Chapter 938 - Displeasure
Chapter 938: Displeasure
She was the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai from the Saint Divine Land, not from the Feather Mulberry Land, so what she had done in the Feather Mulberry Land, including bringing down the Imperial Master, was a little annoying to the King. After all, he was the King who should be in charge of everything. He disliked it, when something went out of his control.
The Feather Mulberry Land, for the time being, was weakest in economy and military forces among the four countries. Therefore, the Feather Mulberry Land could not possibly start a war against Gu Chaoyan. Yet he still needed to showcase his imperial position.
In this way, he as the King of the Feather Mulberry Land was not showing a look of complete politeness, but a look of investigating. He was going to find out whether what she had said was real and whether what she had done was right.
Gu Chaoyan almost had a clear idea of what he was thinking, judging from the way the King behaved and looked.
The King was sizing up Gu Chaoyan carefully at this moment.
He had already heard the story from the officers from the Ministry of Personnel. He had not expected that the Imperial Master had been so brave as to irritate a woman with such a background.
She was the future Princess Consort of Lord Huai! So even if he was very unhappy about the situation, there was nothing he could do.
She had all the reason to be standing here and confronting him. Besides, the Feather Mulberry Land was a very weak country at the moment so they should not irritate a strong superpower like the Saint Divine Land. He was a King in his young and flourishing years, and he really wanted to be seated on the throne for a bit longer.
With these ideas in mind, the King of the Feather Mulberry Land did not start any conflict with this woman, but showed his attitude instead.
After he showed his attitude, the King of the Feather Mulberry Land said with a smile, “Here you are, Lady Chaoyan, please take a seat.”
The King sounded very nice, but Gu Chaoyan still, in accordance with the rules, greeted the King first before taking a seat.
Since she was engaged with Lord Huai, she did not have to kneel down in front of the King of the Feather Mulberry Land. She only needed to pass on a greeting of respect.
Well, that was also because the Saint Divine Land was the most powerful land among the four countries, and the imperial family of the Saint Divine Land was somewhat better-respected than that in other countries.
The Feather Mulberry Land was the weakest, so the imperial family of the Saint Divine Land was naturally more noble compared to those in the Feather Mulberry Land.
Seeing that she greeted him obediently, the King felt slightly better.
After hearing the story of what happened the day before, he already understood that this future Princess Consort of Lord Huai from the Saint Divine Land had a past with the Imperial Master and she had been all alone in dealing with the Imperial Master. Therefore, the King had assumed that Lady Chaoyan had not thought of him as an important figure of the King.
However, right now, she did not seem that rude.
When Gu Chaoyan took a seat, the King said, “Lady Chaoyan, I have already asked my officers from the Ministry of Personnel to look into what the Imperial Master has done. It is his fault.”
“…”
“The Imperial Master has been imprisoned, and as for how he should be punished, we will have to get the whole case sorted out clearly before a concrete punishment is presented. So I am just telling you how the whole thing will go.”
“…”
“Also…”
