The time had arrived finally for young Liu Shi to Venture out into the world of Chaos to join her father and grandfather in making a united kingdom under one banner, there banner. She decided to take a small detour on her way to join her father at the palace, as she wanted to enjoy her freedom before her father would set her countless tasks to complete. She began to ride along a small dirt road that lead down around the coast looking for a shipwreck that she believed would make a good hideaway spot, where she would be able to have a few hours peace before carrying on to the Capital and her father.
Her mount begins to come to a stop just across from the shipwreck it would seem there was a truth behind the tale after all maybe she could find some ghosts that haunt the decks, chance would be a fine thing, she then dismounts and walks up to the Wreck and runs her hand up and down the wooden frame. “Wow they were right the ship must have been a grand one when it was still out sailing the seas what I wouldn’t give to stand on ship like this when it’s on the seas, but i guess we all allowed to dream.

"Hum interesting, very interesting." Liu Biao said as he opened a chest peering into its depth as if seeking the answer to the ultimate questions of life and death. His old servant leaned into get a look excited about his what his lord might have found.
"A Zhao dynasty coin fascinating." He said stepping back holding up a single bronze coin which looked dented. The rest of the chest was empty. His servant gave him a dark look.
"Just one coin my lord, that wont pay to raise an army to save the emperor." He chided looking around the old cabin in the ship for anything else of value. It was a wreak all right bits and pieces thrown everywhere. Of course he told his lord scavengers would have long ago stolen anything of value but he would not listen. He was finding out why now this was more a relic hunt than a treasure hunt. He really did not care for such things but his lord it seemed did.
"One step at a time Xien." Liu Biao said pocketing the coin. it seemed to be the only thing of value in this room. He walked threw the gap where the door had been and back out onto deck. He took care where he stood the floor was missing and weakened badly in places. He immediately saw a young women down by the bottom of the ship. Strange to find someone else out here.
"Hey there what are you doing here?" He called out waving his right arm. His tone was just curious not rude he had no more right to be here than her after all.

Shi carried on running her hands over the hull of the ship unaware that she was not the only one out for a spot of sightseeing. It was no lie that there may be old Han relics hidden deep within the ship but she was not there to steel she was there to look around and trying to think of what the crew did in the last few days of their trip.
As she moved around to back of the old wreck, she could hear movements above her maybe bandits or the ghosts that were said to haunt the decks, but being the Daughter of Liu Fan she began to steady her weapon an till a voice echoed around the ship maybe it was a ghost after all, who else would be here at this time of day.
“I could ask you the same thing sir, im here to observe and study the last few moments of this ship’s crew trying to picture what happened for them to end up like this. Im not here to steal anything just to get a feel and put myself on the ship for the there last few moments. What are you doing here sir, the way you dressed leads me to believe you are Royal

Liu Biao traced a hand along the delicate railings as he walked carefully over toward her. Although he was much higher up where toward end of the ship rose along the uneven sand bank it was beached along. He watched her carefully taking in her own manner of dress and speech. It was clear from both that like him she came for at least a wealthy family he was guessing noble. In which case he might well know of her family he was affiliated with many and knew of many more. It came from too many long hours spent in statecraft as he planned his own kind of anti political intrigue.
He made a gesture for his elderly servant to stay out of sight. He could not be certain yet she was alone or meant him no harm. The old man was no use in a fight anyway so he may as well stay out of harm’s way.
“That’s a very worthy goal, I myself and here for similar reasons.” He said smiling as he sat down on the edge of the ship. He wondered if she wanted a hand up there was far more interesting things to be found inside.
“You are correct of course. I am Liu Jingsheng Imperial protector of Jing Zhou. Now you know my name perhaps you would do me the courtesy of telling me yours?” He inquired giving her a frank analytical stare. He guessed she was here on her own relic/thrill seeking. Probably without the knowledge of her father. He had done much the same himself when he was a youth.

Liu Shi smiled as the man began to walk towards her he seemed harmless he was kind of old anyhow, a lot like her grandfather Liu Yan so Liu Jingsheng could very well be a relic just like him. A small smile came to her face as the Thought passed her mind thinking weather she should tell him that he looks like a relic, or keep that little fact to herself. “O my I had no idea I was talking to someone of such high standing, I don’t know if I should bow to you are not my lord, but I don’t know you very-well yet and my father only told me to bow to people who bow to me a rule I intend to follow. However, you showed me the cutesy of giving me your name so I will give you mine.
I am Princess Liu Shi, my father is Liu Fan heir to the Yan familey, and im on my way to see him when I decided to stop and take a small rest because the trip is going to be long and hard and I do not like riding when im tired.She then begins to walk back to the front of the old ship, takes a seat on the floor and gives JingSheng a hand jester that was offering him a chance to sit down with her. If he was going to hurt her she could avoid it has he looks like a relic himself.

(lol i still got 10-20 years on old man Liu Yan)
"Thats quite alright its not like we are in a court hear. This is just a wrecked ship and we are just two explorers." He said sitting down by the side next to her. He did not look like he was edge but he was still nervous un sure if she could be trusted. He considered Liu Yan a potential friend or at least not an enemy. They were blood kin after all.
"I meet your grandfather at court once before this all started he was a fine man i thought at the time." He said deciding it would be best to be polite. Really he did not know much about the man they each had there own provinces to govern.

A smile passed Liu Shi lips as she saw the Elderly man sit down beside her granted he looked younger than her grandfather Liu Yan but to her they were both relics being she was only eighteen and still young. Her father could be a relic as well but you do not call your father something like that unless you wish to lose your bag of money.
She then pulls out a small rabbit from the pack beside her, and began to set up a small makeshift fire in order to grill the rabbit she may only be eighteen but she knows how to cook thanks to her father’s mother. She then places the rabbit on top and watches as the flames began to cook the rabbit. “Well I never have seen court to be honest my father was always coming and going but he found time to be with me, which was great after my mother ran away he was all I had left he still is the only person I care about. You know some people call my grandfather a relic of a forgotten time, but I like to believe he’s just in his prime

Liu Biao watched her carefully he had no reason to distrust Liu Yan he was a relative after all but at the same time he had no reason to trust him either. He had his own plans and idea's he just hoped they did not include Jing. He was more surprised to see she could cook, it was not a talent often seen in members of the royal family. Of course he had not tasted any so many it only looked like she could cook.
"You should ask your father to involved you in court affairs, if your his child and grand daughter of Liu Yan you should know how they province is run. There is no greater task or reward then to serve the people and the Emperor." He said before looking away to hide a smile. He personally suspected that Liu Yan had passed his best before date a long while ago. Rule of Yi would doubtless eventually fall to Liu Fan unless the Emperor granted his lands to Liu Bei.

“You make a valid point sir, after all if something happened to my father and my grandfather then I would become ruler and to be honest I don’t think im ready to have that much power in my hands at this moment in time. She then begins to flip the rabbit onto the other side as one side was cooked but the other was not. “Sir not to sound rude but when I saw you in that ship you reminded me of an old drunk my mother use to know, he was a relic of a lost age and I believe he found what he was looking for which was a blissful end. But tell me sir do you have any children of your own.” Liu Shi didn’t want to sound rude but she would like to learn all she can about this relic that is sitting beside her, it could come in handy encase she gets herself into trouble and her father is unable to help her.” So could you tell me the present state of my grandfathers region i have been away for many years and i have no idea of its Present state
