Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella - Chapter 143

The palace felt almost empty to Moon Jiwoo right now, and it seemed that the guards at all the doorway was increased by triple the amount. To say that Oh Sookyung was going overboard right now felt like an understatement to her.

There were bȧrėly any servants left, and it seemed that he was being honest when he mentioned that he will be almost clearing out all of the servants.

Although Moon Jiwoo felt as if he was exaggerating the situation, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t grateful to him for his actions, and as much she wouldn’t be admitting it vocally, it managed to make her heart flutter.

Where will she be finding a man who paid as much as attention to him as her? Although he was fond of teasing her a lot, he made up for that part by putting extra care on to it.

Moon Jiwoo was well aware of how dismissing all of those servants was definitely not a easy task for him and definitely have cost some losses upon his side as well. But for the sake of her safety, he was willing to go through this extent.

No matter how much she thought about it, this felt totally romantic and fluttering to her, and next time she saw him, she wondered how she will be resisting herself from him.

Holding her cheeks with both of her hands, she felt them getting warm as she thought of what the man had done for her over this period of time, and while clutching on to her cheeks tightly, she let out a giggle.

“I already told him not to go overboard for me, but it seems that he is not able to hold himself back when it comes to me. What do I do with such a man? It seems that he is totally enamored by me.

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? Aigoo! Why do I have to be this charming? Moon Jiwoo, when will you learn to play with men’s heart this badly? Ah! I feel so bad for Oh Sookyung for being this enthralled by me.

If he likes me this much right now, I wonder how he will be going on the future. Aish! That man is making me feel bad for him. What can I do? It seems that I have to take care of him for the entire future.

This is troublesome, but since I am kind, I don’t think that I will be able to leave him anymore. Geez! Who told that man to love this much? No, how can I blame him? This is all my fault for being this irresistible. Poor Sookyung,” she mumbled to herself while wearing a wide smile on her face.

Her facial expressions showed how happy she was in that instant, and it was difficult for her to not squeal right then. She wanted to jump around and shout about how much Oh Sookyung loved her.

But due to the piece of sanity she had within herself, she prevented herself from doing something like this. Although the palace bȧrėly had any people around, it didn’t imply that it was completely empty, and in such a place, rumours tend to spread at a scary rate.

“You tend to say really interesting things when you are alone.”

Hearing that voice out of nowhere caught her by surprise completely, and gasp escaped from her mouth as she turned backward. The smile and cheerful expression on her face was gone totally, and was replaced with horror.

This was totally humiliating to her!

Seeing Oh Jihoon over here was one of those things she never expected. It was not as if he wasn’t able to come at here. But with the tight security around, she believed that he would not be allowed to enter into the garden.

But it appeared that the rules did not apply to him. Did that mean Oh Sookyung trusted the man or was it because of the guards around were slacking off?

Either way, she did not hate seeing him at here. Moon Jiwoo did not know the reason behind it, but she found herself holding trust in the man before her although it was strange. There was no reason for her to do so, but she was unable to help that.

Maybe his appearance had influenced her decision, but Moon Jiwoo did not care whether or not she was being shallow right now.

If it was not for the fact that he had caught her in an embarrassing situation, she would have been overjoyed by his appearance right now for spending time with him was one of those things she looked quite forward to.

“Ah! This is humiliating! Why didn’t you make any noise or anything? Can you delete all that from your mind?” Moon Jiwoo voiced out while red began to cover her cheeks.

He chuckled and voiced out, “Don’t worry! I will try not to bring up about it again, but somehow this goes along well with your personality.”

“I am not sure whether or not should be taking that as a compliment. Do you mean that I am someone who does crazy things like this?

I am pretty sure that I am off in the head after hearing that, but just think of this as me playing around. Of course, I bȧrėly do things like this. I was just caught up in the moment and really happy!”

“No, it was cute,” he spoke out, “And being a little crazy when you were too happy is nothing big. You don’t need to appear too embarrassed about it. I am pretty sure everyone has moments like this as well.”

Moon Jiwoo’s eyes started to sparkle at those words of his, and turning her head to face the man, she stared at him with expectation in her eyes. The corner of her lips curved to form a smile.

She then asked, “Oh! Is that so? Does that mean that you have such moments as well, Jihoon?”

“Well about that, that’s a difficult question to answer. I am pretty sure I had moments like this, but it’s just that I am unable to remember that. It must be because of how old I am right now. Although I look like this, I am pretty old you know. That’s why, it’s natural for me to forget them.”

“Forget it. I am pretty sure someone as perfect as you never had to go through something like this. No, everytime I look at you, I wonder how people can be this perfect. From head to toe coupled with your behaviour, is there anything you are lacking in. You are really a gem!”

“You are really fond of praising me it appears, Daerin,” he voiced out, “It feels pleasant to hear them from you. At times, I wonder about how good it to be to have a younger sister like you. Maybe I wouldn’t have felt lonely then.”

“You really snatched the word right off my mouth. I always thought how it would be like to have a brother like you. Since both of our feelings are mutual, consider me to be your younger sister from now on, alright? Omo! Am I being too straightforward? I was just being too caught up in the moment,” she vocalised.

He chuckled, and shaking his head, he answered, “I believe that I like that arrangement. Anyway, how are you doing recently? Things have been quite hectic, and the rumours of how you have been nearly killed recently spread all around the palace.”

“Fortunately, I am alive from it, and all I can saw that my life is quite hectic. I swear I am annoyed on how that Oh Sookyung had fallen for me, but I guess it can’t be helped. I am just hoping for everything to be over soon. I am impatient for the peace it appears.”

“He had been doing lots of crazy things recently at the palace though. I don’t know if I should tell you about it, but it appears that he is planning to do something grand. There is rumours on how he is planning to give up his position as the King or something like that.”

Taken aback by his words, Moon Jiwoo’s eyes dilated, and she questioned, “WHAT?”

“Of course that’s just a rumour. Something like that is impossible. There is no way for him to give up his position, but since he is known as the crazy king currently, people are doubting the fact of it being impossible.”

“Ah! I am dying with curiosity. I seriously want to know all that he is planning, but it seems that he is adamant on keeping it hidden from me. I tried to sneak up on him and know about it, but he is too smart for that.”
