I being no exceptionâ¦.
But that doesnât mean I will just step aside for a woman whoâs likely the result of State Teacherâs doing!
A flicker of light flashes in the womanâs iris as she curled that lip into a snarl, Dealing with such a woman will be easy. There will naturally be others to take charge in my steadâ¦.
â¦â¦
Tiger Clanâs residence.
Inside the place, a certain young maiden wearing a yellow skirt was in such a rush that she ended up missing the person in front of herself. As a result, the girl nearly bumped head first into the other side.
âJun Ruqing, what are you doing?â Squinting her eyes, she glares at the woman in front.
âHoho,â the pure woman whoâs known as Jun Ruqing raises a smirk, âI only came to inform you of one news. His Majesty is returning and is bringing a Queen and Prince along. I believe you have the right to know.â
The girl in the yellow skirt showed confusion at first but then quickly changed it to anger: âWhat do you mean by this?â
âMy meaning is very simple,â Jun Ruqing squints her eyes and scoffs a chuckle. âDo you feel its right for a human woman to be by His Majestyâs side? I heard that female is a real slut back in the human world, constantly hooking up with different males. From what I know, sheâs already had four men until now. But because of State Teacherâs word, Sire is convinced the woman is the most suitable for him.â
âSo⦠donât you think State Teacher is taking our king for a fool?â Jun Ruqingâs smile now deepened until itâs blinding to the eye for some reason.
âHumph, I will go see the woman for myself when King returns!â Biting her lip, the yellow skirt girl stabs her hands against the waist: âIâd like to see what sort of ability she has to be picked by His Majesty.â
â¦â¦
Inside the palace.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A strong ray of light explodes out of the alter set inside the center of this grand structure, shrouding the entire demon world with its brilliance.
âHail to the King, Queen and Crown Prince. Your subjects are here to welcome the royal familyâs return!â Those standing there all took to their knees upon seeing the manâs purplish figure and his two accompanying family members.
âThis one next to me is the future mistress of the Demon Realm, and she will be the only one!â Perhaps its due to fear of Bai Yan being intimidated by such a grand reception, but Di Cangâs hand had inexplicably tightened around the femaleâs.
Then again, there were no reason to because the ministers didnât object, only sharing a glance with each other like they expected as much.
âIn addition,â the sound of the manâs overbearing voice rises again in volume, âin this Demon Realm, the Queenâs word is law, followed second by my own. You must all respect her and listen to her command. If thereâs any violation then no forgiveness shall be given!â
Bai Yanâs heart trembled at that proclamation, her palm also tightening against the manâs hand in return.
In the past she couldnât get a sense of security that one would hope from a lifelong partner, but now, sheâs feeling it and its not such a bad thingâ¦.
Kingâs meaning is? It couldnât be, the Queenâs word is the rule and his own words is second fiddle? The ministers didnât expect this part from the man so strange looks of bewilderment were being shared among each other.
âSireâ¦â an old minister unsurely speaks up. âIf thereâs a conflict between your order and the Queenâs, who should we listen to?â
A chilly gaze shot over to him in that second, causing the old minister to leak out a layer of cold sweat. He knew his question was a mistake so he didnât dare to look up anymore.
