Lady of YeonSung (Lisrene)

Chapter 23

Slap! Lisa's head whipped to the side as the sharp sound cracked in the air.

His handsome, dignified face was blank. Joohyun remained frozen in her spot.

How dare she hit a prince? How dare she lay her hand on him? If he ordered her to death by ripping the limbs off of her body, she wouldn't be able to refute the command. However, she couldn't allow him to approach her like this.

Lisa turned his head back and looked at her.

His dark, black eyes showed nothing.

When she saw them, a shiver ran down Joohyun's spine.

"Hit me again."

"What?"

"From here on out, I'm going to do a lot of things that will deserve them."

"Your Highness!"

"That's right. I'm 'Your Highness'. Who are you? Aha, that's right. Didn't you say that you didn't want to reveal your name to me? Then from now on, I'll address you as 'No Name'. I wonder why I was so adamant about knowing your name before. The problem could have been easily solved like this."

He had become unhinged. He was completely broken. His red lips twisted as a fierce anger radiated off of him.

"I guess that makes sense. You and I merely met when our paths crossed. You were just horny and wanted your pussy filled. That's all it was, right?"

Joohyun stared at him in shock. She had never heard such vulgar words before. Those words never left the mouth of a nobleman. Additionally, he just said that their paths happened to cross, and that she embraced him because of her lust. She couldn't believe it.

"How could you..."

A bitter laugh poured out of his lips.

"Am I wrong? I didn't even know the truth and was worried about you. What if you were with child? How much would you suffer as you went through it alone? Since you knew my name, would you come find me?"

Joohyun remained frozen as she gazed at him.

He was worried that she had conceived?

She wasn't so naive as to be unaware of the consequences of a man and woman's coupling. However, even if she had conceived, she wouldn't have gone to him. Nothing good would come out of their relationship, so she had already made that decision!

She'd forget it. She wouldn't see him again. She had been determined to completely cut the connection between her and this man. She didn't think this man would consider the night they shared to be that important. These were the thoughts she carried with her.

Most men didn't think much of sleeping with women. They would spend a night with a woman for the joy and pleasure, but they never thought about the consequences the woman would have to bear afterwards.

And since he was an imperial prince, this was even more certain! If she was with child, he'd just give her money to raise it, and that's that!

This man would be no different. Look at how he grabbed the courtesans back at the ChiHwaRu! Remember how easily he pressed his lips against hers! He must have been half-joking all this time!

So how significant could their one night have been?

She wanted to believe this.

However, she knew this wasn't true. They had revealed their hearts to each other in that short amount of time. She knew that the traces of that night remained with them.

That was why this man was angry. She had trampled on their night together and run away without notice. That's why he was enraged.

She knew. But it couldn't be helped. She knew, but there was no other choice.
