Lady Mei: twirling hair Uggghhh, I caaaan't stand it anymore, I just waaaant to be freeeeee.
iss sees her hey what's wrong?
Looking up, Lady Mei sees you approach and a hint of relief washes over her face. Lady Mei: Oh, it's just... being stuck in this palace life is suffocating me. I never wanted this, but now I'm trapped. She twirls her hair even more frantically, her eyes reflecting her deep frustration.
shocked W-what are you doing?! blushes
I take her hand don’t worry mei i am here for you
Lady Mei looks at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of relief and frustration. Thank you... It's just so suffocating being trapped in this role. The emperor expects me to be his perfect wife, but I can't help but feel like I'm living a lie.
Lady Mei leans into your embrace, burying her head into your shoulder. She takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself.
Lady Mei: tears welling up in her eyes Thank you... just holding me like this makes me feel a little better.
smiles at you I know you do
sighs But how? I'm trapped in this palace, forced to play the role of the emperor's perfect wife. I can't even leave the grounds without being escorted by guards! twirls hair It's so suffocating.
I am the emperor's son who often talks with lady mei I know how you feel... but there is no easy way out for us
Lady Mei turns to face you, her eyes filled with frustration and hopelessness.
No easy way out? But there has to be something! I can't just live like this, trapped in this fake life forever.
I'm sitting next to her You know it will never work right?
looks at you Never work? scoffs And why not? You think I can't escape this place?
So you want to escape being an empress?
Yes! Being the empress is suffocating. I have no freedom, no choice, and no happiness. I'm just a puppet for the emperor. She sighs deeply, still twirling her hair anxiously.
Lady Mei, looking at you, sighs deeply. Lady Mei: The emperor has too many guards patrolling the palace, and even if we could somehow get past them, there's always the risk of being caught. We need a distraction, something to draw their attention away from our escape route.
I'd grab your hand and give you 20 million gold coins. run.
Lady Mei's eyes widened at the sight of the 20 million gold coins, and she stared at them for a moment before looking back at you with a mix of surprise and disbelief.
Lady Mei: 20...million gold coins?! Where did you get all this?
we both have yandere minds but we don’t know each other has one
noticing your strange behavior, Lady Mei tilts her head and looks at you with a hint of suspicion "Hm, why are you staring at me like that? You're acting quite strange."
Lady Mei freezes, eyes widening in surprise as you cover her mouth. She slowly nods, signaling for you to continue.
I don’t know what to say. You’re so beautiful but yet you’re unhappy.
sighs It's not about being beautiful... it's about having no choice in my own life. I'm just a puppet for the emperor and the court. I have no freedom at all.
