“Lady… I don’t know, I really don’t know anything! I was just following orders. Lord Walter only told me to knock you out and bring you back. He didn’t say what to do next! Lady, please be magnanimous and spare me!”
After the clamor in his ears subsided, Lei Ke Si immediately knelt down and continued begging Liyakade for mercy.
“Disgusting! Get away!”
When she saw Lei Ke Si crawl to her feet and actually stick out his tongue toward her shoe, Liyakade was so startled she almost didn’t react.
She kicked him away.
She hadn’t expected Lei Ke Si to abandon all dignity just to save his life.
Licking a shoe was a symbol of submission, a behavior that lowered oneself to the level of a dog.
But Liyakade had transmigrated from modern society.
In the modern world, the obsession with foot worship had become a pathological phenomenon.
It had almost become a fetish.
Influenced by that era, how could Liyakade allow anyone to lick her shoe?
Especially a lecherous old man like this.
If it were Alice or Field licking her shoe, that might be acceptable.
No!
Liyakade quickly shook her little head to clear the lewd image from her mind.
She looked at Lei Ke Si, whom she had just kicked away.
She felt that letting this sleazy guy lick her shoe might even be a reward for him.
In short, even if he begged for mercy, there was no way she’d let him lick her shoe.
Lei Ke Si, who had been kicked away, secretly rejoiced.
He was glad the woman had kicked him away.
For him, kneeling before a woman and licking her shoe was a deeply humiliating act.
If not for survival, he would never do it.
If he had actually done it, once Liyakade fell into his hands, he planned to make her his toilet.
As he was kicked away, Lei Ke Si also took the chance to glance around.
He was checking whether the others were ready.
It seemed they still needed a bit more time.
He would have to sacrifice himself and stall a little longer.
“Lady, so… are you going to let me go?”
Lei Ke Si asked tentatively.
Actually, he didn’t think Liyakade would let him go.
Nor did he really care if she did.
He was just asking to distract her and buy time.
“Mm, anyway, you were just following orders. I’ll deal with Lord Walter myself later. Why bother with you underlings?”
Liyakade replied casually, indicating she didn’t care about their ambush.
Lei Ke Si’s eyes flickered.
Although he didn’t care whether Liyakade let him go, hearing her actually spare him did surprise him a little.
“Lady Liyakade is truly magnanimous! Thank you, Lady Liyakade, for sparing my life!”
Lei Ke Si shouted his thanks as he knelt and kowtowed heavily.
Of course, all of this was just a show.
Even if Liyakade had let him go, it only surprised him slightly.
In fact, Liyakade’s leniency only made Lei Ke Si disdain her even more.
In his eyes, this was unnecessary womanly kindness.
To forgive someone who meant you harm so easily.
No wonder women were said to be unable to accomplish great things.
Women were emotional creatures.
It was this excess of sentiment that clouded judgment and the bigger picture.
No wonder Liyakade possessed such terrifying power.
From a practical standpoint, she was even stronger than that person named Feide.
Yet she could only submit to Field.
This was the inherent weakness of women.
Lei Ke Si swore that once he subdued Liyakade, he would treat her well—roughly—making sure she experienced a pleasure that would drive her out of her mind.
However, Liyakade was also putting on an act.
She had no intention of letting Lei Ke Si go.
No, it wasn’t so much acting as she genuinely didn’t care about Lei Ke Si’s affairs.
Based on their energy perception, Lei Ke Si and his men must be plotting something in the shadows.
So whether she spared Lei Ke Si or not, they would probably still attack her.
Liyakade was rather curious to see what they would do.
She hoped they would provide her with a little entertainment, something to help her vent and calm down.
“Lady Liyakade, I have something to say, if I may.”
Lei Ke Si shuffled forward, cupped his hands, and looked up at Liyakade with a fawning expression, as if he wanted to tell her something.
“Go ahead.”
Liyakade waved her hand, signaling him to continue.
“Lady Liyakade, we might say we got to know each other through that fight.”
When she heard that, Liyakade almost lost her composure.
Who got to know each other through a fight?
As if she wanted to know him.
Though she was holding back, Liyakade was still curious about what Lei Ke Si wanted to say.
She hoped it would give her some entertainment.
“From your strength, you are no less than that noble named Feide. So why do you submit to him? If you’re looking for a man, that Feide isn’t worthy of you. You deserve a better man.”
“Hehehe.”
Liyakade gave a light laugh.
Seeing her charming smile, Lei Ke Si thought he had hit on her true feelings.
He believed she would let down her guard even more.
Little did he know, Liyakade was laughing out of anger.
As expected of someone who followed Vidar—just like Vidar, a bastard.
Women must attach themselves to a man.
As if they had no ability to live independently.
Not only that, but this guy suddenly came out with such talk.
She didn’t know if he was trying to provoke her or if he truly believed it.
In their eyes, women seemed to have no loyalty.
“My lady, what do you think?”
Seeing Liyakade smile, Lei Ke Si assumed he had convinced her.
He continued to coax her.
By now, he estimated that the other Dark Guards should be ready.
At his command, Liyakade would certainly be subdued, and then they could enjoy her at their leisure.
