Life for Love

In the days that followed, none of the Queen Mother and other concubines of the king came to my sleeping palace to pick on me again.

It seemed that Liam not only gave an order in my palace, but also gave orders in the palaces of the Queen Mother and all the concubines.

I thought, the women in the Northern Borderland Palace are not as skilled as those women in the Southern Radiant Kingdom.

No matter how cautious I was in the Southern Radiant Palace, I was eventually framed, and someone even tried to poison me in the food.

Fortunately, my medical skills were excellent, and I noticed that there was something wrong with the food, otherwise I would have died in the palace without knowing why.

It was precisely because someone in the Southern Radiant Palace didn't want me to continue living that I used my martial arts to escape from that place of trouble.

But now I had lost all my martial arts, and it was impossible to escape from this palace using the same method. I originally planned to rely on these women in the palace to achieve this goal, but now it seemed probably useless.

I had to think of another way.

What other way can I use? Looking at my peerless beauty in the mirror, I thought of a scheme--the honey trap!

In the few months, I secretly prepared some powder, and when the time was right, it could be put to use.

Another month had passed. This day was my twentieth birthday, and I knew Liam would come to celebrate for me.

Sure enough, after the day's work, he came to my palace.

He didn't come to his concubines' sleeping palaces often, but almost every time he came, he headed straight to me.

His actions caused dissatisfaction among the concubines and criticism from the officers, but he didn't care and continued to go his own way.

I was happy to see his concubines in turmoil and did not discourage him from coming.

He was very happy because I didn't drive him away and my attitude towards him improved a little bit.

"Rie, look at what I brought you." As usual, when he came, he dismissed everyone and only left the two of us in the room to talk. Although he always came happily and left disappointedly, he was never tired of it.

"I don't want this." I didn't even look at the gift he carefully prepared for me.

"Today is your birthday. Since you don't like this thing, you can tell me what you want, and I will try my best to do it," he said.

"I do have a wish." I was in a good mood when I saw that he took the bait.

"But if you want to leave me, I can't promise you." After thinking for a moment, Liam said so.

I smiled at him for the first time. I walked gracefully to him and acted very soft and seductive.

I first touched his chest with my hands, then wrapped my arms around his neck. "Don't worry, you can definitely fulfill this wish for me. It's not difficult. If you agree, I will even reward you."

Because of my sudden approach, Liam's breathing stopped, and his body involuntarily stiffened.

"You say." After a while, he finally squeezed out these words.

He was still the same as before, both close to me and keeping a distance.

I knew he was restraining himself..

He knew that if he used force, I would fight to the death, so he dared not.

"I have been in the Northern Borderland Kingdom for more than half a year. I want to go out of the palace for a while, just half a day." I tightened my hands around his neck and pressed my body closer to him. I could clearly feel his breath starting to become chaotic. So I smirked and continued, "If you are not at ease, you can accompany me. We will go together and come back together."

If it were before, when he was my senior brother, I would never dare to make such an excessive move, even if I admired him.

But now, in order to achieve my goal, I would use any means, even seducing him.

I tiptoed and brought my red lips close to his ear, with a hint of ambiguity. "If you agree, you can do anything to me."
