Hearing her words, The head maid clasped her hands in her direction, "Your imperial majesty, such secrets shouldn't be shared with a lowly palace maid like me. I still value my life."
"You are not a mere palace maid but my savior, and I won't tell on you. As long as you don't say a word and I keep quiet, who would know what was said tonight? And you can stop referring to me with that tediously long title. Treat me causally like you would treat a friend or a sister," she said to the head maid, showing her a gentle smile.
Suddenly, the door to her chambers was forced open, and a tall figure barged in. The eyes of the two women were naturally drawn to the rude intruder.
When she saw who it was, the head maid hurried to bow to him, but she was stopped.
"Be at ease. The divine healers of the medicine valley are exempt from kneeling to the members of the imperial family. As you are one yourself, you don't need to kneel to us whenever you see us."
Who could dare to call himself "us" in the imperial ground except for that person?
It was precisely the emperor who had barged into the room.
As he represented not only himself but also the empire and its people, words such as "we" and "us" were used to refer to him.
"As you command, your imperial highness." The head maid smiled her acquiescence.
Who wouldn't enjoy special privileges? She might be a divine healer with high medical ethics, but she was human in the end. The strongest man in the world had told her not to bow in his presence. How could she not feel happy?
The emperor's brow wrinkled, seeing that the head maid was still standing there like a fool. "Leave us alone," he said thickly.
His anger could be felt through his voice, and the head maid, not wanting to become the target of his ire, dashed out of the room and joined the rest of the maids.
Who didn't know how much the emperor valued being alone with his queen and how much the emperor hated someone interrupting his time with his wife?!
The emperor flicked his sleeve, and the door was closed shut and locked. He breezed through the room and dropped to one knee when he reached next to the queen.
The strongest man in the world was on his knee because of a woman!!!
This was such a shocking sight that if anyone were to see it, their eyes would pop out of their sockets!
Her heart also moved. This stinky man was annoying but also quite romantic. He knew what to do to make her feel like a shy maiden and fall in love with him all over again.
However, she didn't let that show on her face.
When she saw him, she voiced out a complaint "That was so not nice of you. You could have told her off gently."
"I was too excited to mind my manner." The emperor said as he grabbed her hands. He was hot like the Sun; she was cold like a snowflake. The warmth traveling through his hands instantly warmed her. "It's been so long since we were last together."
He looked into her eyes with intense love.
He was acting like they hadn't seen each other for years.
"Who are you fooling?" The Queen smacked his head, but she was quite gentle with her action. The emperor barely felt anything, as if an ant had kicked him. "We spent an entire night together just yesterday!"
"Did we? Why don't I remember?" The emperor acted innocent as his naughty hands wandered all over her body, caressing her gently. "What did we do yesterday?"
At his question, the Queen's face reddened so much that it was like a steaming crab. She had thin skin, and it was impossible for her to say how she was bullied last night. She smacked his hands away and pouted, but her strength was really too weak, and the expression she made just aroused him more. His hands found their way back to her waist again.
"You only know how to bully me." she said, "Last time, you punished me in front of your officials, and now you are behaving so childishly."
"You know I can't bear to harm you. I confined you to the western palace and forbade others from visiting you so that you won't be plotted against until your eyes heal." the emperor said.
The queen sneered, refusing to believe him. "Your purpose can't possibly be that pure."
"You know me the best. I admit I had another purpose besides seeing you heal in peace." the emperor opened up to her. He leaned close to her and whispered, "And that's to accompany you every night until your sight returns."
He was kneeling, but because he was too tall and the queen was sitting, their eyes locked.
His eyes were flowing with love and her eyes sparkled with tenderness and gentleness.
Her heart tightened as she felt loved. The queen gulped, hearing his words.
For a moment, she forgot how she was bullied yesterday and the night before that, and the night before that night!
Ever since her eyes got damaged, there hadn't been a single night where she slept peacefully.
Every night he would seduce her to play in bed with him until sunrise.
"Perverted man, you really good at bewitching young girls. I am already used to your tricks, or else I would have taken my heart out to let you see how much I love you." The queen playfully pushed his face away from her.
The emperor grabbed her arm and placed kisses on her wrist and palm, seducing her like a fox.
The person who was supposedly trying her best not to fall for his charms was seduced again.
He was irresistible.
She was picked up and placed on the bed. Her long black hair spread out beneath her. He loomed over her like a hungry beast, casting a shadow on her. He resisted his primal urges and, like a gentleman, helped her accept him.
The maids of the western residence of the imperial ground blushed as they heard the moans and groans of their masters.
P.S: Back to the main pov in the .
The emperor's look will be described when he becomes relevant to the story.
For now, you may take him as a wife slave Lolol!
