DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -98

No matter what, she had come to ask for his help, and it was likely even an emergency. He could tell that much from her glistening, limpid eyes. Taehyung could feel his heart melt as he met her gaze. He asked, “For what matter do you require my help?”

“This……” That sort of thing was a little difficult for a lady like her to say. Her behaviour was too bold by olden times’ standards. However, she still gritted her teeth and described the incident from beginning to end. Then, she gave Taehyung an expectant look, hoping that he would agree to help.

Taehyyng didn’t expect that she would tell him about the secret affairs of the prince’s estate, and then even look at him with such an expression. She was not playing fair! He immediately began to panic and nodded before he even asked what help she needed. But he immediately regretted his actions; this was quite a difficult issue to resolve.

But after seeing the joyous expression on her small face, he couldn’t bear to reject her. He only asked, “So, what sort of assistance do you require from me?”

“Uhh……” She ducked her head and blinked. She wasn’t too familiar with this world, so she didn’t have a good way of solving this problem. She had hoped that the supporting male character would have an idea, but in the end, it seemed that he didn’t have the slightest clue either. Well, it wasn’t entirely unexpected either. Cheating in modern times would at most land in a courtroom of some kind, and everyone would eventually return home to look for their mothers. Society’s condemnations wouldn’t be too severe either.

But the same scenario in the olden times couldn’t be handled so casually. This was a place where propriety and honesty were followed to the letter at every corner. But of course, the rich would only be called flirtatious when they did such things, but when the servants did it, they were called base and low.

This was simply inconceivable!

Taehyung knew that she didn’t have any ideas when he noticed her conflicted expression. “How about this? If they truly want to be together, arranging that isn’t that difficult.”

“Really?” Lisa was almost crying from worry. Hearing him say that it wasn’t impossible almost sent her to almost plaster herself against him to listen closely.

Taehyung’s heart pounded crazily. His feelings towards her had become almost irrepressible after he’d learned of her kind nature. He sighed lightly as he spoke, “You only have to say tomorrow that you intend to sell off the third madame, and then let a trusted maidservant out to find a slaver. I will send someone to wait for your maidservant in the back alley.

“After sending your maidservant out, you can then announce that you are handing over the man to the court officials. They will no doubt send him to be arrested. I’ll notify the proper people before that happens and have sentenced him to banishment. Then, we can arrange for both of them to be sent to some other place for them to live together.

“Great idea. It truly is such a great idea. Thank you so much…” Lisa had finally found a reason to smile. Although the plan was simple, the only person capable of enacting such a plan was probably him. His plan required connections with all sorts of factions within the capital. It would be impossible to achieve without a proper network and wealth.

Taehyung couldn’t help but smile after seeing a smile dawn on her face. He suddenly noticed something stuck in her hair. He nonchalantly plucked it from her hair but was quick to realize that it was a piece of the cabbage leaf. Even worse, the cabbage leaf was rotten. He stood stunned for a second, then asked, “How did you get out of the estate?”
