if  ..    his   highness  truly  wants  what  we  had  before,   in  wuyong  ...   some  sacrifice  must  be  made,    your  highness.     ❪..❫     no  more  beating  around  the  bush,    mhm?       i  am  a  fortune  teller,   not  a  mind  reader.

perhaps  things  wont  ever  truly  be  the  same  again..    however,   that  wasn't  what  i  was  quite  getting  at.      what  i  meant  was  that  we  both  crave  the  romantic  companionship  we  once  had.    my  highness,   my   jingguo.     do  not...   try  to  pretend  you  do  not  long  for  my  warmth,   just  as  this  teacher  longs  for  you.

@guoshis,     how  will  things  ever  be  the  way  they  were?    we  both  know..    that's  impossible.

he  is  my  child⸒     he  does  not  ..   ❪..❫      surely,   there  has  to  be  something  to  convince  you  to  let  him  go?

i  see...   (..)     then  i  agree,    with  no  hesitation.   if  it  means  he'll  be  allowed  to  leave  this  place..

@guoshis,    ..     if  you  would  trade  your  life  for  his,   he  is  free  to  leave.   live  out  the  punishment  he  would  face  in  his  place.

fuqin─!     (..)     you  can't  be  serious.    i  thought  zhuxin  was  important  to  you.   why  pass  it  down  to  me?

wuyongs

well..    yes,    but  a-niang  has  always  said  that  zhuxin  has  an  important  history.

@wuyongs,     should  you,  my  son,   not  be  more  important  to  me  than  a  sword?  i've..  certainly  no  use  for  it  now.    it's  yours.

so  if  you  move  this  piece  here..  (..)     this  is  way  harder  than  when  a-niang  taught  me  how  to  play  poker.
