BXBX NOVEL Chapter 557 - Jun Ruqing
Jun Ruqing literally shuddered at the news. Gently gripping those hands until its a tight ball, the fox woman felt like she’s been riddled with holes in the heart, thus causing immense pain for the soul.
“Don’t misunderstand me Mr. Guards, I’m only here to seek an audience with the Queen in order to pay my greetings. I have no other motive.” Though she’s managed to force a smile while saying this, the bitterness and sorrow inside could be read like a sheet of paper in those eyes.
Exchanging a helpless look with his peer, the leading guard speaks again: “Miss Ruqing, please don’t do this and go back. Maybe when the Queen is free, she will then summon you for an audience.”
A minute of painful silence: “I understand…”
However, just when the fox woman’s ready to leave after all this back and forth, that’s when she noticed the domineering and arrogant figure coming out of the White Moon Palace from the corner of that eye.
“Sire!” The two guards were shockingly horrified at the sight. Hurrying to step forward, they kneel in fear for what’s to come.
When did His Majesty go in?
Why didn’t we know?
These were the sorts of questions running through these poor fellas’ head at the moment.
“Mmm,” giving an indifferent nod in return, Di Cang’s tone sounded cool and somewhat fluttery. “Continue your watch, no one is allowed inside to disturb my wife.”
“Yes, Sire.”
Cold sweat still poured out of the two guards back; however, they are now ever so grateful to stand their ground in not letting their king inside earlier. Otherwise, who knows what sort of punishment would’ve befallen them.
Jun Ruqing on the other hand didn’t feel so fortunate though. Almost in a daze, she just stood there and listened in on the unbelievable conversation.
The one standing next to Sire should’ve been me!
If not for that prophecy from the State Teacher, then maybe… maybe I would’ve been Queen of the Demon Realm by now. This shouldn’t belong to a mere human woman!
The more she thought about this, the more painful it became for her soul. In a moment of stupid decisioning, she had the audacity to block off Di Cang’s path: “Greetings Your Majesty.”
Making an involuntary frown, the man’s voice was cruel and harsh: “Scram!”
Though the words were in every intent unkind, Jun Ruqing nevertheless accepted reality as so. She’s not someone who didn’t know the man’s personality so this came as no surprise.
“Sire, it was my godfather who asked me to visit the Queen, but Her Royal Highness isn’t allowing me to do so. I like to ask Sire to give me special permission for an audience.”
Finally taking the fox woman into his view, Di Cang’s lips transformed into a snarling grin of mockery: “Do you know how I got inside?”
Biting that dainty lip, the fox woman lowers her head and speaks: “I don’t know.”
“Look at the high wall surrounding the compound, I crawled through the dog hole over there.”
His words had absolutely left the guards gasping for air at the horrific revelation, Just now… Sire crawled through the dog hole in the wall? This…
