Over time, one grows to become more affectionate to the target they are supposed to kill.
Perhaps one could consider it a momentary weakness, a lapse in judgement on the assassin's part.
Despite the voices in her head wanting to end the life of the Emperor, Mei Ling felt that this was the most appropriate way to end his life. Disguised as his former lover, in their most secluded chambers, and a dagger right into the heart.
Once the Emperor was dead, she would make a big deal about it, inherit the throne, and marry her watery beloved for all eternity.
Nothing could ruin this plan and it had to happen tonight!
Mei made sure the room was adequately ripe with primal lust. She lit some candles, she dressed in her most provocative nightgown, poured some Osmanthus wine, and laid down on the bed. The moon was high in the sky, the nightly air blew gently through the room, and she had sprinkled some Glaze Lilies all over the place. Her body was freshly washed and perfumed for this occasion.
As she brushed her hair in the mirror, the image of Osial appeared before her. The watery snake gave her a smirk, his eyes wandering down to her neckline and her bosom. He gave a soft groan under his breath. Mei gasped, dropping her brush at the image of Osial in her mirror.
"O-Osial!" Mei reached down to pick up her brush and smiled. "I didn't expect to hear back from you so soon! I'm going to do the plan tonight. I have the potion ready to make the Emperor drop his guard and declare his everlasting love to me."
"And then you'll kill him and we can finally be together."
A pause happened for a moment, making Mei think about her interactions with the Emperor throughout the months. At first she was only doing this out of revenge. How she was forgotten by the other archons, left to rot down in the Chasm to perish and vanish from the planet. She wished to make the big rock that held Liyue down crumble under her hands.
And yet...the sweet taste of revenge didn't sound so good anymore.
Osial noticed her facial expression turn melancholic. "What troubles you, my diamond? Did that heartless Emperor do something to you?"
"No...I know this is what we must do in order to take over this region." Her hand pressed against the reflective surface. "We shall be united soon."
Osial placed his hand on hers and leaned forward. Mei smiled, putting her forehead against the surface in an affectionate manner. How she longed to be rejoined with her lover and savior. If it hadn't been for him, she would've never ventured so far into Liyue. The least she could do was return his favor and affection.
Despite the beating of her heart towards her affections for the Emperor.
Mei went into the main chamber where she went to lay on the bed. The bottle of changing formula felt heavy in her hand as she uncorked it. The saccarine taste of the pink fluid slid down her throat, making her gag a bit. A shudder went through her body, the potion taking effect. Her eyes darted to the nearby mirror and saw the face of Empress Guizhong staring back at her. It worked! She had done it!
The door to the room opened to reveal the weary form of the Emperor. It had been a long day in his kingdom and all he wanted was a nice rest with his beautiful wife. Throughout the months, he had grown fond of his new bride. Though his heart longed for his previous love, his new wife was equally as ravishing and cunning.
