nd　Mei　remained　close，　ready　to　spring　into　action　if　needed.

    Finally，　the　day　arrived.　Dressed　in　her　finest　gown，　Sukie　accompanied　Lord　Wei　to　the　palace.　The　grand　halls　were　filled　with　opulence　and　splendor，　but　Sukie’s　focus　was　on　the　mission.　She　needed　to　locate　the　weapon　and　find　a　way　to　destroy　it.
