Gu Ri heard her mocking voice behind him and grew even unhappier. Because he had grown up surrounded by servants and yes men, his social life and conversations had been limited to giving orders. Gu Ri wasn't exactly the brightest mind in the room, so he wasn't one that could easily pick up sarcasm in conversations, but even he could see that every word the woman spoke was dripping with acrid humor. Her words struck his ego and filled him with disdain the way lightning strikes the earth and fills it with electrons during a thunder storm. It wasn't Gu Ri's finest moment at all. Gu Ri wasn't used to being made fun of, especially by women. In fact it was the exact opposite back home where he was constantly adored and fawned over by beautiful sophisticated maidens who frequented the royal court.
