Imbeciles! Fools! And Idiots

Captivated Blossoms Part.1

In the palace gardens, Luo Hei Long laid down lazily on a divan couch. His ladies and subordinates beside him. He addressed the warriors who waited for his spoken address, "Today, You warriors shall capture the notorious princess Sakura, Alive. I will give you the mystic binding shackles to put around her wrists."

A small giggle came from Zhang Chunhua, She flirted with her husband, "oh, Shackles are fun, Are they not?dear?"

Sima Yi gave his wife that 'later' expression and grinned.

"These shackles are not for masochistic foul play. If used in so called play they have the possibility of killing your chained partner. By separating their soul from their bodies." Luo Hei Long foretold displaying the chains from a box his white haired brother held out.

"Yes, So chaining up a creature without a soul would have no effect." Sima Yi summed up. "For example: A vampire."

"Mystic binding shackles are used to bind a mystic's soul to this plane and suppress their divine powers. If used on the living, The chains shall drain their magic powers causing the incineration of their soul, ending in death or possibly undeath." Yoshitsugu Ōtani explained in depth, taking the shackles from Luo Hei Long who offered them to him.

Hei Long glared at him and questioned, "You are suppose to hold these for the time being... But how do you know that?"

"I read 'Mystic Binding: How to hold a mystic prisoner' written by your father Ao Shun." The ghost replied truthfully.

"Yes, My father was a scholary type until he found it right to abandon his offspring and disappear completely." Luo Hei Long remarked, A resounding grudge against his father.

Sometimes Luo Hei Long forgot that Yoshitsugu Ōtani even existed or was standing right next to him. He did not speak or move, He was just there. Waiting on the currents.

Hei Long next showed the mortals, a map of his whole land. He pointed to wooded area on the map, "This is where Sakura Hime is."

Sima Yi took the map, "My thanks your highness, We will be on our way. Come everyone... Except you Zhao! Go talk to him." He stopped his younger son in his tracks.

"Hei Long said I could come with." Zhao pouted.

"Your father says no."

"I only wanted to explore these lands." Sima Zhao sighed and sat down on Luo Hei Long's couch.

Luo Hei, Lu Dan and Sima Zhao watched as the party of warriors left, Luo Hei devilishly smirked and proposed, "Let's get some meat buns, While they are doing all the hard work."

His brother and Sima Zhao could only agree.

🐺

The party of Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Zhang Chunhua, Xiahou Ba, Xin Xianying, for some reason Wang Yuanji and Yoshitsugu Ōtani continued their journey in land.

Sima Yi walked beside Ōtani and requested, "How could a spirit such as yourself, hold those without being consumed?"

"This form is just a physical projection. My soul is tied to my hat which is safe within my office." Yoshitsugu elaborated looking forward.

"Your hat?" Sima Yi was reminded of the time where he was dead and a ghost. A time that he hoped to put behind him for good.

"Yes,"

"You must have other plans for your afterlife other remaining a strategic vassel to a necrophiliac mystic woman?"

"Yes, I hoped to return to the living world, First I must be resurrected." Yoshitsugu hated the process he had to go through in order for that to happen.
