So for a day or so. I look around try to familarize with the situation I stuck my toes into. Not bad, Not bad! The architecture and the buildings are quite good. Not bad my ass!! I was finally loosing my brain cells. I mean this maid who introduced herself as Ling Ling, who the hell calls themself that? Anyways is stuck to me like glue. I mean I was happy and all trying to rizz my way up but turns out she was 15. Soooo yeah noo. She is simply too dumb. I didn't notice her appearance due to my slightly concussion-ed brain but YUPP. It's definitely a child labour. But what do I know?
Few of the things I noticed after trying my best to gather best information is that. This palace is Hugeeeeee and not lacking in anyway. I mean I know for a fact that I am the least favorite concubine or consort whatever but this place no matter how I look at it is so magnanimous. And my courtyard is not the only one here.
Shin Ruyan "Is this the harem of the king?"
Ling Ling " Oh it's the courtyard of other concubines of his majesty . As you are a male concubine It's slightly farther from others,your highness."
Shin Ruyan dismissively " I see"
Ling ling "..."
" Your highness, I would also like to mention that his Majesty is coming to visit you tomorrow to check up on your health condition "
What? I am not ready to see 'my husband' yet?
Shin Ruyan " Tell him. There's no need."
Ling ling falls on her knees and begs" I apologise for my incompetence your grace. This servant cannot possibly refuse his majesty's Goodwill."
'Goodwill my ass. He probably wants to assert dominance and mock me. This sadistic son of a gun.' "Okay no problem. You can attend to your business."

Shin Ruyan went to the courtyard of other beauties trying to fish out this 'so-called king's temperament. There he saw one very strict but attractive looking, in her mid 20's dressed in golden robe with a beautiful eagle's embroidery in her clothes. She seemed to be scolding to what looked like a maid in pink and blue clothes. Although the clothes weren't identical but they looked somewhat similar to his own personal maid Ling Ling.
As he was trying to catch a glimpe of the Lady who looked anything but docile, her sharp features were somewhat intimidating yet alluring. She suddenly looked towards his direction and looked somewhat astonished.
" Didn't expect to see his esteemed-self here. What brings you here?" Her words filled with mockery.
Now that lady was his type right there. The commanding yet pretty voice which makes one want to call her 'mommy'. Well he couldn't just say he was running playing detective all alone when he unexpectedly stumbled on to her. He assumed she was one of the wives of that king.
" I was just passing by and happen to run into you here. Can't say it was completely unintentional though. " he replied with a smirk.
He was fooling no one with this sentence but wasn't technically false. The Lady infront of him seemed to be flabbergasted as if not even expecting him to reply.
"Then what is it that you can say?" She retaliated somewhat amused.
" I can probably say it was pretty worth it."He replied smugly.
Lady"...". She was perplexed with the sheer audacity of the man who couldn't even utter simple words in her presence.
