115 The Everlasting Stroke (1/2)
”Why are all of you looking at the floor? Is my face that scary?”
Trembling from listening to Bai Long's words, the twenty-three women who were scared of what would happen to next almost screamed from anxiety before understanding what it was that Bai Long said.
Sighing a little, the women one by one lifted their heads up and looked at Bai Long.
A few days back when they saw Bai Long behaving so arrogantly, they thought that his days inside the Zhu Kingdom were numbered.
And indeed they were, because the King seemed to kill him with his own hands. But instead of dying, the boy turned into a shadow and disappeared!
When that happened, the women thought that maybe they'd never meet Bai Long ever again.
However who thought that within such a short time they'd see him again, and this time he'd be sitting on the throne while they would be nothing more than prisoners who shouldn't even raise their voice if they wanted to live.
”How is it?”
Knowing what Bai Long meant, all of the women gulped in union and didn't dare say anything when one of them finally stepped forward.
”It isn't.. Your Majesty.”
”What isn't?”
”Your face.... It isn't scary.”
”Oh. Then why were you looking towards the floor instead of towards me? Are you scared of me?”
Seeing that smile on Bai Long's face, the woman shook her head and said with a smile, ”You aren't scary at all, your Majesty.”
”I'm not scary?”
Bai Long considered himself very handsome. But was there anything that said those who are handsome were all good?
As someone who aspired to be the biggest and baddest villain ever, how could Bai Long not want to be considered scary?
Especially by the women who were now his prisoners?
Closing her eyes and smiling more than ever by trying to look cute, the woman said, ”You're not.”
Hearing those words, the smile on Bai Long's face completely disappeared and in its place was a cold smile which sent shivers through the body of everyone inside the throne room.
”In that case, I should show you how scary I am!”
”Wha.…”
Before the woman who stepped forward could realize what was happening, Bai Long was right in front of her with his hand gripping her by the throat.
Using his other hand to destroy the shackles on her hand, Bai Long ignored her struggle and kept her in the air.
”What do you all think? Am I not scary?”
Nodding their heads with fear in their eyes, they were all so scared that no matter how much they tried no words came out of their mouths.
Enjoying this fear which prisoners like them were supposed to have, Bai Long spoke to the women whom Wenling had left behind.
”Take them all and keep them locked up.”
Nodding their heads while sharing the same fear as the King's wives, queens, and concubines, the two women who served Wenling didn't dare life their heads up until Bai Long's footsteps disappeared.
...
Leaving the throne room behind him, Bai Long made his way to where the King's room was because that was where the unconscious Zhu Zemin was at.
Entering the room, Bai Long finally released his grip over the woman whom he had held by the throat all along.
