The Crown Prince (Taegi AU)

Chapter 33

"What the hell is going on?!" It was the voice of a woman who everyone had already recognized, at least, everyone except for Taehyung.

Taehyung saw the woman and he was instantly sure that she had a high position and came from a noble family, but since he had never seen her before, he was unsure about her identity. 

"Lady Mirae, what are you doing here?" The young master who had previously tried to cut off Taehyung's tongue suddenly changed his facial expressions and smiled as he asked in confusion mixed with delight. 

The guards could finally sigh in relief as they saw this woman appearing at such a heated moment. 

Lady Mirae gritted her teeth as she walked closer to the two of them and shouted at the young master, "Brother Daesung, It should be me who does the questioning, don't you think?" 

Young master Daesung was suddenly taken back to hear such a rude response and when his initial shock had calmed down, his hate for Taehyung grew even more. 

Lady Mirae had actually scolded him for this prisoner, so of course, he won't be liking it.

This young master was the type to let his feelings show on his face so with just a glance Taehyung was sure that cutting his tongue wasn't the only torture this young master wanted to put him through. 

Lady Mirae also didn't look too well, in fact, her face seemed to be just as angry as this young master's and if not, maybe even more. 

"Do you even know who he is?!" 

"To know a mere prisoner, I'm afraid I wouldn't wanna be bothered by such things," Daesung gritted out.

Lady Mirae scoffed as she heard this and couldn't help but comment rather rudely, "Well, you should learn to bother yourself with such critical details." 

"Then does Lady Mirae know?" 

The girl scoffed as she pulled a sword out from the scabbard that belonged to one of the guards who had his head down this entire time, "Of course I know!" She raised the sword up and Taehyung almost thought that she was going to cut him in half but when he closed his eyes and waited for the sword to strike down on him, a minute passed and he could still not feel any pain. 

He felt that the rope that had tied him to the pole had come loose and he was finally able to breathe without constraints which made him open his eyes just to see that the girl had actually cut the ropes and freed him. She was indeed here to help him but somehow, he was still a bit on guard against her since he couldn't be too sure about her ulterior motives. 

"A dog must bark at a cat, not a tiger." She spoke up as she lowered the sword and glared at Daesung. 

Daesung bit his lower lip and couldn't help but feel wronged and the guards who were watching this free show could feel the second-hand embarrassment on his behalf. 

Everyone in this royal palace already knew the identities of these two people, one was the daughter of Court Official Hwang while the other was the son of Court Official Yul. Both of them had high statuses and would naturally know each other and would be on good terms with the other. Since Daesung was a person who wore his emotions on his face, it was also a well-known fact that he like Lady Mirae and wanted to wed her however, Lady Mirae had already turned him down and he couldn't force her. 

When everyone had first heard that Lady Mirae had turned him down, they were not the slightest bit disappointed since it was to be expected. 

Lady Mirae and Young master Daesung just didn't suit each other like that. 

One was a beautiful flower while the other was a pig who wore designer robes. It need not be said how much they contrasted each other so everyone had come to the agreement that it was probably better for the two not to be together.
