Chapter 29 It was Hard to Kneel Like This For her to not believe that the reason Pu Yangyue was willing to come off his high horse and allow Princess b.u.t.terfly to call Bai Languo “sister” was out of pure kindness, he could understand. But it was unexpected that Bai Languo would be this resistant and disdainful. “What? Do you think I’m a fool? If the princess calls me sister, and you are her father, should I call you father like her? Oh my G.o.d, I’m not going to do that. If I did, my father would be very sad. Don’t even think about it!” Pu Yangyue’s face immediately turned black, and he was slightly angry. “What the h.e.l.l are you thinking?” “Whatever I’m thinking, I won’t let you take advantage of me,” Bai Languo said with determination. Pu Yangyue was utterly speechless and didn’t want to be entangled with her any more. So he told the old housekeeper to urge her and the princess to take the punishment seriously and then went away indifferently. After half an hour, Bai Languo and the princess knelt on the graveled path in the garden behind the prince’s palace at dusk. Even if they already had sore waists, a compressed feeling in their chests, and their legs became numb, they dared not get up. “Alas, when can we get up? I can’t feel my knees anymore,” Bai Languo asked for answers from the experienced princess. According to her personal and rich experience, Princess b.u.t.terfly offered weighty advice. “Once our knees have merged with the gravel, we can go.” “Okay! I’m merged with the gravel now, so I’m leaving. Keep on fighting! Goodbye!” After listening to what she said, Bai Languo was in high spirits immediately. She really wanted to escape, so she tried her best to stand up. Then she found that it was painful to merge her knees with gravel, because her calf and thigh seemed to have been completely disconnected. It was not easy for her to get up, and soon she directly fell face down on the ground again. It was not too bad, because she knew that even if you fell there, you could still get up from there. But what was really sad was that the old housekeeper’s voice came from behind with irresistible power, “Miss Bai, if you don’t kneel for two hours, you just have to turn left and leave the Palace of the Prince.” d.a.m.n it! Bai Languo cursed fiercely at the bottom of her heart. “How could he actually want to chase me away? I have to stay to fight for him!” So she knelt down again with great courage. This time her knees were quite painful, and the pain spread all over her body soon. At the beginning, the pain went from outside to inside, but at last even her stomach began to ache. “Ouch, I can’t stand it. I have a stomachache. I want to eat!” “If you keep on kneeling for more than an hour, you can have dinner,” the old housekeeper said. “If I kneel for another hour, I will starve to death. It doesn’t matter if I’m hungry, but what about Princess b.u.t.terfly? Our princess has never suffered like this; alas, she . . . ” “I can stand it.” Bai Languo originally wanted to show the white feather and beg for mercy. However, to her amazement, her battle plan hadn’t been implemented yet, as Princess b.u.t.terfly voluntarily declared that she was still strong enough to kneel down. Bai Languo glared at the princess indignantly and complained, “It doesn’t matter to me that you want to starve to death, but I want to save my life to be your father’s bodyguard, who is brave and skillful in battle! By the way, he is cruel enough. If I die of hunger, who will protect him in the future? It’s getting dark now. He must be having tasty food and strong drinks now.” “Miss Bai, you needn’t complain. The prince is waiting in the dining hall for you to finish the punishment and have dinner together.” Hearing her uncomfortable voice, the old housekeeper had to come forward to clarify all this on behalf of his owner. In the meantime, he did not forget to express his grievances, saying, “I’m as hungry as you are.”
