Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty And Masked Beast Chapter 256 - Troublesome Decoration

Seeing the dessert in front of her, a wide smile spread on to Soohyun's face. Although she did not not of the ingredients it was made up of, it gave off an wonderful scent, and extending her fork towards it, she cut off a piece off of it.

The two of them— Lee Soohyun and Hw.a.n.g Miyeon— was currently in one of Miyeon's private room, and as a wooden table was upon the floor, the two of them were seated opposite to each other on cus.h.i.+on.

A large chandelier hung off of them, and Soohyun fancied how everything around the place was crystalline. Shades of pink could be seen around the place mixed with slight blue.

There seemed to be some kind of device inside the place to emit cold air, and that felt comforting to Soohyun. 

A bright expression was on Miyeon's face while her eyes stared at Soohyun in antic.i.p.ation in order to see the reaction on her face after eating the cake.

After she had placed the cake piece inside her mouth, Soohyun almost m.o.a.ned how heavenly it tasted. The flavours could not be discerned by her. However, there was a slight taste of blood inside it, and the blood seemed to be of fine quality.

"Wow! This is completely delightful!" Soohyun commented as her expression reflected her mood at that moment.

Miyeon clapped both of her hands together and elatedly exclaimed, "Yes! I knew that you would be liking it, Jiwoo Unnie! This is one of the specialities at here and always amazes everyone with the taste!"

"Seems like I will not be complaining about food during my stay here," Soohyun expressed.

"Of course there would not be a chance for you to do so. Seeing that you're staying in the castle, you will get to taste the finest of the foods, and the chef here doesn't know how to disappoint," Miyeon said, "He was carefully hen-picked by the King."

"Then, we should not be cursing at him that much. After all, because of that King, we are getting to enjoy such delicious food," Soohyun pointed out as she took another bite out of the cake.

Miyeon scoffed and vocalised, "This wouldn't make up for the injustice he directed towards us, and even if he kneels down in front of us to beg for forgiveness, it would not be enough. Tch! Stay some days here, and you will get to see how unreasonable he can be."

"About the King, why does not anyone rebel against him if he is that unfair though or raise any kind of objection?" Soohyun asked as she raised one of her eyebrows.

At this palace, Miyeon is the only one Soohyun could get her answers from currently, and she was determined to utilise that.

"Well, the King is not an idiot though. He cuts off all the problems at the root and is quite observant. Other than that, I guess you can say that he is lucky," Miyeon vocalised.

"What is Minhyun's connection with the Prince though?" Soohyun voiced out, "Oh yeah! One more thing, what is Minhyun's actual age? I tried asking him about him, but he never gave a straight answer on it. He looks to be in his late twenties, but I doubt that is close to his actual age."

"Oppa should be in late thirties. Maybe thirty eight?" Miyeon said unsure of the answer as well.

She then added, "I don't have much of a clue about his age as well. Oppa does not celebrate his birthday, and honestly, about Oppa's affair, no one knows about it other than Yejoon Oppa. Both of them are the closest. That's why, I have no clue on the Prince. This can be false as well, seeing how it is just a rumour."

"You never tried asking him either? I mean, what is so secretive about one's age? This is suspicious," Soohyun muttered.

Miyeon laughed and stated, "It seems that you're a curious person, Jiwoo Unnie! I tried asking Minhyun Oppa, but he left me with a vague answer, and that's when I knew that this is not a topic I need to poke into further. You see, there are lots of things that are better left as secret."

"That is indeed the truth," Soohyun said as she nodded understandingly.

"Do you know what the rumours about the recent attacks are?" Miyeon asked as she leaned closer to Soohyun.

Soohyun shook her head, and that's when, Miyeon vocalised, "They are saying that someone is planning to take the position from the king, meaning that he is rebelling. That is why, Jaeho Ahjussi was made the target. 

He is someone who would not dare to go against the king; You should see his loyalty and be shocked. Although the King never supported him when he got bullied, Jaeho Ahjussi still stands by his side, and Ahjussi might even sacrifice his life for him.

Don't say anyone I have said this to you, but sometimes it is sickening to see Ahjussi's loyalty. The King did not do anything to earn that after all."

Soohyun shrugged her shoulders and pointed out, "Isn't that being loyal to the Clan, rather than him? The Clan would fall into a state of turmoil if anything happened to King, and this could be considered as bootlicking."

"Tch! Even if he did all do that, the King did not show any kind of favour towards him. At this point, this is considered useless, and I don't think the Clan would fall into a state of turmoil without the King. The King is just a troublesome decoration," Miyeon said.

 She then added, "The King is keeping lookout for all of the Purebloods in the Clan to see who will be the next Prince. He is at a delusion currently that there is no next Prince and will be eternally ruling. It is utterly foolish him to think so. The next Prince is definitely out there, but he is in hiding until he is of age."
