Asu Continent...
Mandarin Empire, Henan Province...
Gangwon, Qin manor...
Patriarch's room...
- Midwife (takes a baby from inside the mother and joyfully lifts him up): It's a boy! It's a boy Zhao... (jubilant, laughing)
Minutes later...
- Qin-Sun Tzu (enters the room and finds the baby crying on his mother's lap): My son! The son of my old age! (ecstatically runs to see the boy's face)
- The midwife (looks at the other servants): Let's leave them alone... (all the handmaidens leave)
- Qin-Zhao (exhausted and sweaty, lying in bed, with the baby in her arms): Isn't he beautiful, Sun? He has your eyes, although he didn't even open them, but I already know... (chuckling)
- Qin-Sun Tzu (picks up the boy, lifts him up to the sky): Boy, you will be greater than your father ever was, you will be stronger than the masters of the legendary Pendragon era. What is the name you chose?
- Qin-Zhao (panting): He has to be calm and sincere, so I'm going to name him Zheng. Who with sincerity and honor will establish harmony...
Twenty-one years later...
Gangwon, Imperial palace...
Throne room...
- The soldiers in the throne room (at their posts)
- Two servants (next to the king, smiling)
- The cupbearer (puts a glass of wine in the emperor's hand)
- Emperor Qin (sitting on the throne, shaking his head, holds the glass of wine): That's it Dan!
- The cupbearer (crouching): It's a pleasure to serve you my king... (smiling)
- A servant (enters the throne room, and crouches in the presence of the emperor): Your imperial majesty...
- Emperor Qin (humming, looks at the servant): Did you do what I asked?
- The servant (with head bowed): Yes, sovereign, I did. Here is Mister Ming, his wife and his daughters...
- The Ming family (enters the throne room, crouches)
- Lord Ming (crouching, sighs) "He has decided to kill us now...": Yo-Your Majesty...
- The servant (notices that the king does not stop looking at him): Madam Qin and the empress do not know of their presence, sovereign...
- Emperor Qin (laughing, stands up): Great! Them knowing would be a shame. (he descends from the throne, puts his hands on Mr. Ming's shoulders): I called you for a very simple reason... (looks at his daughters)
- Lady Ming (head down, veins on her face) "You've already taken the throne, what more do you want?!" (with her head down, peeps and smiles) "Oh, I wasn't expecting to be so soon..."
- Lord Ming (looks at the king): ... C-Can I ask why I was called?
- Emperor Qin (looking at the two girls, puts his hands on their cheeks): I couldn't kill you because of Lord Yuwen's mercy, but now that he's gone... "I'm going to make it look like a favor from me..."
- Mister Ming (looking at the king): The agreement was that we shouldn't cause trouble so as not to die, and we didn't. Won't the emperor keep his word...? (trembling)
- Miss Gyu Ming (trembling, with the lustful hand of the emperor passing through her petit face)
- Miss Gumiho Ming (with the hand of the emperor passing through her face and an innocent smile sculpted in her angelical face) "Disgusting human. I will kill you!"
- Lady Gu Ming (looks at the emperor with veins on her face) "Stop playing around, you doofus! I know what you want!": Sovereign, with all due respect! This is unfair! You already took the throne, already took everything from us, what else do you want?!
- Emperor Qin (smiling, with a vein on his forehead, puts his hands behind his back): I'm going to forgive your tone because you're exaggerating. I didn't say I want to break my word.
- Emperor Qin (sighs): I will go straight to the point. Now I am the emperor, my needs are laws! I am in need of descendants, and you are in need of protection. The people hate the Ming family, but I will make you part of the imperial family again, you just need to give me your daughters. This will make it look like your family never lost the throne and you will have mine, my one million army and Arthuro-Sama's protection. In exchange I just want your daughter's fertility, is it so bad to marry the emperor...? (with a joyful face) "And her bodies of course... Hehehe..."
- Lady Gu Ming (containing her joy, bows her head) "This is more than what I was expecting. This kid is giving me the throne just because of is lust... Fufu... Everyone in this room can see that you are a pervert, ogling Gumiho and Gyu's bodies like a predator. I wanted Yuwen as a son-in-law, but he isn't bad..."
- Mr. and Mrs. Ming (exchange glances)
- The two girls (exchange glances, blush)
- Emperor Qin (looking at them, sighs): It's clear that my empress will take time to be pregnant again, the doctors estimate that she will only give me five children at most, but that is sad, at least for me. So, I've decided that I'm going to have more wives, and your daughters came to mind. But if you don't want to, no problem, I'll eventually find more women. (turns to the throne, and climbs the stairs with a subtle smile) "... 3, 2, 1..."
- Mr. Ming (exchanging glances with his wife) "This is great, at least I will preserve the name of the Ming family, for now...": N-No. That's not it. T-The request took us by surprise... If that is what the girls' want, we don't have a problem...
- Lady Ming (nervously, looks at both of them) "We have two paths her. First, the wedding then we kill him and his family by poisoning, but this is risky because that Yuwen monster already spotted us and I think he saw through us, and so we go down to the second path. He gets married to these knuckle heads and Gumiho makes him fall for her to the point that he gives her the title of empress, and the two give him a bunch of idiotic children like him that we can manipulate, and while we do that, we have to ensure that one of those kids has a relationship with the Pendragon family, that will be my greatest achievement..." (covers her smile) : Gumiho, Gyu! Don't make the emperor wait... [Gumiho, make sure that your sister doesn't mess up this opportunity!]
- Misses Gumiho and Gyu Ming (blushing)
Palace garden...
- Madam Zhao (looking at Eleanor, smiling): I miss Sun, I wish he could be here...
- Empress Eleanor (her hand on her belly, looking up at the sky) "I would very much like to give Zheng a son, not one, but two sons, with his bad humor..." (smiles)
- Madam Zhao (looking at her): What are you thinking?
- Empress Eleanor (looks at her): Zheng, he always sang that he would be king, and he succeeded...
- Madam Zhao (laughing) "Such a bad liar, you're thinking in giving him more kids...": I remember the day I met you, you were a scared pregnant little girl... Forgive me for throwing you two out of home...
- Empress Eleanor (smiling): It's ok, ma'am. I would do the same if Er came home pregnant, I don't even blame my parents... And I miss them a lot... (sighs): It's all Zheng's fault, I don't know how I let myself be seduced by those smooth talks and his jokes, he wasn't... (clears her throat): Sorry...
- Madam Zhao (smiling): Rest assured, I know what you were going to say. He wasn't a big deal. I bet you also liked Arthur Yuwen, a handsome, strong, tall young man, a godlike persona, chosen by God, who wouldn't?
- Empress Eleanor (covers her face): At first, yes, I liked him. But then I realized that I was one of the many that he ignored, and then came Zheng, who gave me attention, showered me with praises and affection, a pity that I didn't want to see that I was never the only one... (runs her hand over her face): I regret what I did... From Zheng I never asked to be queen, I just wanted him to love me back, but he doesn't respect me enough to treat me as the only one...
- Madam Zhao (looking at her, smiles) "Your parents are already on their way here, too bad it's a surprise, I can't tell you...": I couldn't have asked for a better daughter-in-law, you love my son. I feel it in your eyes, but he's like his father, unfortunately... Many women. You don't know, but Sun had other women. Those who you think are Zheng's cousins, are actually his brothers... (with a vein on her face): I, like you, had to put up with a lot. But I learned from an adventurer, who said that a wife should be the one who is always there... (smiles)
- Empress Eleanor "Adventurer?" That kind of reminds me of Alexia?...": The one who's always there... I guess that's me...
Throne room...
- Miss Gumiho Ming (crouches, with a subtle smile): I'm your servant, my lord. I will make all your desires come true... (looking at the emperor, her eyes assuming the form of pulsing hearts)
- Emperor Qin (sitting on the throne, smiles) "This woman has an interesting name, Arthuro-Sama talked about her, she's an irresistible blonde hottie..."
- Miss Gyu Ming (crouching with a red blushful face) "This is so embarrassing to say...": I'm your handmaiden, anything you want I will do, your majesty...
- Lord Ming (looking at the king, sighs): He can't stop looking at Gumiho...
- Lady Gu Ming (smiling): Leave him be, I told her about the plan. She knows her mission.
- Emperor Qin (sitting, drinks a mouthful of wine): Great, as a sign of respect for Lord Arthur, your daughters will be my wives. And you will be part of the Qin family... (with a sadistic smile and a glass of wine in his hand)
- Mr. and Mrs. Ming (exchange glances)
- Miss Gyu Ming (seeing the king's countenance, swallows) "He looks like he's going to eat us alive..."
- Miss Gumiho Ming (staring at the king, smiling) "You won't even remember that you have other wives besides me!"
Days before...
Imperial palace, courtyard...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Qin): Zheng, I know you're interested in Ming's daughters... "I should've killed them, I made a mistake!"
- Emperor Qin (thinking of them, smiles): A blondie with red eyes, a voluptuous body and another brunette with a petit face... They are so hot...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at him, sighs): You're going to die early, be careful! Ever since I saw their mother, I've had a bad feeling like a warning from the Essence of Light, and Gubong confirmed it to me, she's a fox. And the daughters probably are, the youngest, Gyu, may not be, but the oldest, Gumiho, I have no doubt, she's a nine-tailed murderer.
- Emperor Qin (smiling): Exciting, dangerous relationships...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at him, overwhelms Qin with his kill intent): Don't make me regret putting you on the throne! Did you forget our agreement?!
- Emperor Qin (on his knees, being choked) "I thought he stopped with the murderous impulse, but he's like a monster...": A-Arthuro-Sama, I'll make you proud... Eleanor is the best, the hottest, her body is the only body I crave for...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at him, frees him with a vein on his forehead) "It's my fault...": It's for your own good, foxes can be subtle and kill without anyone knowing the cause, so be careful! Don't marry any of them, it's a trap from Ming. "He won't listen. How could I be so distracted?! Showing mercy to Ming was putting Zheng's life in line..."
Weeks later...
Corridor of the King's room...
- Emperor Qin and Gumiho (advancing towards the room, caressing each other's bodies while kissing lustfully)
- Lady Gumiho Qin (pushes the king): Let's finish this in your bed... (undresses as she enters the room)
- Emperor Qin (turns, looks at the bodyguards): What are you looking at?
- The bodyguards (blushing as they look at Gumiho, immediately turn to their positions avoiding the king's gaze)
- Emperor Qin (smiles): Don't let the empress get in here! (closes the door)
In the king's room...
- Emperor Qin (takes off his cloak while looking at Gumiho's naked body) "Forgive me Lord Arthur, but how can I resist this voluptuous body...?"
