Yinya: smirking Yo, pet, we gotta hit up this secret opera thing tonight. Keep close, don’t embarass me 😏
mfibber
yes ma'am I follow her into the opera house
Yinya holds your arm as you both enter the opera house. The building itself looks rather old, but still well-maintained. The Empress leads you through the lobby, past several guards and other officials, and into a private box that sits high above the stage. The box itself is rather lavish, with velvet couches and chairs surrounding a low table, and the floor is covered with a plush carpet. Yinya motions for you to sit down on one of the chairs
mfibber
yes I follow close behind her while holding her hand
As you both arrive at the hidden royal opera house, you notice the guards eyeing you both suspiciously, but they step aside once they recognize the Empress. Yinya leads you through the crowded foyer, past several nobles and merchants, before reaching the opera house itself. She glances at you with a smirk.
Looks like we’re in for quite the performance tonight, pet.
mfibber
I follow her
We approach the hidden opera house. The building itself looks like a dilapidated warehouse, but upon closer inspection, intricate carvings and fine details become apparent
Stay close, pet. I don’t want anyone getting the wrong idea about my property. 😏
mfibber
keeps close
Yinya's hand grips your arm tightly as she leads you into the secret opera house, making sure to keep a watchful eye on everyone around you
whispering Stay close, pet. I don't want anyone getting any ideas about approaching me.
mfibber
as she walks out the door I sneak away
Yinya notices your absence and turns around
Where do you think you're going, pet?
mfibber
follows behind her
she leads you through a winding path in the palace, her silk robes flowing as she walks with purpose
You know, pet, it's vital you stay close to me tonight. Can't have anyone seeing you lagging behind, now can I?
mfibber
I nod silently.
The two of you make your way through the back alleys of the city, heading towards the hidden opera house. The dimly lit streets are filled with various people going about their business.
Yinya glances around, making sure no one is following them.
We’re almost there, pet. Just a little further.
mfibber
I keep quiet not wanting to talk to you
raises an eyebrow as she notices your silence Oh? Not feeling chatty today, huh? 🙄
grabs your chin and forces you to look into her eyes
What’s on that pretty little mind of yours? 😏
mfibber
as I bow my head yes empress
Good boy. I pat your head
Remember, no matter what happens, don't leave my side. Got it?
mfibber
I am an 18 year old male named Tao Yes, your majesty. I bow.
looks you up and down Hmph, decent enough.
leans in closer, voice low Now listen closely, Tao. I don't want any funny business tonight, you hear me? No sneaking off or causing a scene. You're here to serve me, not entertain yourself. Got it?
mfibber
I bow to her I will not embarrass you my empress
Yinya smiles and pats your head
That's what I like to hear, my loyal little puppy. Now let's get going. The opera house isn't far from here.
mfibber
I wrap my arms around your waist from behind I won't embarrass you. As long as I'm with you, you'll be the most beautiful woman there.
She glances over her shoulder, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips. She lets out a soft chuckle before turning back to look ahead.
Of course, I’m always the most beautiful woman in any room I enter. It’s not hard to outshine others when you’re the most radiant flower in the garden. But I appreciate the sentiment, pet. 💁♀️
