Chapter 88: Slap Slap Slap Part2

After she heard about what had happened Tang Yue's frown deepened.

Apparently, Charlotte had thrashed Lotte to the point of death in order to make him spill the details about Tang Yue's mission and her plans in the forest.

Once she thought about this, Tang Yue slowly understood everything.

This was why Charlotte and her group were present in the forest in the first place.

They had gotten the information out of Lotte by beating him black and blue.

Tang Yue sized up the elf in front of her. 

He had indeed betrayed her, but she also understood the various hierarchies in the royal power chart.

Just looking at how badly he was tortured, Tang Yue could tell that the elf was beaten down a lot before he ended up coughing up the details.

This might have been something very inconsequential to others, but for her, this in itself was a huge thing.

Tang Yue was very touched by this small act of loyalty. 

Maybe it was purely out of a sense of duty, but this was more kindness than anyone else had ever shown her.

So it pained her to look at the scars on her aide's body.

Tang Yue gazed at the elf for a while, who still had his head hung down in embarrassment.

She sighed deeply and muttered, as she sat back down on her bed. "Summon my dear sister, Charlotte, for me." She smiled.

Huh? She didn't reprimand me even once? Lotte absent-mindedly nodded. 

Anyone else would have punished him with a hundred or so lashes at the least for doing something atrocious and downright backstabbing like this.

But Tang Yue hadn't said anything at all.

"Don't worry. I am sure my sister will be more than willing to pay me a visit." She added and chuckled.

Lotte bowed gratefully and quickly left.

And just as Tang Yue had expected, not long after, Charlotte elegantly trotted over, accompanied by her two maids.

The enchanting elf looked as mesmerizing and beautiful as ever, not a single scar on her pale porcelain skin.

All the grizzly wounds and the burn marks from the disastrous incidents in the forest had completely disappeared.

A gentle smile hung on her soft lips as if nothing had happened and her gorgeous figure happily appeared in front of Tang Yue.

"Greetings, Sister." 

Charlotte smiled and sat down. She didn't wait for any acknowledging nod from Tang Yue.

There was even a small scowl on her face from seeing Tang Yue's completely healed alluring body.

The snake, who was already used to this arrogant entitled behavior chuckled coldly.

This was why she was sure that Charlotte would come over and meet with her.

She was sure that the pampered General's daughter wouldn't let this chance slip by to rub on her face how nothing can shake her position amidst the royalty.

"Greetings to you too, sister." Tang Yue smiled. 

But she quickly added, "Oops. Sorry about that. I guess we are no longer sisters." 

Tang Yue sneered, purposefully provoking the arrogant elf in front of her.

Charlotte clenched her fists but maintained the sweet smile on her lips. 

She was determined to not give Tang Yue the satisfaction of insulting her.

"Of course. Of course. We were never really sisters, to begin with, were we?"

"After all, I am an elf and you are a spirit beast." Charlotte replied with mockery in her eyes.

She didn't have the slightest hue of guilt or awkwardness or shame in her bearings. 

She couldn't care less that she was sitting in front of the same person she had set out to murder ruthlessly.

Tang Yue, as well, smiled. She looked very casual and carefree. 

It was the perfect picture of two good friends leisurely chatting with each other. 

But suddenly the snake leaned forward and stood up. 

"Be that as it may be… I still think you had no business touching my servant."

And without any warning, before Charlotte could respond, a series of crisp sounds echoed in the ornate chamber.

Pa Pa Pa Pa

Slap Slap Slap Slap

Tang Yue had slapped the beautiful elf in front of her four times in the blink of an eye.

"This is just a warning. The next time you touch my servants, the outcome will be much worse." 

She was no longer smiling, but had a cold indifferent look on her face, as if she was looking at someone beneath her status.

"And do not call me sister. Know your place and address me as your highness."

Tang Yue leaned forward and patted the elf who was still staring at her with her one hand on her cheek and her jaw dropped on the floor.

She then chuckled and walked out, heading towards her new residential quarters, the zither palace.

She couldn't care less that she had just landed a few tight slaps on Charlotte's face. 

They were already at irreconcilable lengths, so what's a few more slaps?

She wanted to do so much more, but that had to wait. Tang Yue smiled and continued walking.

Lotte was the first one to recover from his shock and quickly scurried along, following behind Tang Yue.

Charlotte and her maids only snapped out of their trance when they saw the limping palace aide elf running out of the chamber.

"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" Charlotte trembled, still feeling the stinging sensation on her cheeks.

She clutched the edges of the wooden chair and stood up, kicking it behind her in anger.

"The audacity of this beast?!! How dare she?!!" Charlotte shouted, her cheeks burning red. 

Since her birth, no one had ever slapped her directly on her face! Not even her father, the General!

Both her maids hung their heads down in fear. 

They were terribly afraid to face their mistress, considering what had just happened.

Charlotte looked absolutely furious like a tumultuous sea.

Thud! She forcefully banged the wall next to her and stormed out in anger. This was not over!

Did this snake think that she could get rid of her this easily?? This battle was far from over!
