Chapter 543: THE PEACEFUL NIGHT
Nala knew this merchant was a little bit... out of ordinary, but his sense of humor was something that she couldn’t comprehend at all. His jokes could be so dark and he would say them with a straight face, which would make the other people think he was serious about what he was saying.
"How can I take that as a joke? Who would make jokes like that?" Nala felt her heart almost stop beating.
"I would."
Nala took a deep breath and stared at the little bottle in Lou’s hand, which he played between his fingers. "What is that?"
"Hair tonic," Lou replied nonchalantly, as he leaned his back against the pillow and raised the bottle in his hand, as the light from the luminous pearls glinted off of it.
"Lou!"
"For your breasts. So, they will get bigger. They are too small for my liking."
"Lou!" Nala felt so embarrassed. No one had ever talked like that about her.
Finally, Lou shifted his attention toward Nala and tilted his head, as he dropped the bottle back into her hands. He looked lazy and bored. "This is for your scar. This is very expensive, so if you break it, I will send you to a brothel to work in order to pay me back. Don’t throw it away again."
Nala looked so hurt with the way Lou threatened her, but it was not something that she couldn’t endure. She had gone through worse and if she could say, the way she lived in the palace was no different from a brothel. The only difference was; the men there were of high status, but their morale was on the same level as those men, who came to the brothels.
That was why Nala was genuinely attracted to Alpha Cane. Despite her mission from the King, she really wanted to know why the Alpha didn’t even take a second glance at her or any other woman.
