Chapter 143. Vicious Encounter
Dragon King's Harem Chapter 143. Vicious Encounter
Ignoring Arter's presence, Jyne turned and walked down the corridor without a word. Arter immediately chased after her and walked by her side.
"Let me guess. A failure?" teased Arter mercilessly. He guessed this since according to the guards she had only been in for a while and from her sour expression.
"None of your business," Jyne said curtly. She turned her gaze in another direction out of annoyance.
Arthur took a deep breath.
"He did the right thing. You should be ashamed of yourself," he warned her. Usually, it was the man who chased women aggressively, but in this case, it was the other way around.
"I said it's none of your business," she said again in the same tone. She sped up her pace, trying to leave Arter behind but to no avail.
Upon her rude attitude, he blocked her way, stopping Jyne.
"This is my business," he said firmly. His face showed his displeasure.
Ignoring her brother, she turned, trying to pass him from the other direction. But Arter shifted to block her.
Jyne glared at Arter in displeasure.
"Move," she ordered angrily.
"No," he said in the same tone as hers.
Since Arter wouldn't move from his spot, Jyne shifted to the other side, trying to get past him. Again, Arter blocked her.
Jyne smiled wryly.
"Thanks for reminding me. You've said it from time to time." Despite her words, she said it in a cynical tone.
Ending their vicious encounter, Jyne decided to return to her room. After all, Argod had already said that he accepted the duel and would not take it for granted out of respect for her brother and father.
But just as she was about to pass, Arter caught her wrist.
"You know... This is why father and I decided to test the king." Then he turned to Jyne.
"Because you are stubborn and like to act as you please. At least I hope he can tame you and change you for the better. If not... Maybe you who will give him trouble one day." It was a warning and also a reminder for Jyne.
Jyne turned to Arter.
"I wouldn't do such a stupid thing," she replied in the same threatening tone.
He let out a mocking chuckle upon her statement.
"You almost did. It was the king who prevented it. He is a wise man," he reminded her. Of course, he meant what she just wanted to do.
"This is my body and my heart. I will give it to someone I love and deserve it." Jyne pulled her hand in rage. Her gaze fixed on Arter also said the same thing.
"You have no right to control me," she added.
"But remember Jyne. You are a princess. Your body and heart have belonged to the kingdom from the start," replied Arter coldly.
Those words hurt her. Her tears overflowed and almost dripped from her eyes in an instant. Without answering, Jyne quickened her pace and left.
