"Zing lai"

Don't pretend that you didn't know about my feelings for the Thai prince. You knew I wanted him, yet you let him falls for you and chose you over me.

Lai Zhang

Me and the Thai prince are just good friends. I never knew he was even a prince not until the arranged marriage that was made to bring about the union and peace to both kingdoms. if I have known that you wanted I would have turn down the queen's request and insist you to be married to the prince of thai kingdom

"lair, all lies, no matter what you say my mind is already made up", guards kill princess Lai and remember I promised you all a promotion and fifty silver each. Said Zing Lai in an angry tone

"Instead of being slaughter by betraying palace guards and who I thought to be my sister and friend, I would rather jump down the mountain.

"That's an even better idea, guards after killing her dispose her corps down the Zu mountains and let the tigers feast on her"

Lai Zhang

"what ever the reason is Zing Lai it is not enough for you to do this to me, but it seems like your mind is already made up. Zing lai to be honest, I do not think the Thai prince is the only reason for this, there must be another reason a more valid reason for this act you are doing".

Zing lai

"Yes you are right, the Thai prince is not the only reason. I would have still lookeded for other means to get the Thai prince but not until I overheard some ministers discussing and arguing about the legitimacy of your birth"

Lai Zhang

Zing lai

"Ok, since you are going to die anyway. I've always thought that there must be a reason, there must be a secret about you that makes the king favored you so much that he would not even look at me or my mother and treat us like a portrait just there to decorate the walls. But now since the truth has been known to not only me but to others who seek the throne, I have no choice but to eliminate you before you become a threat".

"Just die and let me have everything besides it will be a great gift that you sacrifice yourself while protecting the kingdom". Guards do your job properly and eliminate her or else what I promised you will not be fulfilled, and the whole kingdom will know you all as a traitor.

Lai Zhang

"Like I told you, I would rather jump than be killed without knowing the real truth:
