Chapter 326 (2/2)

What did he say? Lady Monique leaving the palace? With whose permission?

What the heck is she thinking of right now? She spent her whole life preparing to join the imperial family, then she would leave the palace without any complaint? Does this make sense?

I huffed and puffed for some time, then twisted my mouth when something suddenly came to my mind.

Oh, don’t you want to sleep with me anymore because you can’t get pregnant? In other words, you don’t want to be humiliated by allowing your noble body to be touched by me who has a commoner’s blood? Is that what you mean?

I suddenly recalled her indifferent look, her calm eyes and high-handed attitude that implied that I was nothing, compared to her.

I once again felt a surge of anger rising deep down. Calming down my surging anger, I told the marquis to go home and keep a low profile. I didn’t want to see the same silver hair as the concubine, his daughter.

I felt bad, watching her begging me, with her head down.

Didn’t you always act as if you were superior to me? Didn’t you look down on even me, the ruler of the empire? Then, how come you are so servile to me? Where is your high-handed pride and arrogance?

I twisted my mouth, feeling more and more disgusted with her submissive attitude. When I saw her kneeling and touching her forehead on the ground, I felt so crappy.

Hey, are you such a cheap woman? How could you be so arrogant and rub me the wrong way?

I felt like I was floating in the air. Am I now living in the real world now? How could she, with the blood of the noble family and praised all the time as the perfect candidate for the empress, lie with her face down, begging for her father’s life?

I laughed like crazy for a long time. I just thought this unrealistic situation was so funny.

She was still lying face down on the cold ground without moving a bit. I was going to tell her to raise her body, but stopped. I twisted my mouth at the sight of her jewelry hairpin with silver hair.

What the heck are you doing now? Didn’t you always wear the tiara as if to show your status? Are you wearing that hairpin to get out of the imperial family like your father said? That’s why you are dressed like that?”

At that moment, I lost my temper.

How can you dare reject me? Do you hate touching me because I have a commoner’s blood?

I breathed hard.

Don’t be ridiculous! No matter how much you pretend to be noble and pure, you are the emperor’s woman. As long as I wear the emperor’s crown, you should sleep with me without any complaint even if a commoner’s blood runs through my body.

I was satisfied with her getting embarrassed when I told her to please me during sex. Of course, you would say you couldn’t do it because as the concubine, you could not act like a vulgar woman, asking me to honor your opinion.

But the woman who was trembling before me undressed herself without any resistance. Then she smiled faintly at me, who was watching her, dumbfounded.

I hurriedly turned my head for fear I might feel depressed somehow. But I could not get her smile out of my mind.

Unlike the last time she stiffened at my sexual move, she was more active this time, which I felt rather unfamiliar. Her quivering eyelashes, her tightly closed eyes, and her half-open lips due to her rough breathing, were so different from her defensive posture last time. When she caressed my body with her soft hands, she seemed to be a real girl, not a doll without any emotions.

I instantly thought of getting angry with her by asking where her pride was, but left my body to her instead. This time I hugged her who was rather warm this time, compared to her stiff body last time. In no time my pent-up anger in my heart began to melt away.

At that moment I opened my eyes wide at her voice, suddenly waking from a sexual pleasure. She already changed into new clothes and looked at me with an indifferent expression. I made a hollow smile at her lackluster eyes and flat voice, as usual.

What did I expect from her? She just faithfully carried out my order to get what she wanted. Just like she put pressure on me to sleep with her with the goal of giving birth to a baby boy, the future crown prince, she allowed me to have sex with her to leave the Imperial Palace.
