Chapter 54

• “Please don’t do that in the future, Your Majesty. You can’t do that to me!” Ril’m warned him. She was afraid he would do exactly what she didn’t want to.

Should I make you the Crown Prince’s personal trainer? Should I ask you to investigate every one of the court officials because I know how crooked they are? Should I reassign you to the capital because of the current threat? Or should I just sanction your marriage to me?”
• “Xarius, don’t you dare!” she hissed, gritting her teeth.
