Indeed, love.. And truly, she understood how strange it was to use the word ‘love’ and ‘Lu Bu’ in the same sentence. As far as the general public was concerned, her lord was merely a beast attached to a halberd. Sometimes.. it was so easy to see past the gentleness in his eyes after battle, when the moon was high and the candlelight low. Lu Bu ached and bled like a regular man, he loved and lost like a regular man… Yet it was so easy to fear him.

Just what was it that made someone human anyways?

“My lord is.. not like most men.” She admits carefully, turning her gaze from Xiaoqiao’s own. “My love comes second to the thrill of battle, to the warmth of adrenaline. I suspect he is off doing what he is known in this world for doing. Do you find it strange to hear the monster Lu Bu is able to love?”

Was it strange? Yes. But Xiaoqiao knew what it felt like to love someone, despite anything and everything they are. Her Lord was a well-respected man, and definitely not considered a beast by any means. But he was also very busy. Sometimes she wondered if he ever even thought about her, but still, she loved him all the same.

“I think everyone can love,” she responded, although it was true that she did not see Lu Bu as a human until now. Maybe people didn’t want to pity him, so they said he was only a tyrant and nothing more. “I’m sure you’ll find him soon!” Her cheerful tone returned to her, and she pivoted around so her back was facing the woman. “Anyway, let’s go find Lord Sun Jian. That’s why you came here, right?”

And with that, she started forward, her thoughts circling around the possibility of Lu Bu joining Wu. She wondered if Diaochan could make everyone see something human in the man who was hated so much.
