Chapter 298

She walked into court gracefully. Fully dressed in her formal princess attire, she looked radiant. There were no visible marks on her skin, no signs of bruises. Or pain.

Her eyes shone brightly, filled with life, and on her lips was a wide, unshaken smile.

Not a single person stirred as she paused to bow gracefully to the assembled court, before she crossed the floor and ascended the dais, coming to a stop beside the grand king.

Then…kissed him.

Not a peck nor even a heavy indecent display, the kiss was light. Yet screamed intimate.

Free of tongue or theatrics, but every bit as charged with passion as if they were alone.

It lingered just long enough to stun the court into an even deeper silence.

Pulling back, the human princess turned to Zaiper, looking thoughtful. “Do you have evidence to back up such ridiculous claims, my lord? Since when is it wrong for a woman to scream out her pleasure when her male is rocking her world?” She grinned. “What do you have against screams of ecstasy, Second Ruler?”

“That is untrue!” The words ripped from his throat. So angry his vision turned red. “HOW DARE YOU stand before this council and lie to us?!”

“Oh,” Emeriel gasped, covering her mouth in sheer exasperation. “How dare you make such ridiculous claims against your grand king?”

Zaiper could only stare for a few seconds. Too dumbfounded to form words.

“Pardon me, and I say this with the utmost respect, grand lord, but unless you were present in the room with us, you have no right to make such accusations,” Emeriel told him.

Zaiper could not believe this.
