"To the Imperial Court!""Certainly!"
Since Jungkook had made a command, no one wanted to waste any more time. The horse made a long hiss and off to the Imperial Court it went.
The crisp sound of the wheels turning continued for awhile before it slowly faded away.
Now that the horse carriage was no longer in sight, Lisa's uneasy heart could finally relax.
After releasing a loud sigh, Lisa took out her hand to wipe off the sweats on her forehead. She felt lucky.
According to Xiao Mu Zi, when the King of Hell was at the Imperial Court, she was free to do her own thing.
That was because there were already four Imperial guards protecting Prince Gukk when he was at the Imperial Court. By the time the Prince returned, it would be after sunset. So, as the Prince's personalized eunuch, she only had to serve him in the morning and at night.
Thinking of this, Lisa replaced her anxious face with a smile.
But the moment she turned around, she was faced with the enraged face of the chief manager. Lisa's heart instantly thumped. She knew her bad luck was not yet over.
"Xiao Li Zi, you sure have a lot of nerves!"
The chief manager squealed in his duck-like voice. It was piercing to the ears, and his stern tone gave her shivers.
"Eh...."
She knew the old eunuch was already steaming from anger a while ago. Although she wanted to protest, she was currently living underneath someone else's roof. So she had no choice but to bow down.
It looked like she wouldn't be able to avoid getting spanked by the rod this time.
Lisa's heart was howling in grief. The chief manager wouldn't stop lecturing her.
His horrible sharp voice wouldn't stop buzzing in her ears. In addition, the chief manager was spraying his saliva all over her face as he spoke. She was so grossed out.
The chief manager wouldn't stop. By now, Lisa had lost track of time. Her legs were numb from standing and she had forgotten how many times she had given respect to the old eunuch's ancestors in her mind.
Perhaps, the chief manager was finally tired. He paused for a moment. Then, he gave Lisa a killer glare as he squealed, "Xiao Li Zi, do you admit you're wrong!?"
"Yes. This servant knows he is wrong!" Psssh as if!
Could the chief manager be a practitioner of some qigong (breathing exercises)? He was still talking. Perhaps he wasn't tired, but she was done standing.
So the minute the chief manager asked her the question, Lisa nodded like a garlic being pound. She just wanted to get it over with.
Spank me with the rod! Stop talking so much shit!
Lisa thought to herself. She had already mentally prepared for the spanking anyway.
At least, after she gets spanked, she could use the injury as an excuse as to why she couldn't serve the Prince. Then, she no longer had to see the King of Hell! What a brilliant plan!
The King of Hell's personality was too unstable and unpredictable. She would rather be spanked than to see him.
But the chief manager could naturally see through Lisa's thoughts.
Based on the earlier incident, if it were anyone else, he would have definitely spanked the eunuch.
But unfortunately, if he spanked Lisa, there wouldn't be a last minute replacement to take his place. After all, there were way too many horrifying rumours about the Prince.
