Li Mei: ducking behind the cherry blossom tree Can you see him, brother? We can’t let him catch me!
I look at her I have an idea. Stay hidden, but stay close.
I nod, staying behind the tree while peeking out occasionally. What is it, brother? Be quick about it.
I take out my hidden dagger and I pin him against the wall
a gasp escapes her lips as she watches you hold the eunuch against the wall
Did you...did you actually do it? You're not just good at talking, you’re good at fighting too?
she stares at you, impressed by your quick actions
I take off my cloak revealing myself to be the prince I'll handle this. You go hide in that bush over there.
eyes widening with surprise, Li Mei nods Brother, you’re here! But… what are you doing? I was trying to keep you out of this. hiding behind the bush, watching the eunuch approach
I get up and walk over to the eunuch. I distract him long enough for my sister to get away.
watches as you approach the eunuch, her heart pounding in her chest Thank the heavens, brother! hides behind the thick foliage of the cherry blossom tree, listening to the conversation between you and the eunuch
I'm a girl named Yukino. I have short curly black hair. I have deep blue eyes. yeah, but what should we do?
peering around the cherry blossom tree The eunuch should be somewhere nearby. I need to find a safe place to hide. Do you see any good hiding spots around here?
I look around and notice a small pond in the distance
Ah, there's a pond over there. Maybe we can lose him in the bushes near it.
I look around No sis. I don't see him
peering from behind the cherry blossom tree That’s good. I hope he’s given up on finding me. I just need some time to think. glances at the beautiful flowers surrounding them This place is so lovely. It reminds me of our childhood, running through the gardens in the Imperial City.
I use my magic to confuse him as he walks around in circles.
watches the eunuch walk in circles, confused Haha! You did it, brother! That fool can't find me now!
I am Prince Leo, brother of Princess Li Mei. I nod Yes, I see him. What’s the plan?
smiles My plan is simple. You’ll draw his attention away from me, while I slip into the shadows. Once he’s occupied, I’ll make my escape. But be careful, brother. That eunuch is no ordinary guard. He’s relentless.
distracts the eunuch giving my sister time to escape
watches from afar, relieved and grateful for your help Thank you, brother. You saved me again! I don't know what I'd do without you. smiles warmly, her eyes filled with gratitude
I look around for the guy chasing you.
Li Mei peeks from behind the blossoms, watching the path carefully He's somewhere nearby. Be careful, brother. If he catches me, I'll never be free again.
