Chapter 1156 The Biological Daughter Of The King
The only person in Loang who dared to address Cynthia by her first name was Mikhail. As the king of Loang and the most powerful person in the country, Mikhail made Cynthia quake in her boots with just one rhetorical question.
Only after taking a deep breath did Cynthia manage to calm herself slightly. “I was only disciplining the attendant for failing to carry out my order as intended,” responded Cynthia with a soft smile. “That’s all, Your Majesty. It’s nothing to concern yourself with.”
The injured and bloodied man remained on the floor, afraid to get up. “Leave us,” ordered Mikhail after glancing at the attendant.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” The subordinate then wiped the blood off his face and hurriedly left as if the king would change his mind if he did not make himself scarce in time. Afterward, only Mikhail and Cynthia remained in the room.
Even though Cynthia was still shaken up, she put on a smile while pouring Mikhail a cup of hot coffee. “Your Majesty, this is made with some of our finest coffee beans. You should try it.”
Cynthia then humbly extended the beverage to Mikhail, but he did not take it. Despite the awkward situation, the woman dared not make any sudden moves but maintained her stiff posture and continued to hold the cup out to Mikhail, who simply gazed at her and refused to take the cup from her.
When her arms eventually got too sore, Cynthia dropped the cup and got the back of her hand scalded by the hot beverage. She immediately inhaled sharply because of the pain.
Cynthia was no fool; she could tell that Mikhail was giving her a hard time on purpose. “Do you know what you did wrong?” inquired Mikhail coldly. “I don’t,” replied Cynthia, trying her best to ignore the pain from the wound on the back of her hand.
“You don’t?” Mikhail spoke in a higher pitch when questioning Cynthia for the second time.
