The day of the appointed punishment have arrived.
Every official known in the kingdom have to witness the sadistic side of the empress.
All the ebony that the other kingdom sent for proposal of treaty or disapproval of governing issues are all horrified by the sight.
The one who's bringing the negative news almost peed their pants when they saw the sight of the empress and the emperor in the throne room with 2 wolves and 5 lions chilling just right beside the royals.
And as soon as the sun hits noon the two culprits were brought inside and the guards form a human corral so the two can't escape.
"Let me go!"
"Take your filthy hands off me!"
"Your majesty please believe me I didn't do it!"
"Your majesty spare me!"
"Hush now..." Kim Li silenced them and everyone's attention is on her not that it wasn't to begin with..
"Now, the both of you knew what deeds you've done. Now for the punishment." Kim Li smiled childishly that sent shivers to the onlookers
"And since you like playing with my new tamed pets I'll let you play with them for about an hour or so.." she said gesturing the lions for them to step forward.
" Your majesty please don't be bewitched by that woman! I love you your majesty please save me!" Jen Sho pleaded that only made Kim Li annoyed
As the lions are in a sitting position not even minding them as they lick their paws clean and she have the nerve to say for her to be saved..
"Oh? You didn't know? Since the day his majesty realized your too good to be true facade, he shifted his eyes on me... isn't that right dear husband?" Kim Li graced the back of her hand on Li Cheng's face making him slightly look at her.
And he looked bewildered while falling for her act of seduction.
"Isn't that right my dear husband?" She repeated while raising her eyebrows and touching his lips while smiling genuinely as she close the distance of their faces.
Making the ones knew her other side cringe...while Li Cheng felt over the moon with her sweet charms
"...yes." He answered out of character as he also try to close the gap for their lips to meet
"No!"
"Your highness! Please you said you love me!"
"You said that I'm the only one you'll love !"
But that just went to deaf ears as Li Cheng was focused at Kim Li's cherry lips.
But Kim Li miss direct his face as she kiss his cheeks "Don't get your thoughts too far a head your highness, your decisions still doesn't make me happy" she whispered as she teased him
She suddenly part their face while smiling sweetly.
"Oh.. sweetie I pity you, you believed with such promises when you throw away his trust and affection..." she eyed her sharply
"Now lets give your punishment and get this over with." Kim Li excitedly said
"You can do whatever you want my empress" Li Cheng affectionately said taking her hand and kissing and securing it by intertwining their hands .
Kim Li was shock at what he said not minding his gestures, what can a girl probably do when she's getting used to the support and attention she's getting from her so called husband.
As she snapped out of her snooze zone , she widely smirk not even masking her true intentions as she got the signal she wanted to hear.
"And since my lovely husband permits me to do whatever I desire... then let's the game start... the mechanics is whoever could distract these big felines from chasing this two young lady's, will be appointed an apprentice at the department of finance" she said as everyone listened
While some have a shocked expression but some looked glad to hear the news, though some just grab food to see how the show unveil
"Anyone is allowed to participate as long as you could stop these five from chasing them" Kim Li pointed eyeing the former concubine Jen Sho
"YOU CANT DO THIS SHE'S YOUR SISTER!" My step mother shouted
"Technically she's not, and my brother will agree to some extent and to top it off, his majesty the emperor already gave his permission would you dare disregards his highness words?" She slyly asked knowing in full details that she already cornered her
Cause weather she admitted it or not her pride and social status would plummet to none.
"Your majesty she's a tyrant please stop her" she pleaded
"Anyone would care to join?" Kim Li asked the audience as she can see how they also oppose the idea and thought that she's a tyrant whose bewitching the king.
"Enough.. and let the one who sinned be punished!" Li Cheng stated making the place silent while eying Kim Li for no casualties
While Kim Li just snapped her fingers signaling her pets to play ,
"No.no.no.noooo!"
"Heeeellp"
"Someone help please!"
They yelled and holding their dresses as she give them a head start
"Go have fun little kittens. GO RUN!"
For at least thirty minutes she let the lions run after the two ladies while Kim Li stop them here and there when her pets showing signs of getting rough, she doesnt want to have any crimson blood in the banquet hall,
Plus she reminded herself to not go that far., Killing an enemy is one thing but killing for something of a trivial matter is below her own beliefs.
Everyone's reaction are different from enjoyment to horror as they watch the scene Infront of them.
Some find it funny as the two ladies run and embarrassed themselves while the kittens just go after them with out agression and just full fun.
After the show Kim Li was satisfied by their punishment and aski Li Cheng to clean up the mess.
Kim Li went to her room with a smile across her face as she slept peacefully surrounded by her big ass pets.,
Even her maid is frightened by the sight but she knew her mistress well.
And she knew that she'll be safe while tiptoeing as she walked across the room to tuck the empress in her sleep.
"I'm glad that your happy now miss., Your happiness is also mine" A-Jin said smiling genuinely as she remembered how her mistress was treated back then.
And that make her tear up both with jow and empathy for her mistress.
