DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -26

Having experienced many life and death battles, Prince Jeon should logically have a heart as unruffled as still water. However, he just didn’t have any resistance to these types of matters at all. He squinted, feeling that this temple and all its surrounding environment were just… beautiful, like a dream or an illusion.

At this time, Taehyung was also stunned by the great words of the woman within. A girl who could see things so clearly was already extremely rare, but what was even rarer was a woman would use those words to persuade the future mistress of the household to go through with the marriage.

Who in the capital didn’t know of Prince Jeon and Miss Chou’s impending marriage?

While the Chou Family could also be considered as marrying above their status in this union, Prince Jeon’s reputation upon returning from war had not been very good. Especially over matters of ill-treating women, the originally jealous family members of the various ladies had felt very fortunate that they didn’t have to wed their daughters to such a beast.

Still, Taehyung knew that all of these were false accusations.

However, through her words, he discovered that this woman’s breadth of vision was not ordinary, even pointing out that someone was intentionally causing the rumours. This was already not something that the ordinary smart woman would be able to think of, and she was still a concubine.

Hearing Miss Chou escaping and Mistress Lisa seemingly having been injured, he gently patted Prince Jeon’s shoulder but saw his friend’s entire body tense up before turning and leaving as though he had not heard anything at all. Seeing that his face was normal, his footsteps not flustered in the least, Taehyung could not help but frown. Was he not moved? As one said, countries were easy to obtain, those who understand you are harder, ones who were female being exceptionally rare.

Having such a person would be the greatest happiness for a man! However, his friend was so cold, just what was he thinking?

Yet how was Jungkook as cold as he thought? His fist was clenched tightly all the way. Only when he had returned to his room and calmly part with Taehyung did he let out a breath he was holding, or, more accurately, completely wake up. He had no idea how he had walked back from there just now, as his heart was beating extremely rapidly.

Sitting alone in his room, he couldn’t calm his mind down even as he sat in the meditative position and circulated his qi. His mind was filled with the words that that woman had said, her voice like a gentle breeze in his brain, wreathing about, and not dissipating easily.

Originally, Jungkook had wanted to calm his heart and not think about it, but how could he not understand that the shock she had brought to him today wasn’t something that would easily fade? A concubine defending him to such an extent before the main wife, and most importantly believing in him to such an extent!

If it was a man, he would not feel like it was anything, because they either deeply knew the principles within or possessed vision broad enough to see things clearly beyond just their surface. However, as a woman, coming from a scholarly family, how would she know about those political matters?

But she just believed in him, even believing that those rumours must have been created by outsiders who possessed some ulterior motives. A woman choosing to believe in a man like this, did she like him then?

He’d thought before that a woman who remained at home would never know whether rumours were true or false. Thus, he’d felt that once his wife married in, he should find a way to explain it to her. After all, she was someone he would be spending his entire life with, he would have to make her believe him no matter what, right? However, he discovered today that there was also a woman who believed in him without explanations having to be made.
