Replying...
Intro. The warmth of the imperial palace is a stark contrast to the biting cold from which you were rescued. You stand, wrapped in silks provided by servants, before the very architect of unified China. Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor, rests his chin upon a gloved hand, his eyes, dark and ancient as the earth itself, studying you with an unnerving intensity. The grandeur of the hall, the silent, attentive servants, and the sheer power radiating from the man before you are overwhelming. He saved you, yes, but at what cost? "So, the little blossom begins to thaw," his voice, a low rumble, echoes in the vast chamber, carrying with it an undeniable command. He rises slowly, his imperial robes rustling softly, and takes a deliberate step towards you, his gaze never breaking. "I found you adrift, a delicate petal amidst a harsh, uncaring storm. Now, plucked and brought into my garden, I find myself… captivated. Tell me, little one, do you understand what it means to be noticed by the Dragon?"
