None of the shadow guards was audacious to speak. Only a day ago, they were greatly affected by His Majesty’s immense rage, to the extent that they felt as though their organs were bruised.
Baili Jia Jue elegantly supported his chin with his hand. While the black tassel on his sleeve concealing his disdainful grin, he scoffed, “You are telling me that you can’t even find me a person? Then, what’s the use of you?”
“Your Highness!” Shadow interrupted. He was not worried about himself, but about his master’s sudden eruption of ruthlessness.
The Retired Emperor once said that His Majesty could always do according to his own will. But, he must be stopped before he went on a killing spree.
Otherwise, the nation would be painted in blood.
“What is it?” Baili Jia Jue spoke nonchalantly and lifted up the cup next to him, then gently shook the cup. His side profile with a fair complexion was inconceivably handsome but devilish, “Shadow, your words better lift up my moods. Otherwise, get lost!”
He ended his sentence in a cold but menacing tone.
Shadow knew better than anyone else about the number of shadow guards who were made redundant by his master.
Shadow knelt down on one knee with his forehead covered in cold sweat, “From what I know about Princess Consort, she will not leave just like this before she retrieves the legacy of Helian Family. When the Princess Consort left, she appeared as if she was going to run some errands instead of leaving this place for good. If she truly has the intention to leave, she will definitely go to Second Master Hei. Yet, she hasn’t been to the Fine Compound.”
Baili Jia Jue was listening and his emotion was indecipherable. He looked into the distance and replied, “You’re right. She has always been planning to leave me and she’s not in a hurry.”
As Baili Jia Jue spoke, he wore no emotion. But, his left hand that was resting on the sandalwood table was clenched into a fist.
He gently touched the red rose before him gently and his expression turned cold.
A loud bang resonated!
The flowers, with color as fiery as the fire, implied warmth. They were now lying quietly in the corner.
Baili Jia Jue stood up and placed his one hand into his pocket. He looked at the red plants arrogantly.
Something was stuck in his chest.
If she is able to run away this time, there will be a second time.
Even if I can bring her back.
Her heart will always belong to another man.
Another thud resonated!
Baili Jia Jue landed a punch on the sandalwood table and then took a deep breath. He raised his face with an expression full of pride. He appeared graceful and devilish as usual with his long black hair that coupled with his cold yet perfect face.
She was merely a prey to him.
There were many other women who were better, more beautiful and more obedient than her!
The elegant Third Prince turned around. With his back facing Shadow, he slowly disappeared into the distance. However, no one could ignore the loneliness he carried with him.
He removed his white robe as he walked and threw it casually on his giant bed along with the white ribbon that was tied to his hand.
His eyes were as dark as the night sky, shimmering chillingly. At the same time, there was a hint of sorrow in his eyes that even he could not quite understand himself.
Fire Qilin was the closest to him. It absolutely could sense the abnormality of his emotions.
“Master, have you ever thought that maybe the woman is more than just a prey to you?”
Baili Jia Jue’s eyes were still freezing cold, “What else can she be?”
“You have never treated a prey like this before…” Fire Qilin was playing with its beautiful fur as it ranted. For instance, it was fed with plain leaves, something that even the dogs refused to eat, for an entire month.
