DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -11

Lisa had truly prepared this present in earnest. After she’d finished carving and painting it, even Xiao Shi was greatly surprised. She asked, “This is really meant to be given to the Old Madame?”

“Yes, how is it?” Looking at her finished work, Bai Lisa elegantly twirled an engraving knife in one hand, her other hand on her waist, looking extremely proud of what she had accomplished.

Xiao Shi nodded until her head almost fell off. Why hadn’t she known that her mistress possessed such skills after serving her for so many years? But this was really too good! The old madame would surely look at her mistress in a different light as soon as this gift was presented. Bai Lisa was also very satisfied and went to choose the clothes she would wear that day.

Her face was born beautiful, so even if she appeared without any make-up on, she should also be able to draw many gazes. However, she was highly motivated to tone down her looks since that was what the old madame hated the most. Although she wanted to seduce the male supporting character, she also didn’t wish to be beaten to death by staves before she’d succeeded.

Thus, she chose a light blue dress that didn’t appear too casual along with a red outer vest, not standing out too much while also not appearing too mild. After all, this was a day of happy tidings, and she had to give some face to the old madame.

As her head accessories, she decided to choose only a few. She felt that her hair was already very heavy, to begin with. If she added a bunch of accessories on top of that, she’d probably develop a spinal injury sooner or later.

Xiao Shi sighed. The mistress’ features are far too outstanding. She is dressing so low-key today because she’s worried about being accused of seducing the master.

“Spend some money and have the servants carry it in. They’d better not drop it,” Bai Lisa instructed before standing up. Gazing at her reflection in the bronze mirror, she mused that however low-key she tried to dress, this face of hers was just still too attractive. Why was it that such a perfectly good face had to end up like that? Could it be because she didn’t have the female lead halo?

Bai Lisa also knew from the book that concubines of this era didn’t have a position at all. While she was a precious concubine having entered the household through legitimate means, she was still just a concubine.

This time, the four concubines didn’t have the right to sit in at the old madame’s longevity banquet. They were only going there to present their gifts and would have to leave after the women of the family 1 arrived.

Only if the old madame presiding over the banquet or Prince Jeon, Jeon Jungkook agreed to it, would they be allowed to stay. But she remembered from the novel that they had not been allowed to stay. Therefore, it was fine as long as she presented her gift and caught a little of the male supporting character’s attention. Other than that, there was nothing else to look forward to. The presenting of gifts would come before the outsiders arrived, so they would have to go over early.

The male and female guests should have congregated before the old madame by now, so perhaps she would be able to see that male supporting character Kim Taehyung.

Lisa felt some anticipation begin to bubble inside. After all, she had chosen him and would be rescued by him if she succeeded, so she may be even… No, she shouldn’t think of anything else. Being able to secure her life was already a very good outcome.

The two once again walked towards the front lounge, heading for the main hall this time. Many guests had already gathered, but most of them were still from within the complex or relatives of the family.

Before having been received his title of Prince Jeon, Jungkook’s family had been extremely large. His bloodline had flourished the most but possessed the least amount of people.
