DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -99

Does this mean that we could be together for a little while longer? Taehyung was elated the moment he heard her words. “If that’s the case… W-why don’t we find a place where there’s n-nobody around? We might be discovered if we stay here.”

Taehyung felt a little guilty after he’d voiced his suggestion. Yet, Lisa suddenly patted her head as though she had just been enlightened by his words. “Why didn’t I think of that? Right. Where should we go? I’m not too familiar with the outside world.”

Most women from the rear court were never expected to leave their home, living a life that was as sheltered as possible. So, it wasn’t strange that she was unfamiliar with the outside world.

Naturally, Taehyung took on the role of a tour guide and thought of showing her a nice and elegant place. Since Bai Lisa is an educated person as well, how about that place? Elated at the thought of going there with her, he said, “You should put on your hat and veil before we depart.”

“Ah. Sure.” Lisa wasn’t even the least bit suspicious of him. If she knew that he had said that with the motive of spending more time with her, the current her probably would’ve yanked on his sleeve to say, “Get me out of the prince’s manor! Please!”

Unfortunately, she was completely oblivious to his feelings. She thought that the male supporting character was just only trying to look out for a weak girl like her. So, she followed him with clear eyes and a head held high. It was not long before she saw him walk into a shop to hire a sedan chair for her.

“I can walk on my own feet.” Although she’d just run all the way here, her current body wasn’t too tired out yet. Is it really fine for me to be in the sedan chair while he has to walk all the way there?

“How about hiring a horse carriage instead?” Lisa asked, a bit shy.

“Haha. There’s no need for that.” Taehyung laughed as he covered his mouth with a fan. Why would I need a carriage when it’s only a few streets away? This lady is being so cute right now.

“I don’t need a sedan chair either. Walking has benefits in its way.”

“It’s quite crowded here. I don’t want anyone to knock into you.” Taehyung’s pageboys had caught up to him as they were chatting. He turned to them, his voice stern, “I do not need for any of you to wait upon me now. Go do whatever you should be doing instead.”

The pageboys couldn’t help but let their dismay show on their faces at these words. How could they not wait upon their master? It was them who had to bear responsibility and face punishment if anything were to happen to him! “Eldest young master. The capital city is fraught with danger. How about…”

“Go. Away!” Taehyung growled. However, realizing that Bai Lisa could still hear him from within the sedan chair, he coughed quietly. “What danger could I possibly face? Hurry on the back! Both of you!”

Although his manner of speech was still very gentle, his glare was diametrically opposite. The pageboys were shocked at this disconnect between his words and face.

However, after they saw the sedan chair sitting by the roadside, they seemed to finally understand why their master was acting that way. He was having a date with beauty. No wonder they’d offended him when they’d offered to serve him. A glance at each other solidified their decision; they would leave. They couldn’t afford to offend the eldest young master of the house.

And so, Taehyung warmly welcomed his precious alone time with Lisa. Better yet, Lisa wouldn’t even suspect his motives for chasing the page boys away because she was here in secret. He naturally had to make sure to limit witnesses.
