Number Generated: 3—Your Muse makes breakfast for mine

After the incident two days ago, Liu Shan had owed Xiahou Ba a favour. Anything in his wildest dreams—that which Liu Shan could obtain that is—it would be granted to him. But he didn’t cash it in. And Liu Shan couldn’t leave a debt unpaid.

So in the early hours of the morning, he went to his residence and brought some food items. Something for a breakfast most delicious, if a bit simple (He never exactly had much of an opportunity to cook). When the general awoke to the smell of food, he was surprised to see the emperor in his kitchen.

wait a moment

Since he was a boy, Xiahou Ba had never really took the typical advantages a son of a noble household would usually be spoiled with, which include the use of servants doing whatever he requested whenever he wanted it. Just as he did in the service of Wei, he insisted to those within his household to not do anything he found to be excessive. So the smell of food being cooked was a surprise. He dawned his robes and proceeded to find out who exactly it was making food. Assuming someone new had been assigned to him he prepared a quick lecture of how he preferred things, and wanted to make sure it stuck so he wouldn’t have to make someone else do something simple for him. However, the person responsible wasn’t exactly someone he could order around to not do what he pleased.

“M-My lord?” eyes narrowed at the man, unsure if he was either still too sleepy to tell the difference between the emperor Liu Shan or perhaps simply someone who looked similar to him. However, a moment more and he realized he gazed upon the undoubtedly young features of the emperor of Shu In his own kitchen.

It didn’t take long for him to piece what he meant by the debt he owed him, but he was still struck by the fact the emperor of Shu was in his kitchen making him breakfast.

Certainly no Zihuan...

“It was nothing, My lord. Any general should be ready to defend their ruler from any threat..” He had no idea how far this man would go to repay what he thought should be relatively meager. Were it any other friend, he’d continue to protest, but to do so against the emperor of Shu would prove fruitless. He had already went into his own residences to make him breakfast, so he knew the man would have none of it, and continue to insist.

The words his cousin spoke were almost like daggers to his heart, he knew he’d have to face this eventually. He knew he’d have to face his own countrymen for the decision he made.

For the betterment of the house of Cao..

“Were it so simple...” he muttered quietly under his breath. He knew his cousin had his well being in mind, he didn’t wish to have to fight his own cousin. But he needed to consider his own cousin too. He was risking his own neck so long as the two were to return to Wei. But he knew once he returned, Fengxiao might be executed along with him merely for association. He knew this was something he couldn’t allow to happen to his cousin. Too many people, friends, and even another cousin of his were already killed by the Sima. He would not have another be be killed for his own decision.
