Chapter 85: Productive Discussion
" Not just a Woman? What do you mean by that?", Xing snorted, "And go sit in your ’Dragon throne’ or whatever! You are making me uncomfortable standing and staring at me like that! ", she stood up and waved her hands for him to move. She already has enough people to look at her with reverence.
"I meant it as a compliment", he said and sat on his chair obediently as if it was a natural thing,
"By the way, the reports of grey wolf attacks from the East are increasing and I’m being forced to repudiate the law banning the hunting of grey wolves in our kingdom. I’m telling you because you seem to.... control them? And.. ", the Emperor paused as Xing shouted,
" You can’t! ",
Xing placed her hands on his table," Control them?", she asked knitting her brows. How did he arrive to such conclusion? Did brother say something to him?
" Back during my stay near your village, I saw a pack of wolves forming a perimeter around our camp. Is it not your doing?", he asked raising his eyebrows. He wanted to ask about it for a long time.
"Ah! That’s how!", Xing nodded relieved, ’Guess brother is not a blabbermouth’,
"I don’t control them but I ask them for help from time to time", she smiled sweetly remembering the pack near her home, "Ah! I miss pengpeng!", she paused for a moment but then her face turned serious... If he means the East, then pengpeng’s brother is the leader of the pack there. Their pack had strict rules that they cannot even hurt humans much less kill them,
" The wolves... never... I mean it.. Never... Kill humans! You cannot let the humans kill them", she spoke pointing her hands at the Emperor and her eyes glistened inside that bright room with concern and confidence.
"Ha", the Emperor snorted, "You weren’t this zealous to defend your family yesterday", he rested his chin on his hands and looked at her with a playful grin and pushed the memorials in front of him towards her with his other hand.
