"Look at this crazy b*tch. You still have a mouth to speak after all your family has done? We almost lost our lives because of you all." A female servant said as she pulled chaeyeon's hair.

"Let me go!" Chaeyeon yelled.

"Your mother stole the blue lotus pill to save your worthless life. The prince almost died because of you!

If not for the crown prince's intervention, you would've been killed."

"Don't you ever forget your life doesn't belong to you, it belongs to the Royal Palace!" The servants shouted as they continued to beat up chaeyeon.

Chaeyeon eyes opened.

"Am I still in that weird place?" She muttered as she sat up.

Unlike earlier, her entire body felt very foreign. It was almost as if her body wasn't hers.

Chaeyeon smacked her lips.

"Apparently, this isn't my body."

She managed to get up.

"This chaeyeon has lived a even more pathetic life than mine." She chuckled.

"You had to put me in this body. My life is as pathetic as it is, did you have to double my problems?" She asked no one in particular as she opened the door.

Her mouth opened as wide as the door she opened.

There were hundreds of people everywhere.

She stepped out of room and into the large courtyard.

"Is this supposed to be a Palace?" She wondered out loud.

"What were you expecting?" She heard a rough voice ask.

She turned towards the voice and lo, it belonged to a middle aged woman holding a broom.

"You must've forgotten your manners because you've been long gone haven't you?" The woman asked.

What the....

Chaeyeon crossed her arms and was about to retort when Eunjeong appeared from nowhere and made her bow.

"I'm sorry Head servant Chu, the thing is chaeyeon is still recovering so she is a bit mannerless. Please forgive her rude behavior." She said in a polite manner bowing also.

Chaeyeon clutched her dress tightly.

Is everyone in this place really pathetic? She wondered

The Head servant spoke up cutting her thoughts.

"The offender has a mouth to speak now doesn't she?" The Head servant asked.

It seemed everyone except this Eunjeong loved to pick on chaeyeon.... it was a shame. That chaeyeon was gone.

Chaeyeon rolled her eyes still bowing and replied, "well, I don't know what crime I have committed and I do not see a reason for me to apologize."

The servants onlooking the entire drama gasped in shock including Eunjeong and the Head servant.

" You have the guts to speak to me that way, have you forgotten who I am?" The Head servant asked enraged.

Chaeyeon raised her head and dusted her clothes, "it's not like I've forgotten, I just don't give a damn about who you are. Why should I by the way?

Are you God? I'm not on good terms with the Old man as we speak so why should I care about who you are?"

The Head servant's eyes widened.

How did this girl suddenly get this burst of courage? She wondered.

"You must have hurt your head I presume, that is why you're this presumptuous." The Head servant said.

The general scoffed. "Yeah, I'm presumptuous, do you have a problem with that?" She inquired.

"You..."

The Head servant raised her broom to  hit her.

The general's eyes brightened. "Right you should beat this presumptuous servant untill she returns back to her senses." She said.

The Head servant's broom dropped.

"No, I have just the thing to bring you back to your senses. You must've forgotten who you are and where you are."

Chaeyeon's cloud dispersed.

"What?! No... Lady, you can't-"

The Head servant continued, "Everyone listen up. From this moment henceforth, Royal servant chaeyeon will be sweeping the courtyard of the Royal palace for a month." She declared.

Eunjeong ran and held the feet of the Head servant.

"Please reduce the sentence, as you can see she is very ill right now and-"

The Head servant kicked her away.

Chaeyeon subconsciously took a step forward to help her.

"How is that any of my business? I don't care if she does or not. Also, I don't want to hear any arguments. You don't want any problems for yourself now do you?" She inquired with a menacing gaze.

Eunjeong was about to refute when she heard chaeyeon speak again.

"I have no objections to this sentence of hours but you must never trouble Eunjeong. Understood?" She glared straight into the eyes of the Head servant.
