Chapter 62 - Unilateral Loan (1/2)

???? : Now you all understand how great my friend is to be helping these two -...alec and tyrant pave their way forward. I personally would have just let them rot in limbo, but that's just me. Honestly though, all this is LX's fault...???? By the way, this is not me being vengeful in any way - of which I have falsely been accused of in the past!...

This is based on facts! If she would have just lived with a little more...hmm, what is it? Brain cells, heart, soul, compassion, brain cells, comprehension, understanding and the list runs on - just endless...

The bottom line is, her insensitivity is the reason she is here today sooo...her fault!... Of course, there are other factors involved here and there, but my point is she could have avoided all this if she just had a little more to her personality????... And how do I know all this? It is because I am a ratified enlightened being ????, who certainly has more brain cells than a certai-...Oh, time's up? Haha sorry, I get sidetracked...Enjoy!***

After Lei Xing thought about it some more, she concluded that it was not a good idea to remain here after all.

So she resolved to wait for the Emperor to return from his meeting and then politely excuse herself once she made sure that the danger had retreated back to her lair.

The Imperial doctor returned shortly with her medication, which she drank and then guzzled down some more tea to get rid of the disgusting taste. Then she continued to sit there, waiting, glancing around the room to kill time and spent some scrutinizing the two maids who were just standing there.

After a long while of silence and staring off into space, her eyes started drooping and she began nodding off, courtesy of whatever was in that brew.

She yawned and looked towards the doors.

{...Why is he taking so long? Don't tell me they're fighting? Yeah, but even then it should be quick work, right? Just snap her neck and call it a day...I mean, I'm not saying he should kill his mother...Not that he would anyway, but -...}

She yawned again. The maids looked at her and one of them then said, ”Your highness, perhaps you should go to sleep first, the Emperor may be late.”

Lei Xing frowned.

{...Who the hell said I'm waiting for him?... Okay, maybe I am waiting for him but not it's for what you think, so get that thought out of your freaking head!!...}

Lei Xing yawned again.

{...Where the hell is he?... Maybe he's not coming back? True, maybe he loaned me the room for the night, a gentleman?...*scoff* even I don't believe that...You know, who even said this is his bedroom, maybe it's just a very luxurious guest room...Yeah, makes sense...*yawn*...

...I don't even care anymore...He could never show up again for all I care...Better still, he can take his mother and go jump off a cliff somewhere...*yawn* Actually that would be perfect...}

Lei Xing went to lie down and the maids came over to help her and tucked her in. She settled in nicely, eyes closed, ready to sail to dreamland.

She slightly opened her eyes and then frowned when she saw the two maids still standing there, ”You can leave now.”

The maids turned to her and explained, ”The Emperor instructed for us to watch over you.”

Lei Xing's pursed her lips.

{...So what, you're the security team?  I'm not going to jump out the window - actually where is the win-....Beside the point!...}

”I can't sleep with you both ”watching over me”...”

{...Do you know how creepy that is? Plus who knows if you're going to smother me while I sleep? -_-)...}

The two maids looked at each other with complicated expressions, further irritating Lei Xing who ended up raising her hoarse voice, ”Can you both just leave? You're all stressing me out! You can go outside and put your ears to the door and watch me from there for all I care, just leave!”

...Just leave me the hell alone, why is it so hard for people to just understand THAT?!!...}

The two maids were so startled they jumped, quickly bowed and fled. Lei Xing let out a breath and then started coughing a bit.

{...Now I want water...but if I call them back, they'd never leave...Forget it, I'll survive...}

Lei Xing sighed and just laid there staring at the ceiling, it seemed the sleepiness was gone now.
