Dorothy stared at Laquan and he also stared back at her. "Whose fault is this one?"she asks. "Yours. If you hadn't delayed us,we would have.." "No. It was yours. If you hadn't been a scholar,we.." "Nope. It was purely yours. If you hadn't said that.." "It was your fault for being so dense." "No. You were the one being too rash with your decision." They accused themselves. They were both in the palace's prison. "If we had left home earlier,the palace messengers wouldn't have found us at home. Your gluttony self implicated us here."Laquan expounded. "If you hadn't been a scholar, would the emperor have noticed you?. Would he have sent guards to the house?"she attacked him back. "If you hadn't get out of the house and talk to the guards brazenly,then we wouldn't have been attached to the crime of not obeying or being rude to the emperor."he snorted. "Well,if you had addressed them a little earlier, would I have done that."she tsk'ed. They both remained quiet. Dorothy curled
Laquan was led to the inner palace. The emperor was seated on his throne,as usual. A strong air surrounds him. Laquan's heart skipped a beat. The look on the emperor's face wasn't at all nice. The captain bowed to him before leaving. Laquan inhaled a sharp breath in,before greeting him. "Greetings,your majesty. I hope your night is going smoothly."he gulped hard. "Raise your head."the emperor commanded. Laquan bat his lashes, fastly. Is it possible that the princesses told him about what he did?. Well,he might as well tell him that was a test. He looked up at him. "Scholar Kim,"the emperor called. His eyes were scanning Laquan. "Your Majesty. I.." "I don't need any word from you."he cut him off, gruffly. *Damn. Kim,I am sorry. It seems your end is here.*Quan apologized inwardly. He lowered his gaze. "Actually,I brought you here for a reason. I want you to be plain with me."the emperor stated. "Sure,your majesty."Quan bowed. "I heard there are news going on around
The silence of the room turns Laquan off. Does he not accept?. Holy crap. "Just that one action would solve that?"the emperor finally spoke up. "Your majesty,a single drop of a cube of sugar could change the taste of a tea forever." The emperor scoffed before adjusting his robe. "Also,Your Majesty. You might consider rectifying the things that the people do not like too. This is just my humble advice,your majesty." "They don't want me on this seat! Are you saying I step down?!!!"his loud voice resounded in the whole room. "Ei?! Your Majesty,I have never heard of such! You're a benevolent ruler that has the wants of his people in his heart. Oh,bad reality,bad reality. People can't differ evil from good!"Laquan shook his head, vigorously. He casted the emperor a look with his left eye. *You might as well step down.*he thought. "Good words, scholar Kim. However,I will only release him if he shows obeisance." Quan rubbed the temple of his neck. "What?. You think I'm being unre
Laquan, Dorothy and the man who said his name was Maxwell all moved out of the palace. After having a ridiculous conversation with the emperor about Dorothy becoming his concubine, Laquan was more than angry. He has managed to convince him though,that getting a new wife,a lady of a younger age, could get tongues wagging again. "What a playboy."Dorothy scoffed. They were miles away from the palace now. Laquan had told her about what the emperor said. "It's such a preposterous move. It seems immoral too. He want me to be his son in-law,then I would be his brother in-law also?. What the hell?. He couldn't be more insane."Laquan uttered, derogatorily. "I have known him to be a sly fox from the start. By the way,why are you guys against him?. You're not pure Edinburghian,as i can see."Maxwell chipped in and casted them stares. "Our uncle,Kai,he is the reason. He was an eunuch to the late emperor. He also saved the crown prince with his life."Laquan deplored. "He saved the crown pri
"I am using my right to remain silent."F9 repeated for the 100th time. The detectives has been questioning him for almost an hour now but he was only laying emphasis on his right to remain silent. "Should I go in there and punch out his eyes?"Lucas groaned. "He is only exercising his right."Dora stated. They were observing the investigation from the computers outside the room. She stared up at the glassy window and saw him smirking. His mouth started to move. Dora stared back at the computer so as to hear what he was saying. "I have called my lawyer. He would soon be here. You can talk to him when he comes."he said. "If we'd investigated him ourselves,do you think he would still have the strength to be uttering those nonsense words?!"Oscar flared up. "There's another way to get him to talk."Dora uttered. "First,does he have any relatives?. Every man's weakness is his family. Second,we tell him we would release him should he tell us the truth."she expounded. Lucas scoffed.
"Look at this fvcking cheat."she scoffed, staring at him scratch out his skin out of its life. "You just got a plus one to your crime now. You killed one and injured two."she said. She stood up and walked around him. "Do you know that compared to the air in prison, this is nothing but zero?. Now,reason it. You might be granted fifteen years imprisonment or,if the judge is a humanist,he might reduce it to fourteen years for you. You're going to be spending fourteen years in a prison with high temperature. I doubt you would survive a month."she stopped by her chair. "Oh,what am I saying?. That fifteen years is only for your crime of being a druggie. For your attempted murder on Laquan and the murder cases for the other men, you're getting killed. That means.."she traced her fingers on the table till it stopped before him. "You're going to feel the grace in jail for fifteen years before you eventually get killed."she chuckled. "O..p.. please..I..I only take drugs..I don't dea
Teodora drove inside the garage in the hospital. She checked the time on her phone. "5:41pm. It's almost time for dinner. I guess I would be eating for three in one tonight."she stated. She glanced back at the men. "You guys aren't getting off?"she perked her eyebrows up at them. They exchanged looks before turning back to her. "You were totally awesome today."Oscar gave her a thumbs up then got out of the car. Dora scoffed. She looked at Lucas who only rolled his eyes and stepped out. She hopped out and locked the door. They went to check up on Laquan and found Britney in his ward room. "Miss Britney!"Oscar beamed. "Huh?. Hii,Oscar. I heard you were badly injured too. Can you move around like that?"she asked. "I am totally fine."he replied. "This is..?"Dora asked. "Oh,Miss Britney,meet Miss Dora and vice versa."he gestured. "That's not how to do introduction,you dummy."Dora scoffed. "Oh. This is miss Dora,the granddaughter of the friend of Mr Montessori who is Boss's
.. "Fire?"Dorothy and Laquan reiterated. "Hm. They've started cursing at the emperor. We didn't know you guys have been released. Oh,geez. If only we've exercised a little more patience. They didn't make any move all these while because they didn't want to act rashly."Christine explained, clearly. "God! Christine,is that what you meant by throwing fire?!"Dorothy yelled. "My lady,I apologize if I made you believed it in a wrong way. Cursing the emperor in front of his palace is the same as throwing fire at him since they're both instruments that could.." "Christine!!!"Dorothy screamed. "Damnnn! I almost lost my heart! Hurry and go tell them we are here."she added. "Alright,my lady."she ran back. Laquan sighed. "I am so tired. If not,I would have go to them instead."he muttered. "Me too."Dorothy agreed. "All I need right now is a glass of soju."she breathed out. ... Next Day. .. "I will send some of my boys to go to the east side to search for His Highness."Maxwell informe
