The maid turned white upon seeing who it was. By this point after a year of rumor and misinformation, most of the palace maids and servants had taken the news as true and didn’t doubt it in the least.
“Mu… Miss Mu Xue, we weren’t saying anything.” Due to how frightened she was, the maids no longer dared to speak and hanged their heads.
Frosty in the face, Mu Xue, the arrogant leopard girl snaps at the obvious lie: “You bunch are nothing but ignorant fools who hasn’t seen the real world yet. Nothing but a human woman, how good can she possibly look? Moreover, that son of hers is only a half breed, that child can only be a useless weakling at best! Only idiots like you two would treat him as a thing!”
The face of the two maids were undoubtedly very ugly after hearing that pompous and disgusting statement. Unfortunately, due to their fear of Mu Xue’s supposed identity and possibility of becoming a consort, they didn’t dare to retort her.
“Hurry up and get back to work! If I find out any of you are lazing around then I will go tell the king to dispose of you two!”
Without surprise, the two timid maids did exactly just that. Bowing their head, they quickly retreated to carry out their work, afraid the sassy bitch would really go report them.
Meanwhile at the same time in the back mountain of the palace, a door which has been closed for nearly two years has finally been opened again.
“First Elder.” A guard greets the cheeky and jolly looking elder after coming over to greet the individual.
“Mmm,” First Elder slightly nods, “Did the king return yet?”
“Sadly not, both the king and queen hasn’t return yet. However, the king did send us a letter and a badge for us to use. The content said as long as we snap the badge in half then the king will come if we are in need of him.”
Twitching in his old mouth, The king and queen’s been away that long?
“Alright, I understand then. Don’t fret too much on the matter, I’m sure the king and queen will come back soon enough. Anyways, did anything happen to the city while I was in closed door training?”
“Yes First Elder, there is. The attacks from the Celestial Realm are getting fiercer and fiercer with every battle, fortunately our forces are able to repel them at every turn. Now the only matter left uncertain is the matter of the king taking in a new consort. Shouldn’t we settle on the candidates before the king returns?”
Choose a consort?
The elder appeared dumbfounded on the face.
When did the king want a consort, and how come I didn’t know about this?
“Outrageous!” First Elder huffs and snaps out at the guard in utter anger: “Who told you such nonsense about the king choosing a consort, and why would he go and take another woman when he has such deep affection for the queen?”
Now it was the guard’s turn to be dumbfounded.
The king didn’t plan to choose a consort? Then what was the point of those ladies being brought into the palace?
“Idiots, a bunch of idiots!” Shaking across his body due the inability to express his emotions, “If the king wanted to take a consort then why would he wait until this day! He promised the queen that he will only have her for this life, and knowing how proud the queen is, do you think she will allow other females to serve her husband?!”
With a shudder, the guard plopped to the ground in the next and recalled back to all the rumors over the year. As expected, his back was drenched in cold sweat at the thought.
It’s over! This time it’s over!
“Tell me, who is the bastard who said the king wants a consort?!” Grabbing the guard by the collar, the elder roars out with a boom, “Is that moron trying to get me killed?!”
