Chapter 103 - Not As Good As Her (2)

Feeling the pain on his neck, Bai Sheng suddenly felt blessed. With Gong Jue's character, if he wanted to kill him, he would've done so already. Since he wasn't dead, it must be due to the princess.

Thinking of this, Bai Sheng endured the terror and pain and said, "I'll continue to say it even if you kill me! Your subordinate still clearly remembers how the Chaoyang Princess debated over countless cases before finally finding a suitable opportunity!"

"In order to understand whether the underground water was suitable for the West County, she took an entire month to study the county's geography, repeatedly pondering until she settled on this plan!"

"Before arranging for me to follow you, she told me that I absolutely must make sure you complete this task. Now that you want to go back, you may as well kill me first since I no longer have the courage to face the princess!"

(TN: I think a quote is missing so I'm not sure if he's talking the whole time or only the first and last paragraphs.)

"Heh, do you think I don't dare?"

Gong Jue's voice was chilling cold, piercing straight to the bones. He tightly grasped the hilt!

Gong Jue clenched his hands and loosened them, his voice suddenly grew low. After a long while, he tiredly and softly spoke.

"If I don't have her... then what is the point of all those merits?"

His words made Bai Sheng horrified! He didn't expect Gong Jue to say something like this. Men chase after merits, isn't it something etched deeply within their bones?

"But you are right..."

Gong Jue lowered his head, placing his fist by his side. His back figure was tense, yet carried a tinge of sorrow.

"She isn't a normal woman! She would never let me down so, so...!"

His fingernails dug deep into his palm.

"So I also can't let her down..."

She definitely won't fail, so he also definitely can't. Otherwise, how could he stand beside her?

It's just, Royal Sister, you're too disobedient! Looks like he can't count on his grandfather and Royal Sister anymore. He must gain enough power to earn these rights! He will no longer allow Royal Sister to hide things from him. He will find out all news about her! Everything!
