“Haha!”
She heard a hearty laugh from outside her room as soon as the food was ready. Donoghue strutted through the door with a smile on his face. “My beautiful lady, here I am.”
Mmm?
As soon as he entered and saw the table full of wine and food, Donoghue smiled stiffly—he was stunned.
‘What’s going on? Why are there so many dishes and wine?’
“Your Majesty!”
Yumi forced a smile. She walked forward and graciously pulled a chair for Donoghue. “Your Majesty, I’ve prepared this meal especially for you. You have worked hard for the continent, so I want to cook a few dishes and have a few drinks with you.”
Yumi wore a timid look on her face. “I thought about what you said during the day, and I think that you are right. So, I want to stay here in the palace and serve you.”
Donoghue chuckled.
He was overjoyed when he heard that. He grabbed Yumi’s hand and dragged her into his arms. He smiled and said, “That’s great! I know that you’re smart, and you’ll not reject me.”
Donoghue continued to caress Yumi’s waist.
“Let me pour you some wine.” Yumi felt disgusted, but she did not struggle. She raised the wine bottle as she maintained a smile on her face.
Yumi looked gentle and sweet, but she was nervous.
She was also a proud woman. When had she pleased a man so servilely? She even had to do it for her enemy.
However, she had no choice. She had to succeed for the sake of her innocence and dignity. She could not make any mistakes.
