Chapter 123

Elena’s POV

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Duchess Diana,” I formally greeted and lowered my head in traditional respect.

I heard her scoff as her nails made sounds as she tapped them on the gold armrest of her chair. “Raise your head. I want to see the face that bewitched my son.”

I forced a smile and internally stopped myself from showing the annoyance that was slowly building up within me from the real meanings under her words that I vividly understood.

She leaned her back to the chair and raised her chin with her thumb and index finger while she narrowed her eyes and looked at me from head to toe like she was examining an object she wanted to buy from an auction.

“Hmph. Seductive, yes…” Standing up, she slowly approached me and walked around me. With a sharp tongue, she leaned forward and hissed beside my car, “But seductive doesn’t mean worthy.”

I kept any composure and met her eyes without fear. “That wasn’t my intention, Duchess. I didn’t seduce your son, nor do I have any plans to do so. I just stand by his side and support him in his battles.”

She halted and faced me, lips pursing in anger and eyes blazing with scrutiny. “How dare you argue with me in my own residence? You think that mouth makes you brave?”

The countless gold bangles on her wrist made a clinking sound as she angrily pointed a finger at me.

Despite that, I kept my composure and quietly replied, “I dare not argue, Duchess. I am only speaking the truth.” “You insolent little bitch!” She raised her hand and was ready to strike.

I didn’t blink or avoid her attack. Instead, I kept my cool and just when her palm was an inch away from my face, I raised mine and stopped her by holding her wrist as gently as I could.”

“Please, Duchess. If I displeased you and you are that eager to strike me, perhaps find a servant.” Meeting her eyes, I smiled a little as I continued, “I’d hate for you to hurt yourself.”

She shook even more with anger upon hearing my voice. “You-” She could even form a word while pointing a finger at me.

Stepping back, I let go of her hand and explained, “Please understand my concern, Duchess. I’ve been trained in martial arts for years. I’m a warrior who has a master who specialisms in the art of internal force, and so not even a claw can hurt me that easily. I just don’t want to be the cause of you hurting your hand when you strike my face.”

Her eyes widened, and the veins on her neck protruded on her skin. “You-! Guards!”

I hid a laugh when she actually called a guard, and in an instant, there were two of them who rushed forward and waited for her order.

Glaring at me, she ordered, “Hit this insolent stunk as hard as you can until she vomits that pride out of her stinky mouth!”

Bowing down, the two guards replied, “As you commanded-”

Without hesitation, the bulkier guard stood in front of me without fear and went forward to slap me as hard as he could. This time, I didn’t do anything and stood still, waiting for his attack.

But as soon as his hand was a millimetre away from my face, he stumbled back and crouched down while holding the hand he used to slap me. He was in so much pain that he couldn’t contain his scream.
