Chapter 10: The Princess

The panting in the room gradually subsided as the woman's naked arms wrapped around the man's neck like a snake, a satisfied smile flashing across her sultry face as she whimpered, "Great King, you're wonderful." Whimpering, she nibbled lightly on his neck, the emptiness of many days filled.

 "There you go." Jericho's hand removed hers and mercilessly turned his face away, the brocade covers slipping away to reveal his robust chest.

 Knowing his temper, the woman wordlessly reached for her clothes and dressed quietly, never leaving a woman in his room overnight. Once dressed, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his body, letting out a deep, low sigh, "Great King, I will come back tomorrow to serve you." With that, she let go of him, got out of bed, put on her leather boots, put on her tunic, looked back reluctantly, and opened the door.

 Outside the door stood the Northern Courtyard's rightful royal consort, Yelu Nina, dressed in a gorgeous sable fur, with a round face and phoenix eyes, her eyes glittering with disdain, and a dozen or so maids of honor following behind her.

 "Your Highness!" The woman saluted her, a hint of fear in her voice.

 "Bud'er, be a little measured, the Great King has only just returned and you're pestering him, he hasn't eaten dinner yet."

 The woman called Bud'er hurriedly closed the door behind her and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is right, Bud'er won't dare to do so in the future." Saying that, she bowed with her hands around her chest to make amends, "Bud'er will leave first." Bowing, she took a few steps backward and left without looking back.

 "Great King, may I come in?" Yelena gently knocked on the door and asked gently.

 There was a silence in the room, and after a while, Yelu Huo's voice came out, "Come in." The tall figure stood neatly dressed in front of the desk in the room, picking up a short sword on the shelf next to the desk and wiping it carefully with a cloth.

 Yelu Nina opened the door and entered, bowing slightly at his back, "Great King, it is time for you to have your dinner."

 Yelu Nina turned around, it was the same Xiao Ning who had sparred with Xiao Long in Shangjing, Yelu Nina, the word Xun Ning, Xiao Long had not told him his real name, and he had not confessed his real name to him either.

 The rigid face flashed a trace of displeasure, but, immediately held back, the two thick eyebrows raised, not a trace of emotion in his voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, all put it down." The short sword in her hand was returned to its sheath, and she reached out to rest it on the shelf, watching the maids behind her put down a tray of things.

 "Great King has had a tiring journey, use your dinner and rest early." Seeing his displeasure, Yelena bowed knowingly and retired.

 "Your Highness won't stay and accompany me with dinner?" Yelu Huo pulled back a smile that seemed so unspoken.

 "It is not customary for the king to have a woman in his room; Bud is an exception, and I dare not linger." Yelena looked up at him haughtily, a subdued smile spreading across her face, "Nina might as well excuse herself." She turned around and walked out of the room, she was the Northern Courtyard Crown Princess, she had done her duty, whether he liked it or not was his business, as the Great King, how many women he wanted was his business, she could not sway him.

 "All of you go down." With a wave of his hand, Yelu Huoge coaxed the maids of honor out, the look on his face was one of extreme displeasure.

 "Yes." The maids of honor were so frightened that they hurriedly saluted and exited his room, who would have the guts to face a great king whose body was filled with anger.

 Yelu Huo walked to the table and sat down, looking at the table full of delicious food, his heart remembered the incident in the Shangjing Tavern again, his fist slammed heavily on the tabletop, shaking the plate and making it jump.

 "Long Ling, I will definitely find you." He gritted his teeth, "The one who dares to drug me, Yelu Huo, has yet to be born."

 He had forgotten that Xiao Long had already drugged him, and if he had recognized him as Yelu Huo, perhaps his life would have been lost.

 It's just that people's encounters are so strange, the first encounter in Shangjing was just the first act between their melodrama.
