Chapter 74 SAGE
"What condition? I asked, frowning.
"You're going to grace me every night until I say so," he said.
I chuckled, which eventually burst into laughter. My laughter echoes along every corner of the corridor. I was holding my belly as I couldn't help but laugh upon hearing his condition. I was expecting something heavy in return for my favor. But ↑ wasn't expecting how simple his request was. "Please do enlighten me, my lady, Is there something amusing?" Titus's voice dripped with irritation, his eyes narrowing as he watched me, clearly displeased by the hint of a smirk on my face.
I cleared my throat, forcing myself to breathe evenly before meeting his gaze, unafraid. "Let me get this straight, Your Majesty," I said, my voice calm but edged with disbelief. "You want me to sleep with you in exchange for a lighter sentence for the woman who betrayed

His frown deepened, his expression hardening as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Isn't that what you were asking for?" He replied, his voice cold, as if he couldn't quite grasp why I found his proposal insulting
I scoffed, shaking my head slightly. "Yes, I asked for a reduced sentence," I acknowledged, "but judging by the condition you've just laid out, it's clear you think very little of me, Your Majesty," My words were sharp, each one cutting deeper as I watched his brows furrow in confusion, trying to make sense of what I was saying. "It's funny," I continued. my voice dripping with sarcasm. "You're both the smartest person I've ever met... and the dumbest." "My lady!" Elara's shocked gasp came from the corner of the room, her wide eyes darting between us as she took in the audacity of my words.
I didn't bother looking at her. My focus remained solely on Titus, who stood before me, rigid and silent. "You really believe I'd sell my body to save the very person who has made it their mission to ruin my life?" I asked, my voice full of disdain. "1 thought you were smarter than that, but clearly, you're not." The silence that f t followed my words was thick, charged with a tension so palpable I could almost feel it pressing down on me. My heart pounded in my chest, and though I refused to show it, my nerves were on edge. I had just spoken to the most powerful man in the kingdom with a level of disrespect that no one would dare. I had crossed a line, one I knew I had no business crossing-no matter how much I despised his arrogance, no matter how angry I was. And yet, here I stood, waiting for the inevitable outburst-the explosion of rage that I knew was coming. The kind of fury that would remind me and everyone else in this room just who he was. His temper was infamous, his authority absolute. No one crossed Titus without consequences. Ev with his growing fondness toward me, I knew I had tested his patience, and 1 was fully prepared face the fallout. But then, something strange happened
