The Exiled Lady's Rumoured Tyrant.

Due to a small plate of snacks, Shangguan Rei, the prettiest lady official in Qin Empire's Imperial Palace who was going to marry the youngest brother of the Emperor, exiled by her beloved Empire that she devoted her full royalty to. On that snowy night, as her bare delicate feet stepped on that bone-piercingly cold snow, her last bit of naivety and innocence were stripped away along with her will to live. With the heavy shackles on her feet, she was the only one who knows that she was falsely accused but does it even matter now? However, just as Shangguan Rei was about to give up on her desire to live, she met him, that man, that godlike man from another dimension, who she wasn't supposed to have a chance to meet in her life. And the red thread of fate has another plan for her... *The story background of this story is purely an alternative reality/history and has absolutely nothing to do with real history. And the Qin Empire is not the Qin Empire we all know. I merely use the ancient monarchy system of some ancient empire as a reference. **No NSFW, no smut. Don't read if you are looking for NSFW content.

Chapter 55 - Lunch in Niorun Palace.

"It's alright, Rei. Don't blame your maid too much, if I was her, I would be equally excited to rediscover an important memento that I thought was lost. But, to be honest... This carnelian brooch is just a bit too cheap to match you, so if you don't mind, can you give it to me? I happened to be an avid collector of gemstone sculpture," said the King as he looked into Rei's eyes with a smile.

Slightly surprised by that request from the King, Rei sheepishly nodded.

With a subtle smile, the King took out a small piece of silk and wrapped the brooch with it before putting the brooch into his pocket.

"Uhm... Your Majesty, the lunch is almost ready. Do you want to have the lunch in the dining room? Or we can just have it in the small dining area in this room." Rei asked, trying her best to hide her awkwardness.

"Hmm... I guess it's better for us to move to the dining room, I wouldn't want to pollute your room with the odour of food." said the King.
