Chapter 18 You Did It on Purpose

There was a flash of surprise in Saru's eyes, and he looked at Artemis with more than a hint of appreciation, he beckoned to his subordinates to read out his planned imperial edict.

The content inside was same as what Artemis said, everyone was stunned. Someone who had complained a little dared not speak again. Saru was their God, and they dared not disobey him at all.

Saru waved his hand for the courtiers to retire from the council chamber.

He sat casually in the wide chair. With one reach, he pulled her into his lap, and intimately came close to her ear, saying, "Are you satisfied now?"

Instead of being confused by his mildness, Artemis instantly understood what he meant and sneered, "You did it on purpose."

He deliberately let her barge in and help him teach his subordinates a lesson, so that the courtiers whose proposals were rejected would only hold a grudge against her and the questions would not be direct at Saru.

Saru smothered two chuckles in her ear. With her intelligence, it was no surprise that she could guess that.

Artemis took advantage of his good mood and said, "I'd like to go and meet Ross and the others."

Saru frowned, not refusing but not saying yes to her either.

She continued, "Do you remember our wager? Are you so insecure? I just meet them and I won't run away. "

"Are you afraid?" She said deliberately.

Saru surveyed the woman, understood her intentions, and laughed lightly twice, "You make me more and more satisfied."

Artemis stiffened, she seemed to have done the wrong thing. Being interested in this man was a dangerous thing, but it was good that the man still agreed to her request.

Artemis was picked up by him unprepared. Saru picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground with one hand, held her buttocks with the other, and effortlessly walked towards the outside.

"I can walk by myself, you put me down." Artemis struggled, only to be slapped by him.

Artemis' cheeks burned red, and she only felt the place where he had patted her was hot, and it was the first time in her life that she had been spanked.

Out of the council chamber, Lore respectfully bowed his head and knelt on the ground, Saru looked at him and said, "Go down and receive punishment yourself."

Lore left without saying a word, and finally he looked at Artemis, who was held in Saru's arms, with a hint of guilt and sadness.

Artemis tried to speak, but was interrupted by Saru: "You'd better think about which thing you're asking me for."

She knew what he meant beyond words, "Do you want to save the Mandorla people or Lore?" , she could only shut her mouth.

Walking on the road to the prison, the flat road turned into a potholed and gravel road, Artemis looked at her shoeless feet and then at the stones on the ground, "did he insist on holding her because of this?"

She looked at the side of Saru's face with some complicate feelings, and could only reach out her small hand and put it around his neck, trying to ignore the large hand on her hip.

Just approaching the prison, they could smell a blood smell, black and red dirt made people guess if it was because the blood soaked the land to form this color.

Into the prison, Saru put her down, but she stepped on a soft thing under her feet, and looked down, it turned out that he laid his cloak to the ground. That was the emperor's cloak ...

Artemis looked at the cold face and thought to herself: this man is quite good at picking up girls.

Once out of his grasp, Artemis quickly ran inside. Just two steps away, she heard an angry roar: "Let me out, you let me out!"
