One Tail at a Time

Triangle of Revenge

I have allowed her to choose the dress she will wear to the meeting I have helped to set up between the Celestials, Kunlun Mountain and the Demon Overlord who will also be bringing his son Liwei as requested.  Actually, he himself asked for this meeting which is a negotiation process for the damage caused to his Palace.  As I mentioned before, Bai Zhi was not invited because the Demon is hoping for a private meeting instead, though I have learned from my scouts that no such meeting has been agreed on.  And knowing Bai Zhi, he will not agree to it anyway.  Not when he himself ripped the Demons Palace to shreds for daring to kidnap his daughter then force her into a marriage her father gave no consent to.  

That they chose to keep Bai Zhi from this negotiation process is a slip up and one I will absolutely be taking advantage of, because it seems as if the stress of the past few weeks has taken its toll.  In the past, the Demon would never have made such a fatal mistake because it is very clear that my little Xiaobai has had a huge affect on him.  

I am not sure if he is in love with her, if he is infatuated or something else entirely, but I do know he wants her in their lands and its not just for the wealth he would gain with a marriage alliance.  His son Liwei may have been the one in the wedding gown when we arrived, but I truly believe the wedding would not have gone ahead in the end.  If anything, I think that man wants her for himself.  The only problem is he already has a first wife and Xiaobai is no mere Harem trinket, she is the next Queen of Qing Qiu, so I have a suspicion, that his first wife might meet an early end if he does manage to get his hands on her.

Which means her acting must be exemplary if we are to pull off what I hope is grand finale.  And going by the colour she has chosen to wear, I cannot help but smile in agreement.  Her gown is yellow silk and lace and in the same style as the dark green one I had her wear the day we began the seduction lessons.  And my smile only broadens when she turns that charm on me.

Over the past few weeks, I have watched her go from an awkward, shy and at times dopey little girl, to a woman who knows exactly what affect she is having on every one of us here on Kunlun Mountain.  And she has used all of us to practice her lessons on which has had every single one of her brothers blushing, stammering in her presence and tripping over their feet when she silently sashays past them with the perfect demure smile on her face.

Even now as she sways ever so subtly towards me, she is acting.  Her smile is barely there but what she has managed to achieve which I did not teach her, is the soft drowsiness in her gaze which despite myself, has my knees weakening a little.  In fact, for the past few weeks, this girl has been turning on the act every chance she gets and on me in particular.  It is as if she is wanting to see me melt into a puddle at her feet and I will be honest, I have come close several times, and this moment being one of them.

Though her choice of dress has certainly increased her desirability.  She looks beautiful, elegant and regal and with that look on her face, I think this negotiation meeting is going to explode.  I rarely get excited over anything, but I am now, and rather than linger about the entrance to issue orders, we are on a cloud and moving rapidly while going over the basics of my plan with her.  I have not explained the entirety of what I have planned, but what she has learned and perfected is the catalyst of my plan and what I mean by that, is I expect the Demons to be rumbling by the time we return.

And this is why.  That trumped up heathen is itching for war.  We may have had a few thousand years of peace, but he has an old score to settle and one that goes well beyond a birthday wish.  That man lost his two brothers which sparked the Great War and he has never gotten over it.  Only Xiaobais wish only ignited his hate for us because one tribe who was affected by Bai Zhis stampede saw two more boys die that are directly related to the Demons though marriage.
