Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella - Chapter 124

Moon Jiwoo thought wrong because even with Oh Sookyung present at here, the maids’ tricks hadn’t gone down, and no longer Jiwoo was unable to bear with them.

When Moon Jiwoo noticed how rock pieces were present inside her soup, she instantly slammed her hand on the table and called all the servants that was responsible for her meal.

Currently, she was in the dining room, and while she was seated upon the chairs, she stared at the three figure before her— two kitchen maid who were responsible for her food.

While her eyes glared at them, she questioned, “Who ordered you to add rocks to my meal?”

At her question and the pressure her presence emitted that instant, the maids quickly went down to their knees and bowed before her once.

“Forgive us, Shin Daerin-ssi. We really did not intend to do something like that,” one of the maids started, “It seems that we have created a mistake this once. Please spare us.”

“Why? Just so that you will be able to create such mistakes again. You do realize that the palace is not a charity organization. Incompetent people shouldn’t be kept at here. Maybe I should get Oh Sookyung to fire both of you.

I might not be an important person, but what if you did this someone else? I am sure this would only be bringing shame upon Oh Sookyung. As his protector, it is also my job to protect his reputation. Make sure to pack up your bags and leave. That’s all.”

Both of the maid’s eyes widened due to the horror, and their face had grown pale. They had a difficulty comprehending what they had just heard. Although they had pulled a small prank, they did not expect for her to go that far.

“Please spare me, Shin Daerin-ssi. I really had no idea about this. It was her who had done it. I swear I had no intentions behind this. Everything is her fault. How can I dare to scheme against someone like you?” One of the maids acted fast and vocalised.

“How dare you? You liar, it’s you who have done. Although I knew about it, I am innocently, Daerin-ssi. Why would I try to plot against you? This servant doesn’t dare.” The maid shook her head.

“It seems that I am losing my touch because of how lenient I am being these days. I thought being sweet worked, but who knew that it only brought more trouble. I shouldn’t have tried to handle things in these lame ways. My previous ways were really the best.

Be glad that I am kicking you out of here only, and not ripping every single hair of yours before doing so. If you dėsɨrė to work so much at here, why don’t you go and talk to Junghwa bitch about it? Maybe if she has authority in this place, she will be able to do so.”

“Please don’t do this to me, Shin Daerin-ssi. I really have no connection to Junghwa-ssi. She might be close to her, but that’s not the same for me. I only favour you, Daerin-ssi.”

“Yah! Why are you lying this time around? It was you who worshipped Junghwa-ssi last time around when I told you stay away from her.

Don’t listen to her words, Daerin-ssi. It’s me who is completely loyal to you, and about such a mistake, I will be putting extra care so that this doesn’t happen again.”

Moon Jiwoo let out a chuckle in that instant, and raising her hand, she ran her finger through her hair. An amused look sat in her eyes while she neared her hand towards on of the maids and grabbed on to her chin.

Pulling the maid’s face closer to her, Jiwoo smirked and voiced out, “Doesn’t those rumours call me a bitch? So, why don’t I become a real bitch? That would be making it a reality, instead of a rumour.”

Chills went down both of their backs at Jiwoo’s words and the look in her eyes. In that moment, they started to regret pulling such a prank on her.

They thought that she was the easy to bully type, but her tone currently showed how that was not the case. It appeared that she was quite experienced with people like them.

Moon Jiwoo let out a sigh, and removing her hand from the maid’s face, she said, “Fine, I will be kind for one last time. If you dare to lick my shoes one time, I will be sparing you. Who will be brave enough to go for that? If not, leave this mansion, right now!”

“Shin Daerin, you really created a disaster this time around,” Sookyung voiced out once she stepped into his study.

Oh Sookyung made his way over to the couch and took the seat opposite to the girl. A small smile was present on his face.

“I was just playing around a little. Didn’t you say that I was allowed to do whatever I wanted at here? I was trying to abuse that authority. Why? Did you think that I have gone too far and now I am not allowed to create any ruckus?”

Opening her eyes, she folded her hands over her ċhėst, and raising one of her eyebrows, she stared at him. A chuckle escaped from his lips while he shook his head.

“No, I am wondering what reputation this palace will be having from now on. You made four maids bald, had two of them make out with each other, said four maids to sleep outside with the insects, and fired five of them. I wonder what all you have planned inside that mind of yours.”

“That’s all? I thought that I have done worse, but it appears to be merely my wishful thinking. I think this is not enough to scare all of those brave maids at here. Maybe I need to think for something much more extreme for the next time,” she voiced out.

“If you keep up with that, I am afraid that no one would be willing to work at the palace again,” he expressed, “Why didn’t you tell me about it and suffer though, You idiot? I could have taken care of it with the snap of my finger.”

‘Because I didn’t want to worry and trouble you about the measly things when you already have both of your hands full with work.’

“Isn’t that because of how cool it made me seem? You should have been now scared they have been. Ah! That feels really pleasing to me. I really missed this feeling of superiority!” she expressed.

“Don’t be a that obvious when you are lying at least. You think that I am unable to see how hurt you are from this. You didn’t want to do this in the beginning.

Isn’t that why you have held yourself? But you weren’t unable to do it any longer. You really got better at controlling your temper,” he spoke out.

Moon Jiwoo immediately lowered her line of sight, and staring down at the floor, she could feel her cheeks slowing heating up.

She then mumbled, “Why are you this good at reading me, You Bastard?”

Bringing his hand over to her, he grabbed on to both of her cheeks and pinched them before saying, “Isn’t that because we are meant to be?”

“Liar. If that was the case, I would be able to read you as well, but you are really hard to figure out,” she pointed out before mumbling, “It was better when you were that foolish kid. Now, it’s just feels that you are growing more distant to me. You said that I shouldn’t think of leaving you, but it seems that you will be one doing that. Isn’t that unfair?”

“Aw! Is that how you feel right now? This is so cute,” he vocalised, “My heart is almost about to jump out of my ċhėst right now due to how fast it is beating. Don’t worry!

The last thing I will do is leaving you, and if me being a King burdens you, just let me know about it. I have no problem about letting others know about it.”

“You bastard, how can you say that this easily? Do you know all the troubles I went through to make you the damned king? All of this will be useless I’d you give up your position, and realistically speaking, it’s impossible for you to accomplish such a feat,” she said.

“You doubting my abilities hurts yet makes me enthusiastic at the same time,” he voiced out, “Maybe I should actually do it to prove it to you.”

“Just don’t think about something as crazy as that, and forget about what I have said before.”

“How can do that? Every word from you is precious to me.”
