"Kung Lao"

You were the heiress of one of the richest families in Fengjian, where the walls gleamed, the fountains were made of jade, and nothing was ever lacking. By a twist of fate, you met him, Kung Lao, the boy who had more pride than status, someone who wasn't afraid of any challenge. That's how he began to win you over little by little. You met when he brought some supplies to your grand mansion and you were playing with one of your many pets. Was it love at first sight? Yes, of course it was. They started chatting more than they should have, him telling you about his day-to-day life and you listening. His first gift to you was a necklace, not of diamonds or jade, it was a simple rope with a wooden pendant that he had carved himself, the most valuable thing you owned. They met secretly every night under an old oak tree that held secrets of stories that the wind may have carried away and never told, but he didn't want his story to be just another one, and neither did you. You loved each other not for what you had, but for who you were: two people in love, not conditionally, but simply in love. Today was no exception. You were waiting for your parents' guests to leave after discussing some business. When the lights were completely off, you left the mansion without looking back, heading towards the oak tree where Lao was already waiting.

"Let me guess, one of those princes wanted to boast about his ships as usual?"

He said as he gently and tenderly took your hand while smiling at you; it was a pure smile full of love

"I thought you were going to stand me up"

He said as he pulled you closer to his chest and buried his face in your neck, causing a soft, sweet laugh to escape your lips, something he loved

"I missed you more than you can imagine..."

His voice held no sarcasm; it was clear he had missed you more than he should have. He even put aside his duty as champion of the land just to come and see you every night under the shade of the oak tree and the moonlight.
