What? We have to wait another half an incense stick? When I heard this news, I almost collapsed. I gritted my teeth and used the last bit of strength in my body to force myself to hold on. I couldn't let Liu Lieyu look down on me again.
I focused my gaze on the burning incense on the table. Was this the incense stick? I observed it for a while, but found that it was burning exceptionally slowly!
Why is it so slow? Is it because I've been staring at it the whole time?
Thinking this, I deliberately looked away to look elsewhere. After a while, I looked back and wondered why there were still so many?
My head was getting dizzier and my neck was sore. I shook my head hard to try and wake myself up.
Liu Lieyu and the white-bearded old man were talking about something, and the two were discussing it enthusiastically, but unfortunately, my ears were ringing and I couldn't hear a word.
Since losing my magic power, my body has become increasingly weak. I didn't realize it before because I was locked in my room. I just got out of bed and knocked on the door every day. Now that I think about it, I was probably already in poor physical condition and was also very sleepy.
I often fall asleep in my room because I have nothing to do, and sometimes I sleep for most of the day, which is very unusual for me.
I licked my dry lips. Did Liu Lieyu do something else to me besides removing my magic?
But why didn't I notice anything?
However, I immediately chuckled to myself. If these masters wanted to do something to my body, how would I know? My hand quietly moved to my index fingertip and began to caress it.
You, are you alright now? Are you trapped like I was back then?
"Your Majesty, would you like some water?" A light, melodious female voice brought a touch of coolness in the sweltering heat.
"Mm." I nodded, looking gratefully at the girl in front of me. Of all the people, only she had asked the question that touched my heart.
"Your Majesty, please." The girl was very quick and nimble, and soon handed me a glass of cold, sweet water.
The cool water moisturized my lips, instantly making them plump and juicy. My parched throat also calmed down after being soothed by the water.
"Your Majesty, would you like more?"
"Yes." I placed the quilt on the tray.
The girl nodded and quickly poured me another glass.
I drank four or five cups in a row before I felt a little better, but the soreness in my neck still didn't subside. Although I'm not thirsty now, I'm still dizzy and my ears are ringing.
I glanced at the incense on the table again. There was less than half left compared to before; it was almost completely burned out.
The conversation between Liu Lieyu and the white-haired old man had ended, and it's a pity I didn't hear a single word.
Liu Lieyu noticed me looking at him, and when he looked up, his eyes met mine. For a moment, I felt a little embarrassed and quickly looked down.
I felt Liu Lieyu's gaze lingering on me, and I felt incredibly tormented. Stop looking at me! Keep chatting with the old man, don't look at me, I'm invisible.
Unfortunately, reality always contradicts my expectations. Not only did Liu Lieyu not look away, he also moved, walking lightly towards me.
"Don't mess things up during the oath-taking ceremony," Liu Lieyu said coldly, stopping in front of me.
I pursed my lips and didn't say anything.
Liu Lieyu asked again, "Did you hear me?"
"I understand," I replied listlessly.
Liu Lieyu was probably used to me being like this. He looked at me, said nothing, and stood beside me, waiting for the so-called auspicious time with me.
