"Why did you killed the empress, Jung An?" the judge asked.
"I've told you thousands of times. Why aren't you listening to me?" the man retorted.
"That's not the answer. You are standing here for more than a hundred years, because you did not answered my question."
"Do you really want to know?" Jung An asked.
"Indeed, I do."
"Then I shall speak! I killed her, because she wanted death!"
"Are you out of your mind? Do you think that's appropriate answer? I must question you again."
"No, I'm not lying! Ask the...people! The people who lived with her! With the great empress!"
"....."
"Death! Yes, death. The death itself, Yuan Shao! Ask him! Ask her husband! Her children! Her brothers! Her sisters!"
"Stop!" the judge ordered.
Suddenly, the door opened and Yuan Shao, the death entered, dressed in black. His face smiling happily.
"There! Yes, he is here. Ask death."
Yuan Shao opened his mouth and his warm beautiful voice filled up the room.
"I a cold and murderous thing, fell in love with her. I cannot forgot her, nor let her go, for I wanted her."
"That's not the point! Death? Love? Are we writing a novel? Answer the question with seriousness, Jung An."
"But that's right! She wanted death, and the death loved her. A thick and long lasting love!"
"Come on, why would a empress of a great country want death?" the judge asked.
"She wanted death because...she wanted freedom! She wanted to be free!"
"Free?"
"Yes, free! The only thing that she ever wanted! Her story, her life! You have to listen to it."
"Her life story?"
"Yes!"
The judge thought for a minute or two, before nodding his head.
"Then tell it. Why she wanted death."
The story begun, and the life of Cao Mengde, empress of the Chen country started.
