Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella - Chapter 122

Nearly avoiding the flower pot that was able to fall upon her head made Moon Jiwoo relieved. Shock by the sudden incident, she could only be grateful towards her sharp reflex.

Her eyes stared at the broken pot and the soil that had spread over the ground along with the flower. Instantly, she raised her line of sight and looked upwards.

A figure of a maid running away fell in her eyes, and seeing that, she clenched her hand into a tight fist. Noticing how the maid was out of her sight, she decided to let it go past for this once and didn’t bother calling for her.

°°°

A sigh escaped from her mouth as she stepped into the garden. Finding this to be the only place with solace, she sat down under the tree and leaned against the trunk of the tree.

The entire week was filled with her trying to avoid the schemes of the maids. From falling flowers to making her trip on purpose, coupled with much more intense tricks, she was tired of facing it throughout the week.

Her muscles ached by now regardless of how quick her recovery was, and since Sookyung wasn’t in the palace for this complete time, she wasn’t able to complain to him.

Moon Jiwoo wanted to deal with the maids on her own, but she was completely unsure of what to do.

Once she tried to scold a maid after she had dropped a glass of water on her, but before Jiwoo was able to say anything, the maid disappeared from the scene.

If this were to be continued, Moon Jiwoo knew that she would be losing the total control over her anger, and a bloody fight will be starting in the palace. She was only slightly away from causing that ruckus.

Just now, she had escaped from a strange insect attack. Seeing how those insect was, she was still creeped out by now. Chills went down her back at the thought of them. Over her, the insects were worse than those on the surface.

Lately, she hadn’t been able to sleep properly in her room since the maids were adamant on letting not have even slight amount of peace. Every night, they made sure to create as much as noise as possible outside her room to leave her sleepless.

At moments like this, Jiwoo hated the sėnsɨtɨvė ears of her. If her ears were like before, she would have not ended up with the dark circles.

“You look dead tired. Is everything fine with you?”

Hearing that voice caused more anger to rise within Moon Jiwoo. Over this one week, she had grown to become quite familiar with the owner of the voice, and each time she heard the voice, an ominous feeling rose within her.

“Lee Kwangsoo, You Bastard, what the hell are you doing at here?” she questioned.

Along with Junghwa and the maids, this person took away the last thread of peace. Every time he got, he appeared before her after she got humiliated by the maids and tormented her by reminding her on how pathetic she seemed.

What she had grown to learn about him was that Lee Kwangsoo was a sadistic bastard who was fond of throwing people into trouble and an expert at rubbing salt into other people’s wounds.

Before he was able to come close to her, Jiwoo raised her leg and touched his abdomen with it. Then, glaring at him, she said, “Don’t think that I won’t wring your neck if you move a step closer to me, You Bastard.”

“Oh my! Did you make that my nickname? I have been hearing you frequently address me by that,” he commented.

“Yes, I think I must have. Got a problem with that, Bastard?” she raised one of her eyebrows.

“No, it’s cute,” he vocalised, “I heard that a little cute kitty got frightened to death by some mere insects. I am here to check up on her. I don’t mean any harm.”

“Fuck off, You bastard. No one needs you to take care of them,” Jiwoo voiced out, lowering her leg.

Seeing him at here, Jiwoo wondered about what tricks the male was up to this time around. Whatever it was, Jiwoo was sure that it wasn’t anything good.

“You don’t need to appear that cautious in my presence. I am seriously have no bad intentions this time around,” he stated, sitting down in front of her.

Continuing to stare at him fiercely, she expressed, “Who allowed to sit down at there? Get away from here!”

“The more you send me away, the more attracted I am towards you,” he voiced out, “It makes me want to see your tear stained face more.”

Watching the man before her, she wondered what quality of hers had attracted the pervert and said, “You are seriously gross! Just go play around with someone else.”

“I wonder if I will be able to do that. No one can even come close to that charm of yours. Everytime I look at you, I am unable to tear my eyes away from you. I wonder how one person can be that mesmerising,” he spoke out.

Bringing his face nearer to hers, he stared at her intensely, and creases formed between both of her eyebrows at that. On a closer inspection, Jiwoo found his face being quite handsome.

“Your lips look delicious,” he said.

Moon Jiwoo was completely taken aback by those words of his, and her eyes widened. She did not expect for the man to flirt at here. Any sarcastic, teasing, or rude remarks would have been more suitable.

“What the hell are you saying?”

“You seem nervous,” he stated, “Could it be that you are tempted? I wouldn’t be blaming you if you are. Some say that I am like a drug. Would you like to try out this drug.”

“Drug?”

He nodded his head, and before Moon Jiwoo was able to say something, he did something taking her by utter shock.

Raising his hand, he displayed an insect in front of her face, and taken by shock, a gasp escaped from her mouth. Her eyes dilated due to horror, and seeing how scary the insect was, she squealed.

As he brought the insect closer to her, she jumped back, and her head hit against the tree trunk. A sharp pain went through her head, and it seems that she had underestimated the strength she used to hit her head against the tree trunk.

Her vision started to get blurry all of a sudden, and soon enough, her eyes closed shut. Coupled with how tired she had grown to become over the week, there was no way she was able to maintain her consciousness any longer.

Feeling something heavy on her hand, Jiwoo let out a groan and slowly opened her eyes. The smell of disinfectants reached into her nose, and she wondered about where she currently was.

Jiwoo found herself being slightly relaxed since it had been a long time since she was able to take a peaceful rest.

Turning left, she noticed that Oh Sookyung was seated beside her, and it seemed that it was him who was holding her hand throughout the entire time. The though of that got her heart to beat rapidly.

“How do you feel right now? When I first heard that you fainted, I did not believe it,” he voiced out, “But then, I decided to check up on you. How could you have fainted? I thought that you knew how to take care of yourself well. But it seems that I can’t trust you with at least this much. What should I do next? Hire a babysitter for you.”

“You are talking way too much, and as you can see, I am fine right now. It’s just the fatigue that piled up right now, and this is your fault! Why did you suddenly disappear without letting me know about it? I won’t talk to you again for that!” Jiwoo vocalised.

“Ah! I am sorry for that. I thought that it would be only for few hours when that Han Sungmin dragged me away, but who knew that it would be lasting for an entire week? I don’t want to be a king anymore. This is too tiring! But now I back for good.”

He let out a groan.

Moon Jiwoo was able to inform him about all the mischief pulled at here, but she decided to stay silent this time around. The dark circles under his eyes were worse than hers, and the fatigue was clearly visible on his face. Despite that, he decided to wait up on her instead of resting.

Now that Sookyung was here, the maids might not do anything outrageous, and she would be able to deal with the simple things.
