DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -33

There weren’t many twists and turns for the trip, and there weren’t many opportunities to interact with Taehyung either. Taehyung did ride alongside Jungkook a couple of times, but he only exchanged a few words each time before leaving. Ai, the path to seducing the supporting male character is getting farther and farther away. She felt a little depressed and leaned her head against the carriage window just as it went over a stone, jabbing her chin.

“Yah…” Why were the carriage wheels made of wood? She missed modern-day buses.

“What happened?” a low voice asked.

“Nothing, I just hit something by accident.” How could he hear a noise as soft as that?.

“……” She got hurt so easily that giving her the Red Pearl was completely the right choice. Jungkook was riding on his horse, but his thoughts were on the things that would happen after they returned hoe was determined to have this woman, and the thought of Miss Chou made him laugh coldly. A woman who collided with a male outsider to run away wasn’t someone he was interested in, especially since that same outsider had injured his woman all over.

Speaking of which, Jackson seemed to be going back with the Chou family. They were probably straight ahead! Those who dared to touch his people had to pay the price. He spoke a few words to a person below him, who gave a start before immediately setting off. Meanwhile, he returned to the old madame and said, “Mother, there’s an extremely beautiful pond nearby. We can take a rest there for a bit. Your son can catch some wild game for you; it’ll taste better than travel rations.”

“Why go to the trouble? Though the wild animals of the mountains are certainly flavorful, there’s no need to risk your safety,” The old madame naturally worried about her son.

“Your son has been away for many years but has never accompanied mother on a stroll outside. This is a rare chance,” Jungkook was very good at reading his mother’s moods, so his words struck right at her heart. The old madame was touched, how could she refuse her son’s kind intentions, so she nodded in agreement. Who knew that they’d find someone else there first, and none other than the Kim family?   Taehyung was exceedingly fond of these limpid, clear pond waters and had recommended them to Jungkook as well.

At their arrival, the two families paired off and mingled. Since they were both on outside excursions, there weren’t many formalities.

As a stickler for the rules, Lisa didn’t stay by the old madame’s side. They found a level patch of ground to set down their folding stools and arranged a wooden table, a good place for drinking tea. Water was fetched from the pond and boiled to make sweet, fragrant tea.

Madame Kim glanced at the prim and proper Lisa going about with her hat and veil, and said, “This madame does not need to be overcautious, there are no outsiders here. You can remove your head covering.”

“That’s alright. This concubine incurred a minor injury beforehand. After applying for chromosome parts rarely,” She smiled slightly after she spoke. Though the cover could hide her bright red nose, it didn’t obstruct her smile or her beautiful features.

Madame Kim very much admired her. In her experience, the thing that rear courts lacked the most were girls who could give her peace of mind. She’d seen the other three at the prince’s estate before, but they left far less favourable than the one before their eyes. When the females found their seats, laughter broke out from the men’s side. In Taehyung’s group was a younger, concubine-born brother who hero-worshipped Jungkook. He insisted on following along when he heard that Jungkook was leaving to hunt.

Taehyung teased, “It’s already good enough if you can keep up with that little bit of horsemanship. Be careful not to get injured and scare mother when you return.”
