Playing with fire Part4

The dragon stared at Tang Yue for an entire minute, myriad emotions unnoticeably flickering through its eyes. However, after that short pause… the proud and arrogant beast unexpectedly did a completely 180.

"Empress! Great Empress!!! Please forgive my impudence!!! This humble servant has made a grave mistake. Please forgive me." 

The dragon started wailing loudly, all of its previous smugness completely erased out of existence. There wasn't even an ounce of pretense in its actions. 

It acted as if it had seriously committed an unforgivable sin and started banging its body against the tunnel once again. 

"I deserve to die for this foolishness, my Empress. I was your beast. I was your slave. But I dared to attack you." 

"Please, your highness. Please kill me with your own hand. Please bestow that mercy on this foolish slave."
