"Look who we have here," the leader voiced out, "someone who grew courage by licking the ass of an Noble Lady. Just how does prostituting feels like."
Another one stepped forward and stated, "Our leader would have been generous enough to spare you if you had done the laundry for us. But you have the audacity to throw them and get us blamed."
Seraphine was dumbfounded by their stupidity.
What happened with their laundry and the consequences received by them wasn't something she was well aware of. This was because she wasn't interested in digging further.
However, the fact that they have come to trouble her after so long meant that they would have been deeply occupied by whatever they had to deal with.
Seraphine couldn't care less about these insignificant characters. They were the last thing on her mind, but it seemed that she was a priority in theirs.
Even wh
One thing she knew for sure was that a great deal of luck was needed when faced with this stern faced, intimidating lieutenant.As Seraphine stood behind the table, she maintained a polite posture while her eyes stared at the seated lieutenant, who was most likely trying to read Seraphine.Mentally, Seraphine desperately prayed for this to be over as soon as possible."I have heard praises made by Arnold on how you're a promising lad," August Sier commented."Sir Arnold had over praised me." Seraphine maintained a humble attitude."You don't need to say that. If you weren't aware of how skilled you were, you wouldn't have proposed to work solo in the first place."Seraphine didn't make reply to that, and it didn't surprise her that August Sier knew this matter."You truly don't disappoint and are leading by a lot when compar
After Seraphine's series of scoldings and lectures along with threats, Katherine promised to be obedient and never attempt to do anything as foolish as to follow after Seraphine.Seraphine was pleased by the turn of actions following that.Katherine looked out for her free time prior to inviting her over and didn't excessively boost about Seraphine's visuals. Well, at least she attempted to do that although she failed in that aspect many times.That did little to bother Seraphine though."Have you heard of the ball the Crown Prince is holding?" Katherine questioned.Raising one of her eyebrows, Seraphine voiced out, "The one on searching for his wife?""Hmm," Katherine responded, "Well, I have been invited to it. Without any good reasons, it would be considered offensive to not attend.""Oh," Seraphine replied.
As expected from a male lead from a romance novel, he had a sparkling appearance and aura, which made everything in the room pale in comparison to him.Everyone's breath stopped while their eyes fell on the King, and all of them politely greeted the eminent figure.The difference between the charm of Alexandar and Kayden could be spotted at a mere glance. It was fair to say they were opposite of each other.Unlike Kayden who emitted a sense of solitude and solemnness, Alexander was a much brighter, eye-catching figure. Even though he didn't appear intimidating, just a look at him made one believe he was born to rule and stand above others.There was a hint of playfulness and seduction in his eyes, making one's heart pound the instant those pair of eyes meet theirs.The impression he gave off at first was gentle and rational. But this crazy man was far from that.
As Katherine had an aunt here in the capital, she decided to stay a few more days. As for Seraphine, she had already cut a lot of days from work and to urgently go back thus— regardless of how reluctant she was regarding it.At the end, she decided to leave it all up to fate.Planning on leaving tomorrow, Seraphine was done packing up and brought a few souvenirs for her younger sister. With all that settled, Seraphine was ready for the trip back home.Sent by Katherine today to buy a few desserts, she entered a bakery. Once done buying the desserts, she was about to leave the place when a familiar figure fell into her line of sight.'Seraphine' stepped out of the restaurant opposite to the bakery with a couple
Pondering about these matters were useless at this instant. Seraphine always believed there was problems with how her brain was circuited.But now, she was well aware that compared to this cult in front of her, she was very much normal and glad for it.When the tip of that man's sword was able to touch Seraphine, Seraphine instantly dodged that attack while her sword made its over to the man standing beside her.As for that man who tried to attack her, his blade pierced the man standing in front of the window. Before the move was filled with vigor, he wasn't able to stop himself in time.At that, they were thrown in confusion, and Seraphine took this as an opportunity to escape from this place through the window.Although the distance was low, she was currently injured, and because of this, the jump caused her to land on all fours. Her palms scraped against the grass,
"The guards around Lady Seraphine Vougeious were all killed," Kayden stated.This 'Seraphine' was actually better than Seraphine thought. She actually killed all those guards by herself. Just thinking about how powerful she could potentially be made her scalp numb, and she shuddered.This gave her more reasons as to why she couldn't expose her identity. This situation was too dangerous, and she didn't want to regret by making reckless decisions— not that she had much choices to make with the death almost arriving at her door.Moreover, the difference between her and 'Seraphine' was great. Even if others thought that the changes created in her was due to puberty, those close to her wouldn't think so.How could Kayden who grew close to her not notice the change in behaviour— her becoming a completely different person? Her every little habits were known to him.Kayden wa
How ridiculously unbelievable was it that she was called to Kayden's office?Exactly, instead of being sent to the dungeons, the execution field, or be exiled, she was actually called to the office of that Kayden.Seraphine was baffled, not understanding how to process this situation. One should understand that visiting the office of the Commander is no simple matter.At first, she thought someone was pulling her leg and didn't know what conclusion to draw from this. She began to think of all the possible ideas inside her mind.But before she could reach a conjecture that made sense, she already arrived in front of his office, and the Knight who guided her knocked door in front of her."Commander Clementis, Sir Blair is here."Once the order was given, the door in front of her was pushed open, and Seraphine stepped into the room. As the door behind her
Seraphine sat on the couch in Kayden's office, watching the man work. She wasn't particularly bored as various matters went through her mind.Honestly, she was being treated too generously by Kayden. This could be due to the fact that he recognized her.But then, she brushed that thought away, believing it to be too far-fetched.This was because the her right now was too different from the Seraphine Kayden once used to know.Even Seraphine sometimes doubted she was actually a Vougeious once, judging from her state.Seraphine right now didn't even feel like a woman, let alone a noble lady. Even if Seraphine acted wildly, she still had the mannerisms of a noble lady.Probably if she continued with this act, one of these days, she would start doubting her own gender and consider herself to be a true man.Seraphine sighed at that though
Both Jiyeon and Taeyang was on the cleaning duty for the class. As Jiyeon was arranging the table, she noticed that Taeyang was staring at her with a mildly amused smile on his face.That aggravated her, and she expressed, “What? What are you looking at?”Without saying anything, he made his way over to her. Then, extending his hand, he touched her face and stroked it before voicing out, “You don’t have to do anything to make me jealous.”Her eyes widened at his words, and she stepped back, feeling totally exposed under that gaze of his.She then stuttered, “W-What do you mean?”Clearing her throat, she spoke with more confidence: “What sort of nonsense are you uttering now? Me making you jealous? Why would I do something so absurd?”She scoffed.He chuckled and stated, “Is that so? I know you well, Seraphine. You can’t hide from me.”“What? How can y
“Hold on, hold on, he actually said that to you!?” Aera exclaimed in disbelief. “Whoa! He is seriously a player.”Sitting on her bed, Jiyeon took a sip from her strawberry milk and stared down. The events of the other day still heated up her cheeks. Taeyang simply looked too dashing.“How did he know I was there though?” Jiyeon questioned. “Could it be a coincidence?”“About that,” Aera voiced out, “I might have spilled out your location to him.”Jiyeon raised an eyebrow.“Well, he called me, asking where you are as your phone was shut off, and I told him you’re on a date. Then, he questioned me about the location, and he is too scary. I wasn’t able to hide it.”Jiyeon could see where Aera was coming from. After the confrontation she had with Taeyang the other day, he really had a fierce side to him. Maybe because she w
Just as she was about to hug Yejoon, Jiyeon felt herself being dragged back by a large force, and this caused her eyes to widen. She turned her head to look at the one behind it and was shocked to see Taeyang standing there.What was he doing here?His eyes fiercely stared at her, causing her to be shaken up, and it appeared that he was only slightly away from bursting off at her. This was the first time she had faced this side of hers, making her wonder on how she had possibly offended him.“Who are you? It’s too impolite to pull someone this way,” Yejoon voiced out.Jiyeon smiled at him and expressed, “It’s fine. I know him. You can leave now.”Yejoon seemed a little hesitant. Nonetheless, he nodded before leaving. Before she could wave her hand at him, her face was gripped by Taeyang, and he forced her to meet his eyes.“Who is he?” Taeyang questioned, and his tone held immense intensity&mda
Jiyeon totally erased from her mind about asking Taeyang about why he stayed with her that night. This was surely done out of friendship, and there was no need to make the matters awkward by probing into this topic. This is how Jiyeon managed to convince herself.But when Taeyang came for the tutoring session on the next day, Jiyeon felt pained upon seeing him, and it was hard for her to keep on behaving normally as if nothing had happened. Taeyang surely had noticed something due to how silent she had been. That’s why, she appreciated him not asking anything about it.As Jiyeon was going through the book in her hand, Taeyang’s phone rang, and a picture popped up on the screen. It was the image of the woman she had seen with him yesterday; she was called Jihye.“Excuse me for a second.”With that said, he stood up and received the call. Jiyeon observed his expressions. His eyes widened for a second— probably shocked by what h
Jiyeon’s breathing for that instant stopped, and her heart clenched painfully. A nauseating feeling arose in her stomach. That’s why, holding her mouth, she stood up and rushed towards the washroom. At the same time, her eyes were flooded with tears.Seeing Jiyeon’s reaction caused a frown to form upon Taeyang’s features, and he did call after her. But she paid no mind to his words. He wanted to go after her, but that’s when his attention fell on her phone. It seemed that she saw something on the device.Picking the device up, his eyes fell on the screen, and that’s when he understood why she had shown such an intense reaction. This was due to a certain name she had seen— Kayden.He shut her phone and let out a sigh.°°°After washing her face, Jiyeon came out of the washroom and then said, “I am sorry. I suddenly felt sick.”Taeyang stood up and made his way over to Jiyeon. H
Taeyang shot her a quizzical look, not clearly expecting her to mention this right now, before that changed to amusement, and he voiced out, “Why are you so curious about that?”Jiyeon believed that she had decent acting skills when she smiled and said, “Am I not your friend? This simply is an enough reason for me to know about it. Now, quick, quick, tell me who is it that managed to steal that heart of yours.”“Because you are my friend?” The boy stated.There was a certain amount of amusement present in his tone, and this caused her to feel nervous. Certainly, he didn’t notice her intentions, right? Although she did feel very much exposed under his gaze, she tried to convince herself that the boy wasn’t capable of reading minds.Jiyeon nodded.“Can I not ask as your friend about the girl you like?”“Of course, you can ask,” Taeyang said, “And as for who the perso
“Of course not. What are you talking about? You can feel comfortable at here. You have done a lot for Jiyeon, and we are thankful to you for that,” her mother voiced out.Hearing how gently her mother was speaking made Jiyeon scoff and say, “I didn’t know that you are able to talk in this manner, Mother; I thought you were only capable of shouting.”This caused her mother to glare at Jiyeon and state, “Shut up! Make yourself useful for once, and set up the table.”Although Jiyeon rolled her eyes at her mother, she did as the woman ordered as she made her way over to the kitchen. Tilting her head from the kitchen, she could see that small conversation went on between her mother and Taeyang. This caused her to wonder what the content was.Nevertheless, Jiyeon was quick to her feet and arranged the table without causing much accidents. Once done with that, she took her seat and called for
Jiyeon had to admit that Taeyang was great at explaining her. It was as if he understood her and knew how to keep her concentration on the subject. No matter how much she wanted to distract him or ask him unnecessary questions, he didn’t let that happen.And as for the last part of the session, he gave her few problems to solve, saying, “After you are able to solve them all and get half of them correct, you can go home.”Jiyeon was dumbfounded by the expectations he held on her. Even on the subject she found the easiest, getting half correct was hard for her.“Can’t we lower the bar a little? Today is the first day after all. Let’s settle for forty percent.”He shook his head and voiced out, “If you get more than fifty percent, I will reward you.”That did sound appealing to her, and knowing that there was no place for argument, she attempted the questions I hopes of attaining that reward. At th
It didn’t take Taeyang long to finish making the breakfast, and even though Jiyeon had a large intake of sugar now, that didn’t take away from her appetite when she smelled the pancakes. This caused her to feel sudden hunger.Taeyang placed the glass of orange juice in front of her before serving her pancakes and covering those up with syrup. Yurie’s mouth watered as she held her fork and voiced out, “Thank you.”After that, given how delicious the pancakes were, it didn’t take her long to finish eating them, and once done with that, she stared at Taeyang with impressed eyes.“Whoa! This is seriously good,” Jiyeon voiced out, “You really have a way to lower my self-esteem.”“Don’t worry about that. Collectively, you are way better than me.”This made Jiyeon scrunch up her nose and vocalize, “We both know that is not the case. I am far from being half as good as you.
