DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -48

The old madame kept praising her son, thinking that the days of her being able to hold a grandchild would be near after he returned. Yet, whenever she thought about it, her mood instantly turned sour as she was immediately reminded about Miss Chou.

No matter how many covert or overt investigations she opened regarding the whereabouts of Miss Chou, no one seemed to know where the latter had run off to. The Chou household was of no help either, only putting out a statement that she had gone to the temple to pray for her mother’s well-being. The city was already rife with rumours; who would continue to believe that Miss Chou was still be praying for her mother? Her son would suddenly go mute when she brought up the topic, his eyebrows knitting together tightly.

She knew that her son had formed a distaste for the bride who had yet to enter the front gate of her house. But he also knew where Miss Chou truly was. He just couldn’t be bothered to go find her.

Things couldn’t go on like this forever. She knew that her son had lived an unhappy life in the past twenty years and needed something to be happy about. It was why she was very lenient about the relationship between her son and Lisa. That being said, the girl looked like the sensible sort, which set the old madame’s mind at ease.

The news of Lisa’s complete recovery soon reached Jungkook’s ear. Even Taehyung noticed the upward curve of his lips that day. He couldn’t help but ask, “Didn’t you say to make a lot of things today? Why go back after a few hits?”

“Some events have arisen within the family.” Jungkook didn’t explain any more ass he hurriedly made his way home in high spirits. Taehyung had no choice but to follow when he saw that his friend leaving without another word. Maybe something has happened? When Taehyung entered the residence, he asked Yoongi behind him, “What is the date today?”

answered, “In response to my lord, today is the 7th day of the month.” He then saw the prince wave a hand, commanding, “Deliver the wild duck and deer to Madame Lisa. Tell her that I will be dining at her place tonight. Deliver the remainder to the Old Madame.”

As the servants acknowledged his orders, Jungkook continued into the complex, reporting to the old madame before returning to his residence and taking a warm bath. He usually never paid close attention when cleaning himself, but this time, he scrubbed himself clean all over. When he was done cleaning his body, he brushed his teeth for good measure, not caring what the time of the day was. He checked out his reflection in the mirror, wondering, “Is this enough?”

Yoongi felt even his molars ache. This was the first time he’d seen his lord in this kind of state. The prince wasn’t this nervous even when the emperor had summoned him for an appearance. All this just to visit that woman? But when he thought about how thin his master’s face was when it came to her, he didn’t dare speak up. Instead, Yoongi spoke in an encouraging tone, “Who can compare to master’s handsome charm? If master walked out like this, the whole city’s maiden population would coo and shriek, going red in the face with embarrassment!”

Jungkook also felt very pleased with himself. As he waited for sunset, he simply sat in his chair and tried to while away the time with a book. But this sky was sure taking its time to darken!

With great difficulty, he waited until the sky turned dark before happily going alone to Winter Garden. He didn’t even bring Yoongi. The person in Winter Garden had long since prepared dinner and was waiting, but she sat there, staring into the cactus.

She was wondering, is he coming here to do this or that with me today? This plot has changed way too much. Nothing’s supposed to happen between these two characters before the female lead comes!
