You have your brother's blood.

He did not learn self-sacrifice from me.

Only flagellation.

Not at my hands.

Wei Ying. Mistress Wen.

Perhaps you should have been born in brotherhood, that you breathe in stubbornness to spite me.

Hanguang-jun. Do not take credit; it is not done out of spite.

A natural coincidence.

Does it frustrate you?

When you choose it so.

Do the foolhardy plans of everyone disturb you so?

( There's awe in it, a silvered age. Touch it, cool. )

You are aunt to my child. Family.

Your concern is duly noted, Hanguang-jun.

And duly dismissed.
