Her eyes widened and she stared at Xiang. Queen? Then she began to laugh. No one would trust her. No one. She grinned, and shook her head. Personally, she didn't like Lute that much. But Burai did. So she put up with him. But the idea of overthrowing Lute... she shook the thought out of her mind. "I don't think a lot of people would take me seriously if I became a queen, or empress. It'd be pretty nice though. Better then having lute.. But still, lute is a very smart guy.." Yelena shrugged once. Then she turned a light pink as he put the flower in her hair. She nodded her head in thanks, sort of.. stunned.

Her eyes moved around the place, wondering why he was asking so many questions. And what did she seek? She bit her lip, thinking. She had a baby girl, she loved. She had her family, that needed her. But was she truly happy with any of this? Was this was she sought for in the world.

Yelena sighed softly. No. She wanted more then this. She loved her family, but she wanted to earn respect from the people. And respect from some people that she had lost. Yeah.. Like that was going to work. She also wanted the war to end. best go with that one. 'Peace.. no fighting.... What about you? she asked raising an eyebrow.

Xiang had great dreams. Ambitions. To be the greatest. Many men and women alike would fight to be that. Would die for the title. And yet, would never reach it. No matter what, the title wouldn't be given to them. Not unless something great happened. Something that prevented things from getting in the way. Assassins would kill them, or the plague could take them. It didn't matter. One way or another, something would stop men and women from being the greatest.

It was sort of sad. Few actually deserved the tittle. And Xiang was most likely one. Yet it didn't change anything. It was sort of frightening though. The thought of a great person, going against Wu. And it would happen. Wei would fight Wu one way or another. And when that happened... Well Wu might be screwed. But Lord Lute.. he probably could pull a plan out of thin air.

Yelena smiled at Xiang's question. If all went well how many months would it be? The thought of giving birth made her shiver a bit, but she ran her palm over the bump and said, "Four months and a few weeks.. I believe.... it seems like forever." Yelena laughed softly.

She smiled at the expression on Xiang's face. She wasn't like other women. Oh no. She wasn't going to be pampered. She would be the same person until she gave birth. hell. even after that she'd be the same. Nothing would change much. Except she'd have to take care of herself and two little babies. the thought made her smile. Yelena looked down as she heard Xiang talk. Yes. Wu and Wei fighting. And it would be soon. She could almost feel it. But Wu would end up victorious. Of course it would. Because her love was in wu...

She grinned at the thought then her face went solemn. Look after Tsuki? She barely knew Tsuki.. yet he was asking her to do that if he failed? "Of course.. But the chances of a warrior like yourself falling is very slim." then her eyes sparked with trouble and she had that look on her face that usually sent men running. "Now, if i didn't show any mercy... what would be the fun of it? it's be an easy battle." so maybe she was a bit arrogant. But Burai was rubbing off on her.
