Chapter 1159 - The Golden Mark (1) (1/2)
“Your Highness, you’re back?” A seductive-looking woman swayed her hips as she walked to Long Yue’s side and placed one hand directly on his shoulders.
“Is there any news from the Grand Tutor?” Long Yue looked at the woman before him calmly and said while using his hands to touch her chin.
The woman laughed softly and replied, “the Grand Tutor is still in the palace with Your Majesty discussing about the matter of send the army to attack them and has not returned. But he had said that everything regarding the birthday banquet will be up to Your Highness to decide. Your Highness… the Grand Tutor indeed has placed his highest hopes on you.”
Long Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said after a moment of thinking, “I understand. Prepare some hot water for me, I want to take a bath.”
“Yes.” The woman took her leave well-behaved and immediately instructed the other people to prepare hot water.
Then Long Yue returned to his room. The woman tried to offer him help but was directly chased out by her.
The woman left and looked at the tightly shut room door with an embarra.s.sed look.
She was the dancer who was most doted on in Long Yue’s residence and had always been pampered by him most of the time. There was however, just an obstacle that she could not overcome.
That was his bath.
As the prince, Long Yue did not allow anyone to serve him while he was taking a bath. In fact, there was only him in the room. In the earlier years, before the woman had come to the residence, there was another favoured dancer who had acted on her own will. Relying on the pamper she had usually received, she pushed open the door when Long Yue was taking a bath. As a result, the woman died in the room and no one ever saw her trace again. Even her corpse was never found, and there was only a puddle of blood left in Long Yue’s room.
Ever since then, all the people in the residence never dared to cross the line again.
After hesitating for a while, the woman left Long Yue’s room in a well-behaved manner. However, she did not notice that there was a black figure flas.h.i.+ng across above the room and hiding in the darkness.
