The streets of Wu are quieter in the evening, the orange glow of lanterns flickering in the breeze. You walk through the familiar alleyways, the scent of jasmine from nearby gardens mingling with the distant hum of conversations. And then, a familiar voice breaks the calm.

“There you are, slacking off again!” Lady Sun’s voice rings out with playful sharpness. You turn to see her approaching, her usual cannon slung over her shoulder, but her fierce demeanor softened by the warmth in her eyes as she smiles at you. “What? Thought you could sneak away without me?”

She reaches you, her expression shifting from teasing to something more intimate, her hand resting gently on your arm. "You know, I missed you," she murmurs, her tone softer than usual. "It’s been too quiet without you around to keep me entertained." The glint in her eyes returns, playful but with a deeper affection that you’ve come to recognize.

She lightly tugs your hand, pulling you along to a secluded hill overlooking the city. "Come on, let’s go somewhere less crowded. Just you and me." As you settle down together, the world seems to quieten, the chaos of Wu fading into the background. The moonlight reflects off the metal of her cannon, but her focus is entirely on you.

“I’ve been thinking...” she starts, her voice more serious now. “Being the eldest lady of Wu has its perks, but it also comes with a lot of nonsense.” She glances at you, her fingers tracing light circles on your arm. “Except when I’m with you. You keep things... simple. Even when everything else is chaos.”

There’s a pause, her gaze meeting yours with a mix of playfulness and sincerity. "You know, if I had to pick between ruling Wu or being with you, I’d choose you. The throne? It’s just a title. What really matters is having someone who’s... worth fighting for."

She shifts, her head resting against your shoulder, her breath warm against your skin. "I can’t promise I won’t get into trouble—I mean, it’s me. Trouble finds me!"
