82 Elder Brother (1/2)

”Leave us!” Shen Hong barked to his audience as soon as Li Lian and General Feng left. They started to move but it was not fast enough for him. He grabbed a nearby lone sword and growled, ”I said move it!”
Startled, the generals began to move; pushing each other and trying to grab any available shawl to cover their private parts.
It seemed as if Yang Liu finally realised what she had done as she suddenly fell to the ground and began to sob, ”I didn't mean it!”
The dragon seethed, ”You will shut up!” He kicked the table nearby and jars of drinking water crashed on the floor knocking over some stacked towels which ripped through the hung curtains. ”Where is your respect? You dare act rowdy in my presence?”
”She made me do it,” she spoke through a rampant of tears flowing down her reddened cheeks.

”How so? She was with me.”
”She seduced General Feng! A palace maid belongs to the emperor.” Yang Liu used her sleeves to wipe her tears. ”Elder brother, you must believe me―”
”Yang Liu! I am your emperor, pay your respects!” He swung the sword, placing it precisely by her neck.
She screamed in bewilderment as she knew that with any move, her head would be rolling on the ground.
Shen Hong was aware of the rumor that something was going on between Li Lian and General Feng. Nothing new. Besides, if it was true he was not worried about the competition.
”Address me as your emperor!” He was greatly agitated. Yang Liu had to learn to respect him and to regard him formally just like everyone else.
”Elde… emp...” She stuttered, lost for words.
”Before being a brother, I am the dragon. You hear me?”
”Yeh…” Her whole body was shaking in trepidation; both aware that he was more than capable of having her killed.
”His Majesty hates me; oh, he hates me,” she sniffled, still trembling.
His cold voice mocked her, ”Emotional blackmail will not work.”
”His Majesty will kill this insignificant princess and… at least the world will get to know the truth,” she hiccuped over her tears, ” that this princess has no worth.”
Reverting back to her informality, she cried, ”Elder brother chose that floozy over me; protected her over his heartbroken sister.”
”Enough!”
”But it's true!” she yelled. ”You slapped that tramp to protect her!”
”Yang Liu.”
”Kill me for it but you protected her. You hate me. Oh, you hate me!” Her harrowing sobs echoing in the now empty room.
