Serve Me

Yiman's words echoed like thunder behind Nadia's ears, who felt a chill on her back since she knew that her father-in-law was completely against her marriage with her late husband to the point he even assassinated his own son.

And as if that was not enough, he had been trying to kill his own son's family for decades, and this was the reason Nadia had to run away to the neighboring kingdom with her son to escape from her father-in-law.

She knew he was a ruthless evil man who would stop at nothing to preserve his power and status.

Still, she quickly recovered her thoughts and said sternly, "So what? Isn't that why I became your maid in the first place? To protect my son and me from him. You already promised me that. Don't you dare go back on your words!" Nadia felt truly incensed since she felt that Yiman was trying to back out after humiliating her so far.

Yiman waved his hands as he said, "Shhh, calm down. I never said that I am offering you and your son to him like pigs for slaughter. I only said the reason why he is here. But he knows that I am protecting you, which is why he will try to see if you are really my woman or not since that is the excuse that I am using to stop him from taking you and your son. If he thinks that you are not acting like my woman, he will definitely cause problems which you might not like. That is why I am warning you right now to at least pretend to be a woman till he leaves for your own good. If you behave unruly or defiant like always, then he will definitely feel suspicious. But of course, I will only be kind enough to fully protect you from him if you agree to my rule of getting to touch you as I like."

Nadia's nostrils flared as she said with a glare, "Go to hell! I can't believe you are shameless enough to demand so much because of one pesky old man. Anyway, he knows that I am going to become your queen, and that is enough of a reason for him to not take me away as you said. So I don't really need your 'complete' protection. Now let's just get this over with."

Yiman shrugged as he said, "Your wish. But remember. If you want to agree to my deal whenever you feel like then just wink at me."

"Keep dreaming, hmph," Nadia scoffed as the two walked towards the guest room.

As the two entered the guest room, Nadia immediately frowned upon seeing a muscular old man with a short gray beard sitting on a chair while drinking red wine. Even if she hadn't seen him for a long while, she easily recognized his unpleasant face as Vuran Kon, the king of the Soulstar Kingdom.

His build was muscular, which showed how much in shape he was despite being so old, and his cultivation was at least higher than Yiman, though by not too much. However, his face was a bit ugly and boorish, making Nadia once more think how someone like him had a handsome son like her late husband.

In the corners of the room, there were royal guards with the insignia of Soulstar Kingdom, and they were accompanying their king as protection detail. But the moment they laid eyes on Nadia, even they who had weathered through many battles couldn't help but have their iron hearts waver upon her charming beauty.

Even Vuran, who was busy sipping on a glass of expensive wine, turned his head around upon hearing the two enter, only to forget about swallowing the wine in his mouth when he saw a seductive beauty with a charm that made him feel like his bones were melting.

He knew his daughter-in-law was a kingdom toppling beauty, especially when he was planning to make her his concubine all those years ago.

But who would have thought that his son would call dibs on her first to the point he was even willing to disobey him and run away with her.

And right now, even if it has been decades since he saw her, she was looking even more beautiful than he remembered with an added mature charm, especially her supple breasts that were gleaming with her sweat.

Such a sight only made Vuran feel an intense burning sensation on his lower half. He couldn't remember the last time a woman made him feel like this.

Compared to this snowy-haired goddess, all the so-called beauties, including even the young ones he toyed with, were ugly ducks.

"Nadia, it seems that even after going in hiding for all these years, your beauty and elegance haven't diminished in the slightest," Vuran said as he intensely gazed at her tantalizing figure.

Nadia felt creeped out by his gaze as she frowned though she was not surprised by his actions.

In fact, she always knew that this perverted old man was lusting after her the moment he met him for the first time, despite knowing that she was in love with his son.

This was also the reason why she didn't want to end up in his hands since even death would be better than that. In fact, she would be willing to fight to the death to not fall into his hands, but only for the sake of Lucas, she went into hiding since she knew that Lucas won't survive without her.

She also was angry and loathed him for killing his own son by turning him into a traitor. This was enough for her to realize that he was an extremely cold-hearted bastard who would stoop to commit any evil acts.

"What is with that look? You are a criminal of my kingdom, along with your son deserving a death sentence. Just because you became a maid here doesn't mean you can escape my kingdom's punishment. First, come and serve me. Then we will talk about the details," Vuran said in a rough stern voice, making Nadia feel like throwing curses at him.

But she was no fool and knew her current situation. Even if this was Yiman's kingdom, Vuran was a king as well and Yiman's guest. If she were to throw curses at him, then surely she would get punished for that since it was a crime, and she didn't want any more trouble than the ones she already had.

Yiman nudged her as he said with a smile, "Go on, beautiful. Why don't you take that tray with the food over there and serve it to our respected guest."

Nadia could only grudgingly swallow her indignance as she walked over to pick up the tray on the side, and then with a subtle glare, she silently walked towards where Vuran was sitting to place the dishes on the table.

Vuran was tapping his fingers on his armrest as Nadia continued to place the dishes before him, though in reality, he was admiring her half-exposed slender back and her milky thighs.

Nadia was disgusted by his lewd gaze, but she felt that he wouldn't dare to touch her, especially since this was not his home but Yiman's, and in name, she was also Yiman's woman. So which king would dare to touch a woman that belongs to another king?

However, right after she placed the last dish on the table and was about to walk away in a hurry, Vuran suddenly grabbed her snowy wrist with an iron grip as he pulled her towards him, "Where the hell do you think you are going bitch without serving me?"
