Chapter 12
Sakura was shivering in a sheet someone brought when Sasuke walked over and grabbed on her wrist.
She stared and followed as he pulled her out from the crowd, and everyone fell silent as they watched the Prince pulled her to his bed chambers and shut the door behind them with a loud bang.
Every knew what he was about to do and they think that girl is the luckiest girl in the world.
Sakura was completely dazed from everything just now, but when he saw Sasuke begin to take his clothes off, she understood.
Sasuke is impatient. He has been wanting to sleep with her for a while, but he never realized how much. He only cared about his own amusement and didn't give her much thought about it until today, her clothes were soaking wet and clinging onto her curves.
Even when turned on, he looked calm and intimidating.
Sakura first tried to stop him, "Royal Highness, please don't.."
He didn't listen. Of course he doesn't, he imagined every women who says that in bed meant the actual opposite.
Sakura honestly doesn't really want to be fucked in front of everyone. They're not watching, but they saw what he did and knows exactly what's about to happen. They're outside in the courtyard eating and drinking while listening to a girl being raped by a Prince.
Her feminist side came out and she pushed against him, "please, I don't want to-"
He ignored her and took off her wrap.
Then Sakura panicked, she raised her hand, and slapped him across the face.
Both he and Sakura were stunned.
He cannot believe that, the first time he was slapped in his life, it's by a concubine.
She cannot believe that the first time she slapped someone, it's a Prince.
It wasn't a hard slap, nor does it hurt. But the sound it made was loud and could be heard by everyone.
He stopped what he was doing and frowned.
"You've gone over my limit." He said, smoldering eyes staring down at Sakura.
Sakura shivered. "I.. I... what..."
Soon soldiers came into the chamber to inquire if there were any danger. They saw a shivering Sakura kneeling on the ground and a fuming Prince.
Sasuke raised his hand. Originally he wanted to have her beaten due to her outrageous disobedience, but he then changed his mind and said, "lock her in the wood shed. Teach her a lesson."
So Sakura was shoved into a wooden cabinet full of firewood. It wasn't particularly cozy because there were no place to lie down, and her clothes were still wet. But some of the servants who were nice to her give her a bowl of soup and a few dried sheets to sleep in. Apparently she's going to be here for a while.
The party ended on an unhappy note. Since the Prince was not happy, nobody else dare to smile.
Sasuke was going over these few days in his head, and decided that he has been too kind to her, and he spoilt her. He give her preferential treatment because he likes how she behaves, and now she's climbing over his head.
He was certain that she has been pulling a long con of getting him to sleep with her. As with practically every eligible female in this country.
It wasn't until as the rest of the day went on he realized how he was used to her presence. When she stood next to him, she knew exactly where to put his tea, how to flip his pages so the book doesn't crease, and where to put his afternoon tea so when she stirs it the hot steam doesn't affect him.
It's the little things she learnt over these days that makes her comfortable to be with. She knew him and observed him with her heart, and memorized his habits. He concluded she must have been so much in love with him that she was delirious from happiness, which resulted in today.
He doesn't know it's more out of fear.
But the new girl they called in to replace her was doing everything wrong, and he can't be bothered to correct her, so he gets and for no reason and yelled at her to get out of his sight and never come back again.
As the day went on he got madder and madder. Eventually he thinks Sakura might not learn her lesson alone in the woodshed. So he called on the butler to lecture her.

Sakura was falling asleep uncomfortably as sunset came when she was woken up by the butler. The butler came with a scroll from "Discipline of a Good Woman" and begin to lecture her and yell at her for her faults.
"You shall not refuse your husband if he wants to have his way... you have performed insane acts that ruined your reputation..."
Sakura understood as she was properly kneeling and listening, she was being yelled at. By him. Only he couldn't be bothered to do it in person so he has someone to do the yelling for him.
She listened to each word with humiliation, and when he was done, he rolled up the scrolls and said, "you may thank the prince for his wisdom and generosity."
Sakura bit her lips and swallowed her pride, "thank you." She knelt down and forced to place her head to the floor.
The butler walked with with soldiers in satisfaction.
Sakura hugged herself and cried herself to sleep on an empty stomach.
