He Who Covets the Abandoned Bride (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 59
The Empress pouted her lips and spoke to Adrian in a half-threatening tone.
“Would it be all right if I told His Majesty about this conversation?”
“Do as you please. It’s your freedom to bicker by His Majesty’s pillow.”
Adrian’s indifferent reaction, as though he didn’t care about such trivialities, made the Empress’s eyes sharpen. But Adrian wasn’t someone who’d be intimidated by such a thing.
He had always been confident that his worth didn’t stem solely from his status, so threats from others rarely frightened him.
Yet there was one thing Adrian could never forgive—anyone laying hands on what was his, especially Laila.
“Besides, the Fourth Prince’s behavior was quite a spectacle. How dare he interfere in matters under my jurisdiction?”
“Are you really making such a fuss over merely disciplining a single slave?”
“Merely a single slave?”
Adrian barely suppressed the urge to tear the mouth right off the face before him.
Even setting Laila aside, what the Fourth Prince had touched was Adrian Rains’s authority and pride. He’d beaten a slave simply because the slave’s shadow happened to brush past him. The act itself wasn’t unusual—what made it significant wasn’t the act but what it represented.
The Fourth Prince had meddled with someone under the Crown Prince’s domain without his permission.
Granting leeway once would carve out a space for future encroachments. Such infringements naturally grew larger over time, and Adrian knew he’d be subjected to endless tests of patience if he let this slide.
“You shouldn’t speak that way. It sounds as though you’re implying I can’t even manage the hierarchy myself.”
Realizing the core of the issue from Adrian’s pointed remark, the Empress suddenly became flustered.
