My Crippled Ex-Husband Is An Emperor

Task

“You summoned me, your highness,” the maid bowed.

“Liah, you know you are my most trusted aide, right?” Cedric straightened up.

“Yes, Your Highness,” the girl bowed.

“And your family promised that you would be there to fulfill whatever I desire of you, do you remember that?” He asked.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“You remember that I am the only one who stood firmly with your family during their times of trial when they were unjustly sentenced by the previous Emperor,” he reminded.

Liah couldn't help but look up this time. Why was he reminding her of that suddenly?

“Yes, your highness,” she answered nonetheless., swallowing back the questions that arose within her.

“Are you willing to do anything for me, no matter the cost?” He asked her. As much as she wanted to respond quickly, she couldn't.

There were a lot of things involved in that statement that didn't sit well with her. Sure, she could do whatever he asked her to do but there were limits to it and she intended to make it clear.
