Chapter 118: iv. Patience

"You want to what?" he didn't even hide his disappointment, he was scowling at her which should have scared her. 

But she knew he will never really hurt her, at least not unless they were in a play and not unless there was pleasure in return.

She pouted and poured a cup of tea, "I said I want to tour around. I am bored out of my wits just staying in the castle."

They were in the castle's garden surrounded by mazes. Because of it, she couldn't run away from him for fear she will just get lost in the maze.

Who knows if he let her get lost just for the sake of teaching her a lesson? His punishments were always so cruel.

"You know we can't tour around until after the auction. I have already explained this to you, my queen," he said in a tone that indicated he was running out of patience.

It made her smile, she knew the power she wield in him. Testing his patience is something she has learned to master.
