The Lord's Concubine
The King's Threat

In the wake of his afternoon break, Ivan still took the time to see his doctor. He told Farra how the condition of his feet to the doctor.

Luckily the doctor understood and he immediately prescribed the medicine to Ivan. After redeeming the medicine, Ivan returned to the office and resumed his work.

Afternoon.

After delivering the Lord King to his luxurious residence, Ivan rushed to meet Farra who was still struggling with his work secretly.

The threat of Lord King this morning made Ivan's guts slightly shrivel. Not because he was afraid of being fired, but he was afraid that Farra would be the man's moons.

"Farra, I'm sorry for not being able to keep my promise. The Lord King will not allow me to call you the Doctor. So, with great constancy I can only redeem this medicine. But you take it easy, said Doctor this is the best medicine and at most 2-3 days ahead, your legs will return to normal," said Ivan.

Farra's teary eyes looked at Ivan who was standing before her. He did not know how to repay the man.

"Yes, Lord .. I don't know what to say, Mr. Ivan. I also don't know how to repay all your kindness to me."

"Just take that medicine regularly, that's enough for me. Because that way, it means you have appreciated my help that is not so much," said Ivan while patting slowly Farra's shoulder.

"Of course, sir. I will definitely take this medicine regularly. And thank you so much for all your help."

"Together."

Ivan turned his head to the right and left making sure Lord King was not around the place. "All right, I better get home. Take care of yourself, Farra."

"Yes, Sir. Thank you" said Farra, inserting Ivan's medicine into her pocket.

After Ivan died, Farra returned to his room and then kept the drug under his pillow. After performing the ritual of bathing and dressing, Farra tried to rest her already very tired body.

He leaned against the wall of the room by straightening his two legs which were still sore. Farra remembered the medicine given by Ivan which she had kept under her pillow.

"Oh yes, the drug. I almost forgot" Farra murmured, taking the medicine from under her pillow. After reading the instructions on the medicine package, Farra immediately took a sip of the medicine.

The girl lay her body on the bed and tried to close her eyes which were already starting to feel heavy.

Meanwhile in the main room, where the King was still sitting pensively on the edge of the bed while thinking about the togetherness of Ivan and Farra this morning. His face looked very upset and he thought he wanted to see the girl in his room immediately.

"I must meet Farra and the girl must be commemorated, otherwise she will definitely repeat her deed!" muttered King.

Without a second thought, the King got up and came out of his room. Vania, who had just finished her bathing ritual, looked in surprise at her husband who had left their room in a hurry.

Just as Farra had fallen asleep to dreamland, she was suddenly startled by the sound of a door being pushed very hard.

Brakk!

Suddenly the girl got up from the bed then leaned against the wall of the room while holding her chest. Farra's heart was beating very fast and her entire body felt weak.

Farra looked at the King who was now standing right in front of her with an annoyed face. He did not know what he had done wrong until the man looked very angry at him.

"What were you doing with Ivan this morning, huh? Tell me honestly because if you dare to lie to me then I will not hesitate to punish you, Farra," he snapped as he approached the girl.

Farra's body trembled violently, let alone the man with the grim face being so close to her. "We didn't do anything, Tu-tuan," said Farra with trembling lips.

"Lied!" the king shouted beside Farra's ear while hitting the wall where the girl was leaning.

Farra shook her head with her eyes closed. At this time he had given up whatever the King would do to him.

"I'm not lying, sir. Me and Mr. Ivan just talk."

The king laughed sinisterly while continuing to look at Farra's face which was now only a few cent away from her body.

"Do you think I'm so stupid that I don't know that guy has dared to touch your feet, huh? Lucky tonight I'm still good to you, Farra. If not, I could have broken your leg!" threatening the King was full of pressure.

Farra had tried her best not to cry in front of the man. However, the pain he felt at this time, made the girl unable to stem the clear liquid to not fall from her closed eyes.

"Remember, Farra! This time I forgive your mistakes, but if next time you let yourself be touched by other men, especially Ivan! Then I promise I won't hesitate to punish you! You hear that?!" ivan continued while grabbing Farra's bowed face.

Farra nodded quickly and hoped that the man would quickly leave her room.

"Good! Be a good wife, Farra. And follow what I say."

The king harshly removed Farra's face and sauntered away leaving the room and returned to his room. Farra's body fell down, she cried while burrowing her face into the pillow.

That night Farra kept watch. He even held back his drowsiness for fear of the Lord King coming back again and doing things he did not want.
