Chapter 254: Locked Up (3)
There were only a handful of people who were allowed to touch Cecilia the 11th’s body. Which was understandable, given that there was barely anything that was more important than both her body and her health. It was to the point that there was a specific term to refer to her body; the empress’ body.
This was why no one would ever have the chance to touch even the tip of her hair, save for doctors and the maids who directly attended to her.
With that in mind…
What this man was doing—approaching her and raising her chin with the tip of his finger—was practically lèse-majesté.
But, the strange thing here was how Cecilia the 11th was just letting him do whatever he wanted without saying anything.
…Ah…
When her eyes met Dowd Campbell’s eyes, she unknowingly swallowed dryly.
She could see his stern gaze, making her feel that he was trying to show her that he was clearly at the ‘top’ here, and was ‘looking down’ on her.
Given the status she was born and grown up with, she knew that she should’ve felt offended by this, that she had to put him in his place due to how discourteous his actions were.
