Lady of YeonSung (Lisrene)

Chapter 10

Lisa hadn't enjoyed himself like this in many years. The more furious this woman became, the happier he felt. What did this mean?

How dare she put me through so much trouble and escape!

Whenever he recalled what had happened at the ChiHwaRu, he'd wake up from his sleep and burst up from his bed. She dared to steal his lips before slapping his cheek. And this woman dared to kick him in between his legs. Did she not know what would happen if that part of a man was destroyed?

And he couldn't forget how she had escaped with his horse in that kind of outfit. The clothing had drooped down due to the rainy wind. Her pale, exposed back. Her disheveled hair that smelled like peonies. Although she looked like a crazy woman, she kept appearing in his dreams.

He must be losing his mind!

Now wasn't the time to think thoughts like these. He needed to figure out what this 'Heukra' was and why it went around with his mother's waistband.

He had also seen that strange mark at the ChiHwaRu. The seal of the three-legged crow. It was definitely a seal of the ancient civilization of Paran. If this girl had seen that symbol as well, he believed that she would come to the Academy to find any clues related to it.

He had already seen all the clues at the Academy, but he himself didn't know why he had waited for her at the Academy for the past three days.

And as expected, the woman appeared at the Academy. This time, she wasn't a courtesan. Instead, she came as dressed as a scholar. However, how could he forget her face? Her scent...

"Untie me."

She warned chillingly as she glared at him. He enjoyed seeing her furious expression.

Hmph, I already know what will happen if I untie you, so why would I do something so stupid like that?

Considering what she did to him at the ChiHwaRu, this was nothing. Even if she didn't know who he truly was, she dared to slap the cheek of a king and even steal his horse. Considering her crimes, hanging her from the ceiling was a small price to pay.

However, it didn't matter right now. He needed to know who this woman was and why she was chasing after the Heukra.

"Now, why don't you tell me? Who are you?"

He smiled coldly as he gripped her chin with one hand. He felt her flinch, but all the playfulness had left his eyes.

"If you don't tell me, I'll have to punish you."

"Very funny."

Joohyun grit her teeth and spit out her next words.

"Why don't you tell me who you are? Why are you chasing after the Heukra?"

"I'm..."

Lisa laughed coldly.

"That's none of your business."

He arrogantly disregarded her.

"Well, my identity is none of your business as well."

Ha! She sure had guts. Lisa continued to grasp her chin as he glared down at her. How strange. Why wasn't he angry? Why was he having so much fun?

Usually, in situations like this, he would just torture her for information.

However, he didn't feel like doing that right now. Actually, he wanted to give her the bamboo slip she so desperately wanted.

Men were such fickle creatures.

Lisa scoffed at himself. He gripped her chin even harder.

He examined her face. She was as impertinent and as sassy as ever. The slightly slanted eyes that were glaring daggers at him reminded him of a cat's. Her cheeks were flushed because she had been jumping from roof to roof as she pursued him earlier.
