Chapter 6: I'm a Mastermind:

Lord Qin's POV:

My name is Lord Qin, and I am the Lord of Qui Gong.

Guards: All hail
All hail
That wonderful man has come to town
A fellow fit to carry the crown
He's rising up, we're bowing down
That very extraordinary
Lord Qin

Lord Qin: An accent on the Lord!

Guards: Lord Qin

Lord Qin: That's better.

For many years, I have sat on the throne
I love this kingdom that is my own
But now I feel a sense of envy
Because there's someone more popular than me

I do not feel very fine
I can't get this feeling out of my mind
I feel like I've been burnt
Ever since I have learned
But I plan to have all the respect returned

Welcome to the Kingdom of Qui Gong
You may think I am going overboard
But I will use what I can afford
I'm a mastermind, I'm the Lord

Guards: He's a mastermind, he's the Lord

Lord Qin: Now, there is a reason for my woe
It's because of some average joe
A woman who disguised herself as a man

Guard-1: She fought a witch
Guard-2: She saved two kingdoms
Guards: And her fame is making us look dumb

Lord Qin: And so, it's a change of plans
She'll marry my oldest son today
Now, let me hear the people say...

Citizens: Welcome to the Kingdom of Qui Gong

Lord Qin: That's the spirit, Boys.

And they sing even though they're poor
It makes me so happy
I will use what I can afford

Guards: He's a mastermind
Lord Qin: I'm a mastermind
Guards: He's a mastermind
Lord Qin: Because I'm the Lord

Guards: Because he's the Lord
He's the Lord, he's the Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord!

"So, we're not going to marry off your sons to the Princess?"

"That was the plan, but I have decided if this Hua Mulan's going to be more popular than me, then she's going to marry my oldest son," I said, "there is one problem."

"Is it the fact that Mulan's engaged?"

"I was just thinking about the fact that she might be old enough to be the mother of my son," I said, "wait, what was that about her being engaged?"

"That's what some are talking about."

"And when did this happen," I asked.

"Earlier today."

"Wow, news travels fast. Regardless, nothing is going to ruin my plan," I said, "I will have the hero of two kingdoms as my daughter-in-law!"

"But what about the princesses?"

"I do still have other sons," I said, "and besides, they'll probably fall in love with some brave heroes or something. It's what princesses do."

Nichang's POV:

"Bai Tza desires the tears of those princesses," says Lord Shen Du, "you must ruin their marriage."

The question is, how am I going to do that? Then I remembered something...

Nichang's POV - Flashback:

"Remember us? We're the guys who annoyed you at that diner, singing about wanting to find a girl!"

Nichang's POV - Present:

I might have found my answer!
