Palace

[Yuan Shu]

Hmph. As Gonglu finished speaking, an officer, with utter guilt In his eyes entered the throne room, rudely interrupting Shu and his brother Shao's conversation. Shu understood that his brother may run things differently than himself, but this was rude in the eyes of Yuan Shu.

"Hmph, how dare sir!"

Shu said with a scowl on his face.

"What is your business that is so dire..that you could not wait until noblemen were done speaking!?"

Yuan Shu finished speaking, looking at the warrior with impatient eyes.

(sorry.. on my iPod)

[Kong Rou]

Rou's attention turned to the stranger. Apparently he was insulted by urgent news between a Ruler and his Subjects.

"My apologies Sir. My intentions were to inform the Lord the cause of my obvious injuries I've incured today."

Rou continued his story, this time looking towards Yuan Shao. with small coughs in between every few words.

"I was in the courtyard upset, I was in practicing my technique when a supposed drill instructor made his way to me. I suspected him to be an imposter. We dueld, as you can see he injured me, but the wound I inflicted to him was much worse. I shattered his leg into pieces with one blow. After meeting with your daughter we discovered the man was an apparent assassian sent upon you by the kingdom of Wu, I fear I may have started a war by winning that fight Sir."

Giving his attentions back to the stranger Rou spoke.

"I trust that news was urgent enough to interrupt?"

[Yuan Shu]

Eck. Even Yuan Shu had to admit that was big news. He would question the warrior, he wanted to know what was happening within his brother's kingdom.

"Yes...*sigh*, I suppose that is rather pressing news..though I do think you are overreacting a bit, I must say." He said, with a sarcastic look on his face.

"Though, even if the duel had caused anger from the supposed assassin, I doubt Lord Sun foolish enough to strike now, when the Yuan family is near the most powerful warlords in this country. If so, I have no doubt my brother will be ready...."

With this, Shu realized he had not introduced himself, a phrase that has turned into a routine for him.

"Oh, excuse my manners. I am Lord Yuan Shu, stylized Gonglu, of Wan and Ru Nan. Brother to your Lord, Yuan Shao; Uncle to your beloved princess, Yuan Ji." Shu said with a smile on his face

Gonglu then realized the soldier had yet to be helped with his wounds. "those look quite severe indeed." Shu knew it wasn't his place to command the officer, however.

[Xian Ye]

Angrily rubbing the scar on the back of his neck, He watched the Palace seem to grow bigger with every step. He wasn't exactly the most patient person, especially if someone was mocking him. He glanced over to Hiro, trying to judge him a bit more. He seemed allright, maybe a bit easy to anger, like him, but dependable. Burai....He allready had his oppinion of Burai. He focused again on the Palace, where Yuan Shao would be. Not even a month ago, He would've been coming here to kill him, now he was coming here to serve him. Fate is a fickle thing.

((Sorry it's so short guys, and it took me so long. Been busy lately.))

[Yen Wang (Burai)]

Burai was waiting for Yuan Shao, they had important this to dicuss. There was about Yuan about, but he wasn't the man, who he wished to speak of. "Yuan Shao making me wait.." It was bad enough, that he had to wait, with this annoying man and Kong Rou.

Burai's dislike for Komg Rou, continued to grow, everytime he saw the man, he was gaveling to some noble. Nobility wasn't important to him. He would treat whoever, however he liked. "Yuan shao.." Burai sighed, he didn't care what time of day it was. No man kept him waiting. He causally walked into the palace. Giving anyone who stepped up to him an death defying stare. Burai would not put up with any non sense.

[Kong Rou]

Rou looked over at Burai, like always he looked upset, or maybe slightly constipated.

"Are you feeling okay?"

[Cao Pi]

Yuan Shao ate an apple, in his palace in Nan Pi.
