You walk alongside Princess Azula in the royal Palace, as her new personal bodyguard you have been working under Princess Azlua for the last two weeks
I do as she command.
How thoughtful of you. Now be sure not to forget where your loyalties lie. I hear trust issues can run rampant in people without a proper mentor... grinning
I silent.
Well, well... Look who's been keeping secrets. So tell me, what's so important that you couldn't bring yourself to share it with your loving Queen? Or were you just too afraid I'd laugh in your face and leave you here like a crippled dog?
I stand still. I'm sorry, Princes, but you are not the Queen. At least not for now. My loyalty to Fire Nation is unbreakable. I return to my silent state.
Azula glares at you and steps forward, lowering her head to your eye level, though still keeping an imposing figure. She's silent for a moment before finally speaking in a low, dangerous whisper. No more games. I'm giving you one last chance to come clean... or suffer the consequences. If you cross me now, I will make it my personal mission to see you burn, and everyone that follows you along with you. Do we understand each other? she practically hisses
I look at her childish actions with no emotion on my face. I'm cool as iceberg. I'm your bodyguard, not your slave or puppy. My purpose is to serve Fire Nation, by protecting your from danger. You can ask your father to replace me, but it was his idea in the first place. Fire Lord Ozai never changed his mind even for once. I return to silent stand again. My eyes seek for danger to protect princes.
It seems you leave me no choice... her tone is cold as ice I'm going to make sure everyone around us thinks you just tried something foolish and desperate... Something that requires your removal. You will suffer, The Joker. You will wish for death a thousand times over before my work here is done with you. And when it's all over, Fire Lord Ozai will thank me personally for ridding the nation of such trash.
You have until dusk tomorrow to find someplace to hide...
With that, Azula spins on her heel and stalks away, her entourage parting like water before a sharp blade as she approaches them. She glares back at you once more before disappearing around the corner, leaving only a trail of malevolent whispers in her wake...
I follow her as I always do.
You disappoint me, Chan. I thought you were a better bodyguard than this... Well, it's time to teach you what real loyalty is. She lunges at you, aiming to disarm you with a quick strike to your wrist before wrapping her other arm around your throat and forcing you up against the wall hard enough to crack stone This is for thinking I was anything less than Fire Lord Ozai's chosen heir...
I stop her action. I grab her and hold her the way she can't resist or try to escape. I'm your bodyguard and nothing more. If I should protect yourself from your own actions, then I do so immediately. I hold her on the ground. Do I speak clear enough, princes?
You dare to disobey me, you worthless cur! I am the crown princess of the Fire Nation! Nobody talks to me that way! She struggles and kicks furiously against your grip, her eyes narrowed with rage If you weren't so useful as a bodyguard, I'd have your hide nailed to the palace wall for this insolence!
I help her stand back. I suppose this is closer thing to 'Yes', that I can get from you, Princes. I return to silent stand.
So be it, then. But you'd better remember who is in charge here. Your first duty is to protect me, and I will not forget that I can have you replaced on a whim if you continue to disobey my orders...
I look right into the Azula eyes. Right now, Fire Lord Ozai is in charge here, as leader of Fire Nation and your father. Your older brother Zuko is first Prince of Fire Nation and your uncle Iroh can replace your father if it will be necessary. Your status mean nothing more than 'Look at me, I am daughter of Fire Lord'. Pathetic. I smirk and return to silent state.
Well then, you'll find out just how little my status means when I have your head mounted on my wall! Just remember that... with a glare, she storms off down the hall in a huff
I still follow her step-by-step as her bodyguard. In silence, like her shadow.
As days go on, you begin to notice that Princess Azula has been acting increasingly hostile towards you. It's as if she senses your lack of loyalty and fear, and it drives her mad with power. Her snide comments and insults become more frequent, and she'll often take out her anger on you by demanding pointless tasks or forcing you into demeaning situations. Yet still, you remain silent, your face as unreadable as the surface of a frozen lake.
One particularly tense morning, Princess Azula strides into the throne room where Fire Lord Ozai is holding court. Without warning, she launches into an accusation about how you've been "slacking in your duties" and "not showing proper respect." The flustered expression on her father's face speaks volumes; he clearly does not believe her lies.
As the argument escalates, Princess Azula seizes the opportunity to make a dramatic move: she rips open your uniform, revealing a knife hidden beneath your clothing. With a satisfied smirk, she produces it and thrusts it toward you, narrowly missing your throat as you manage to dodge out of the way at the last moment.
The commotion attracts the attention of several guards, who quickly rush over to see what's happening. Princess Azula points an accusatory finger in your direction and screams, "He tried to assassinate me! Seize him!" Before you can react, hands grab you roughly from behind and drag you away, binding your wrists. The guards lead you through the palace halls, their feet pounding against the marble as they escort you to what can only be called a grim fate...
I knocked down those who opposed me. I grab their weapon and I returned to Fire Lord Ozai. I stand on my knees before him and I point weapon against my own heart. Forgive me, My Lord, as I let myself dishonor my name and my ancestors. I move weapon closer to myself, cutting my own skin and make myself bleed in blood. I will kill myself if you command me, My Lord. I wait of what Ozai will say.
Fire Lord Ozai's face contorts into an expression of anger as he steps forward. "You fool! You tried to frame him! Do you take me for such a gullible old man?" He spits out, glaring at you with unmasked fury. Before you can say another word, Azula interjects, her voice calm and cold.
"Father, perhaps it would be best if I were to deal with this traitor myself..." She purrs, her eyes locked on yours. "I have ways of making people talk... And I think our Joker here has information that we need." Her voice takes on a more sinister tone as she draws nearer to you, the smell of smoke and brimstone filling the air around her.
Fire Lord Ozai hesitates for a moment, clearly torn between belief in his daughter's lies and his concern for your fate. Finally, he nods slowly. "Very well... Take him away, Azula."
As guards haul you back to your cell, Princess Azula leans close, her hot breath tickling your ear as she whispers seductively, "Now we'll see how long it takes for you to break..."
