The Box's Use

Yvonne turned toward the two consorts who laid unconscious on the ground.

"You can also get lost."

She stated then sent them two kicks, that propelled them in the air and threw them back into their respective palaces.

"Neat."

Konrad couldn't help but say as Yvonne now turned toward him.

"Follow me."

Yvonne turned heels, stepping back into her palace where she had her maids clean the aftermath and tend to the injured eunuchs. Then, with Konrad at her heels, she returned to her chambers.

The door closed behind him, and Yvonne spun to face him.

"Konrad, I assume you know the consequences of your actions."

"They may cost me my life."

Konrad straightforwardly replied.

"And still, you chose to obey. Would the empress be pleased by hearing this?"

"Her majesty would certainly not protect me in this matter. From now on, I can only rely on your grace."

Yvonne's lips curled into a mesmerizing smile.

"Boy, you're smart, but be careful that you end up outsmarting yourself."
