There's an imperial decree!" A servant shouted "His highness, Prince Yu, has been asked of, by his majesty, to take care of the swordsman who has in which saved this emperor's life, shall there be any further trouble caused by anyone, there will be a heavy punishment to any at all. Except for the decree!"

"Thank you, Your majesty!" He shouted.

I sighed, "There are many troubles ahead, how will I teach now? I had forgotten where I placed my sword?"

"I have your sword, it's like your blind or something, you left it near the door." His tone got softer, but still a little cold.

"Thank you." I smiled.

'His highness has no idea, my lord is blind! Ha if only he knew?' Thought those servants, or at least I would guess.

"Your tone is very cold, you give people the wrong idea, I think you're quite sweet," I replied.

I felt something on my head, "Here's a pin to replace the one that was pulled out of your hair. Don't relinquish this one."

I shone, "It's pretty right?"

"Of course." He retorted.

"Okay, I'll not lose it," I said, "Can I have some food now, I didn't even get to eat, at the banquet."

"Alright, bring food, now." His cold voice echoed.

I should probably tell him, I'm allergic to alcohol, if not this will cause problems later on.

[Acient times in some places allow children who are around 15-17 to drink wine, and some at thirteen] (Could be wrong on the part please don't blame me!)

"I can't drink." I replied, "Really can't."

"Oh so terrible when it comes to that alright, I won't let you." He replied.

He handed me the chopsticks as I find food and start to eat, "My siblings are right, your eyes would be prettier hasn't been for the white in the way."

I keep eating, while I feel something touch my cheek, "You don't respond at all? Hmm? I'll pull your cheeks out you here me!"

"I'm sorry, I was eating and I couldn't reply while I chewing." I replied quickly "Please don't take offense to this at all."

"Hmm, alright, Now you gotta have a sip of wine." He replied.

"I can't, I'm not allowed to, it's gonna make me sicker, please your highness don't force me," I replied. In a lower tone, I spoke, "I have an allergy to it, please don't make me."

"Alright, I won't." He muttered, "But you must be careful from now on, make that promise to me."

"I swear by the sword I draw." I whispered, "So help me that I die by the hands of someone evil, shall my soul never rest."

I felt pain to my forehead, "Ouch, why did you do that?"

"Good." He replied, "I thought you were serious when you said that."

I sighed, "Troublesome child, why'd I ever save you, I should've let you die, so troublesome, hadn't for the fact I care about you after all these years I would have left you for dead."

I turned away and tried to go back to sleep, "What do you mean after all these years? What's happened? Better yet why do you know me, this is the first time ever that we met?"

"Second, I met you when your mother passed." I held two fingers up.

"When my mother passed? How did you even know she passed? Wait why were you there? How did you meet my mother? How come you saved me that day?"

"A promise, to the individual who saved me, five years ago. I have to repay a debt, that's all. Enough talk for today." I replied.

"A promise? With her? What did you talk about? How did she save you? What happened five years ago?" He inquired.

"You'll understand when you meet dignitary who will disclose all to you, I can't speak greatly but I will say you one stuff, and barely this one aspect, Your mother's demise wasn't a disaster, she was massacred by the Huang, that society will do anything to eradicate me." I explained, "You have lived warned."

It was quiet till his voice spoke, "What perpetrated you to accomplish that they accomplished in my mother and want to annihilate you?"

"Hmm, I killed their director, he was plotting to revolutionary against emperor under the order of her monarch the empress." I griped, "But they didn't believe I would be sharper than ago, as you can see. Enough of that, I'm sleeping, I'm dead tired from today."
