Little Xiao, Little Xue [ Part 5 ]

LDW

The scroll had the words inscribed in detail,
all the benefits which joining the Yun Nan force entailed
There is good pay, ranks, riches and protection offered,
and a note which says to put in anything else preferred.

There is freedom of speech, and protection from disgrace
There is equality of rights for man and woman of every race
"Here we will treasure your service and serve you as you serve
"Here you will gain everything you rightfully deserve."

"With all dear respect Lady Xiao," he added
"There is great danger in everyplace inhabited,
we only seek your loyalty, which we place highest among virtues
here we seek it, and when given, we give it back to you."


Little Lady Xiao laughed again, just like before
Having read an offer, she couldn't ask for more~
Little Lady Xiao could do nothing but agree
Finally a real chance, to set some hearts free~

Little Lady Xiao spoke; "Of loyalty and such, there is no problem."
"I only wish a guard or two, to work with in tandem~"
Little Lady Xiao added; "The safety my family, is all my heart's wish."
"Promise me that and nothing a task I cannot accomplish~"

Little Lady Xiao then gave a slight little pause
Keeping to herself, as if in eternal repose~
Little Lady Xiao tells; "I'll promise to tell you, friend from foe apart."
And the thief wonders now; "So, when can I start?"
