So I deliberately annoyed the Queen Mother. She said that my words and actions were improper and I was not worthy of staying by the king's side. She even ordered someone to slap me in the face.
But in the end, the Queen Mother didn't dare to go too far. She just taught me a lesson and gave me a warning before leaving.
I was slightly disappointed. She should have been more ruthless.
Liam soon learned about me being punished. He hurriedly came over.
"Rie, are you alright? Let me see." Liam didn't waste time to dismiss the palace attendants and rushed over to hold my face. His expression was serious and filled with pain.
But in my opinion, it was just a hypocritical performance.
"Didn't you say you would take care of me? Look at me, do you have the ability?" I deliberately raised my face for him to see clearly and made sarcastic remarks.
With family feuds and national hatred in front of us, I didn't need to be polite to him.
"Rie... you did it on purpose." His hands holding my face were trembling, and his face showed a painful and helpless expression.
