Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — I hid my patience in the Hospital Department for ten years, waiting for the day to overthrow the Dog Emperor
It turned out that was the reason he stepped on the electric door and said 'Found it', 'From now on I am your older brother, from now on I will take care of you.' It was all his calculation.
“I don't just have resentment.”
"I really wish I could kill you with thousands of swords!"
“Khuong Tuan!”
I almost screamed until my voice was hoarse.
“When you stood by and watched me being humiliated and slapped in the face, where were you?!”
“When you gave me those cold curtains, were you laughing at me like a lowly dog in your heart?!”
“You took advantage of me, treating me as your revenge pawn!”
“Now… are you satisfied?!”
“Your great enemy has been reported!”
"Your country is about to be reclaimed!"
“Do you feel that you are extremely great?!”
Every word of mine is like a blade. Aggressively stabbed straight into his heart. His face instantly turned pale. He looked at me, his lips moving slightly. Seems to want to explain something. But in the end, he just slowly closed his eyes. When I opened my eyes again, there was only coldness left in my eyes.
“Are you done talking?”
“Having said that… we should talk about business.”
He looked at me, his eyes as if he were evaluating an item.
“Where is the heirloom jade sister?”
“Hand it over.”
Traditional jade sister. Deliver it here. His voice didn't carry any heat. It's like ten years of life and death companionship between us. Like the blood relationship between us. Everything... is not as good as that cold block of ice. My heart is completely cold. I looked at him, the 'name' brother was now my real brother. Suddenly I felt... he made me even stranger and more scared than Wei Dien. Wei Dien's badness is written directly on his face. As for his coldness, his gloominess... is engraved deep into his bones.
“What if… I say no?”
I looked at him, asking each word again. His eyes narrowed slightly. A flash of danger suddenly flashed and then disappeared.
“Khuong Chieu Ninh.”
“You better not test my patience.”
“I can pull you out of the Medical Department.”
“You could also… throw me back into that place that's a hundred times scarier.”
This is intimidation. A blatant, undisguised threat. I burst out laughing. Laughing until tears flowed down.
“Khuong Tuan ah Khuong Tuan.”
“You really are… my good brother.”
My hand slowly moved into my chest. Touching the jade block is covered with layer after layer of fabric oil. It is still close to our hearts. It's been ten years. That is the only attachment that helps us continue to live. I always thought that this was the last relic that my father and mother left me. Only today do we understand. It's just... a fate-killing talisman. It's also my only card. Khuong Tuan's eyes locked on my hand. Even his breathing began to become rapid. I can feel his desire for that piece of jade. It is the most primitive kind of lust for power. I slowly took out the jade sister. Layer by layer, remove the outer layer of fabric oil. Under dim candlelight. That transparent, iridescent block of jade radiates a warm light. The dragon pattern engraved on it is lifelike and has an imposing aura.
“You want it?”
He nodded. Eye contact from beginning to end ever leave Ngoc sister's side even for a moment.
"This is the country's important treasure, it should be kept by me."
The tone is extremely natural.
“You preserve it?”
I repeat softly.
“Based on what?”
“Based on the fact that you lied to me for ten years?”
“Or is it based on the fact that you just watch me suffer without being moved?”
“Khuong Tuan, tell me.”
“What are you relying on!”
My voice suddenly became sharp. Like a sharp blade, tearing through the death in the main hall. When I questioned him like that, his face turned blue and white.
“Just by… I am the Crown Prince!”
In the end, he was angered by me.
"Just because I'm the only man left in Dai Dien's royal family!"
“This country should have been inherited by me!”
“And you, Khuong Chieu Ninh.”
He looked at me, his eyes full of warning.
“What you should do is obediently hand over the jade sister to me.”
“Then I will give you the title of eldest princess.”
“Choose a good marriage for me again.”
"Let me show off my glory and get married."
“That… is my best outcome.”
Hearing his words, I only felt extremely sarcastic. It turned out to be in his plan. I am just a tool used to exchange benefits. After using it... you can immediately throw it away. I look at him.
“What if I don't want to marry anyone?”
“What if… I also want to sit in that position?”
As soon as my words ended, the entire main hall was suddenly struck by lightning. Not just Khuong Tuan. …….
