Chapter 74 - My little witch, I already accepted your request (2/2)

”...”

Not for me? Did I hear right?

I follow his gaze and look behind me. The soldiers who brought me here are kneeling on the floor. Their bodies are stiff. I can't see their expressions, but I can imagine it.

”500 lashes for men who treated her roughly.”

”...”

Some men shake once before going still again.

”Leave.”

In less than a minute, two of us are alone in the room. I purse my lips. I didn't expect that things would turn out like this. I underestimated his reactions and craziness. The previous Li Jun wouldn't send soldiers to catch me. Then, he wasn't a general and he probably couldn't send people through time.

Li Jun doesn't untie my hands. He keeps staring at me with a hardened jaw. I notice the dark circles around his eyes. He is wearing the same clothes that he wore yesterday. I feel a little bit guilty.

I bow my head a little. ”I am sorry for leaving without saying goodbye.”

”That's what you are sorry about?” His icy voice makes me shiver in fright.

I thought that I couldn't feel cold. I have been proven wrong. Gathering whatever left of my courage and pride, I meet his eyes. ”I don't remember doing anything wrong to you?”

His thin lips curl up. My shoulders tense up when I see him walking toward me. I can't feel pain, but that doesn't mean that I can't feel fear. This man seems so scary. He reminds me of Li Jun who used to wear a mask.

He bends down on one knee and lifts my chin with his finger. ”Do you know the punishment of a runaway concubine?”

For a while, my brain can't digest his words. Did that kiss really cause a problem in his relationship with that princess? ”That princess ran away?”

He pinches my chin hard. ”You ran away.”

”Excuse me?” I look at him with disbelief. ”Li Jun, is your IQ that low? Didn't you understand the situation? Your wife thought that you were gay. I said those things to save your reputation. When did I become your concubine?”

”All I know is that you took advantage of my body when I was asleep.” His face inches closer to mine. ”You conspired in a way that everyone saw what you did to me. You openly asked me whether I want you as my concubine. My little witch, I already accepted your request. How dare you run away after doing whatever you wanted?”
