Chapter 731 - Smooth Transition - Part 4 (1/2)
When the woman entered the throne hall, Tang Shaoyang observed her. He did not think this Florian was from prison because she was still in a beautiful white dress. She looked in her early twenties, and she had blushy colored hair, covering her back with long hair. Her countenance was paled, and her eyes were slightly red from crying.
Despite her age, her body had matured as he could see the big cleavage. As she got closer to the throne, she knelt, and the cleavage became even clearer in Tang Shaoyang's eyes. From her conversation with Larry and her action that purposely showed a part of her body, he got a clear understanding of what Princess Lorian wanted.
”Lorian greets, Your Majesty.” Her voice echoed through the throne hall as it was just her and Tang Shaoyang inside.
”Mnn, rise.” Tang Shaoyang responded. Lorian stood up and faced Tang Shaoyang with determination. 'At least, he is not the fat ugly bastard.' She thought to herself.
”I have heard about you from Larry, so what do you want from me?” Tang Shaoyang questioned the princess.
Plop!
Florian knelt with her two knees and placed her forehead on the golden carpet. ”Please spare my family! Please don't kill my brother's children! I will do anything you want for them!” Her voice echoed through the hall once more, louder this time.
She started to tell Tang Shaoyang a brief story about her only family. The two Princes did not have an official wife, but they had a mistress outside. Since her brothers were busy with the kingdom's affair, she had been looking for her nephew and niece, keeping them hidden from the other nobles and her father.
”Hah…” Tang Shaoyang let out a chuckle as this scene reminded him about Viona. She said the same thing, but their purpose was different. ”What makes you think that you have something? You have lost your Royal Family status, and you are no longer a Princess. What can you give to me?”
There was silence for a moment before Tang Shaoyang continued. ”Your body? Your body is no longer yours. You are a war prisoner, not that much different from that slave. So, what makes you think that you have something to give me?”
'Why doesn't she leave the Capital City quietly instead with her nephew after the King's death? Why did she let herself get captured?' Tang Shaoyang did not understand what Florian and Larry tried to achieve by doing this.
Larry tried to help Florian, meaning they had a close relationship. It should be easy for Larry to sneak out three children and a woman out of the city unnoticed instead of begging him. ”Also, what makes you think that you can keep your life? Isn't it normal for me to eradicate my enemy to their roots, so my enemy can't think of revenge?”
Florian was stoned on the floor as she was not expected to be killed. That was the last thing that crossed her mind. She remembered that Uncle Larry told her that the Emperor was good to his people and did not mistreat the prisoners.
”You are going back on your words!” Florian raised her head and looked at Tang Shaoyang angrily. ”You promised not to mistreat or kill the surrendered people. I surrendered, and you still want to kill me?”
