Chloe, The Thief Lady - Chapter 7-2

Chapter 7: I Want You to Learn How to Obey Properly (2)

“What the hell are you doing during the day?”

“Don’t make that look!”

“This look? My usual ‘I’m worried’ expression?”

Rayleigh looked at Roy’s crawling almost like a four-legged beast, and looked upset. Where did she get beaten up? He was really dumbfounded because the stupid look on her face.

“It’s not about digging up your identity. Roy, you haven’t had an uninjured body except for the first day.”

“Ah… I mean, I’m in a very… clean business. Don’t worry, just give me your orders!”

Contrary to the reliable tone of voice, Roy got up on the sofa and grunted, “Huff…”

“Huff?”

He swore he has never seen anyone make such a noise with his mouth.

“Let’s hear it, Your Highness.”

“It’s too loud to listen to. How can you climb over the wall and bring treasure with such a body?”

“Well?”

“Oh, my God.”

“Don’t ignore it. Your Highness! Even if I look like this, I’m the best…”

“The best?”

She almost stopped talking because of his disregarding tone. A cold sweat dripped.

“The best at what?”

“Your Highness’ best man.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Do you have a subordinate other than me? I mean, trust me.”

Chloe opened her eyes as if she was pushing Rayleigh.

“Aren’t they usually called an aide, not a subordinate?”

With a faint sigh, Rayleigh pressed his eyebrows firmly. It was only for a short time that he felt relieved.

“By the way, Roy, what the hell is wrong with you?”

As the attention turned to her again, Chloe raised her voice.

“I’m not an aide, you know? Who makes an aide steal?”

Rayleigh shook his head and didn’t answer. He just went to the bedside table and pulled out something.

“Okay. I understand. So sit down, subordinate. I’ll take a look.”

“No, thanks.”

Chloe shook her hands and refused. Today, because of Rosie’s demeanor, she hadn’t been able to enter the office even once and had been rolling in the training hall all day. She said she had lost her sense of feeling and literally rolled to death. Since she came to the capital, she wore a dress and fluttered her fan, then she moved properly after a long time and her whole body was in chaos. Her fingertips were flapping and her legs were shaking. It’s painful, but there’s no other way but to keep training until she’s strong again. The point is that time is the best medicine and isn’t ‘medicine’ helpful? Moreover, this man in front of her was particularly annoying in many ways because he was quick-witted and clever. If he notices anything, she will be in trouble.

“It’s not broken or cut.”

“I know.”

“…what?”

“If it’s broken, you will not be able to walk, and if it is cut, it will smell.”

He’s sensitive to smell. Rayleigh laughed as he tapped on the tip of his nose, but Chloe could not laugh at all.

“I…”

“Sit down Roy.”

“Your Highness.”

“Sit down. Before I decide to dig into your identity.”

This Theodore guy! She really hated the additional sounds as if it’s obvious what would happen.

“No way, if this was an operation to arouse curiosity, it would have been a success.”

“Sit down! Sit down, uh. I’m sitting down.”

Chloe sat in a chair, gritting her teeth at Rayleigh’s gentle threats. The moment she sat down in a hurry with her knees bent, her muscles screamed from all sides.

“Ugh.”

“…Really, how did you come today with that body?”

“Well?”

“Do you want to get my attention that much?”

“Oh huh, stop saying such a mean thing, Your Highness. I am serious. I’m satisfied. How the hell am I supposed to explain this?”

While grunting, Rayleigh suddenly opened the bottle he had in his hand and put the contents on his palm.

“Eat.”

What he offered was a pill. Instead of criticizing, Chloe quickly ate what he had given. She’s such a fool. She snorted inside for a second. Chloe was amazed that the feeling of the pain she had felt throughout her body was fading.

“Wait, what is this?”

There is no medicine that can cure muscle pain. By the way, how can the pain disappear so fast? Chloe backed away from her seat. The dagger in her belt was already removed.

“What is this?!”

If the medicinal effect worked, it meant it was already melted and absorbed, so she could not vomit it up. Rayleigh’s gaze at Chloe’s dagger was as cool as ever.

“It’s a faded honor, but I didn’t know it was this ridiculous.”

“Oh my God, there is no medicine like this in this world! What did you feed me?!”

“Roy, I think you should put that dagger up.”

“Answer me quickly!”

“Roy-”

The end of the sentence seemed to be strangely stretched; Chloe was struck and thrown to the floor.

“Ooh!”

“Put the dagger back in.”

Again, Chloe was completely overpowered by Rayleigh. It was like the day they first met, but Rayleigh’s gaze over Chloe was more fierce today.

“Roy. Either you trust me more, or maybe you’d better learn to obey properly.”

“Ugh!”

His knees shrank and tightened her waist mercilessly. It did not hurt, but she was suffocated.

“What do you want?”

Underneath the lowered eyelids, the pale pupils were burning blue.

“I saved you, the assassin, and take you seriously.”

“Ugh!”

“I sympathize with your feelings of resentment, highly appreciate your skill, and wrote a contract.”

When Chloe’s breathing was all over the place, Rayleigh lowered his head slowly.

“For you who are sick, I have given you a special medicine to relieve the pain, but in return I am being doubted. What should I do with this?”

“Such drugs, uh, where are you, uh huh.”

“Illuminem.”

“What?”

Oh, my God! Have you seen a motherfucker like this! Chloe’s eyes cracked horribly. Illuminem was a famous poisonous plant.
