A Suicidal Bloom

That felt good

"You-"

The another servant rushed to grab her but chaeyeon raised the broom again and hit her on her belly.

Before the third servant could attack, chaeyeon kicked her left side and slapped her on the cheek.

It was the servant that blabbed about her being a royal servant.

"I can't believe I have been putting up with you chickens," she said.

Of course she wasn't referring to herself but chaeyeon.

"You're right, I'm a royal servant but that is what makes me different. The palace owns me not you bunch of low lives. Understood?!" She asked.

I have to sweep the entire ourtyard but how can it be clean when there are dirt everywhere? She thought.

The servants scurried to their feet.

Chaeyeon looked at them.

"Who said you could get up?" She asked crossing her arms.

"What now?!" One of them inquired trembling.

Chaeyeon pointed her broom at them. "What else, you have to clean up the mess you've made."

The servants rufuted immediately. "The Head servant said you should do it,"

Chaeyeon grinned widely.

"Did you also forget? The Head servant also said an offender should always apologize." She replied and handed the broom to them.

She sat on a stone watching them sweep the courtyard. A satisfactory smile plastered on her face.

I pray I encounter this kind of goodness for the next one month.

Not to far from where she sat stood a messenger in black robes watching her with a quite perplexed look behind his mask. He returned to inform the crown Prince.

"Who's there, bring in more sweets." The second Prince said to the servant who bowed and exited the large open Royal villa where the Princes always gathered.

"Fifth brother, you must be elated now that you're back in the Palace." The third Prince said to the fifth Prince who choked on his sweets.

"Not funny third brother. I just hope not to encounter any more mishaps." He said in reply.

The crown Prince smiled warmly. "She's quite harmless fi you ask me." He said.

The fifth Prince humphed. "Easy for you to say, who wants to die anyway?"

"Brother, I heard a Lotus lake is being cultivated." The fourth Prince said. The fifth Prince looked at him surprised.

"A Lotus lake? Why?" He looked at the crown Prince.

"Well, Royal Father and Mother are very concerned about your health. Should the case be that your sickness should resurfaces, the lake will be filled with the Temple's holy water." The crown Prince explained.

The fifth Prince stood up abruptly. "Wouldn't that mean more vengeful ghosts?!! I can't allow that. I have to see this lake myself." He sail and walked out.

"Does he know where it is?" The fourth Prince asked. "He'll probably walk around and return fruitless. He's like that anyway," the second Prince said rather unbothered.

"Come on brother, you know how worried mother would be if something happens to him." The crown Prince said.

The second Prince scoffed. "Why don't they lock him up instead." He retorted.

The crown Prince sighed.

The fifth Prince walked around the premises of the Palace still searching for the Lotus lake. "I should've asked for the location before leaving." He muttered exhausted.

"I should head back."

As he was about returning, he heard a loud scream.

Meanwhile...

Chaeyeon dragged her broom and worn-out body towards the Western Palace. "Just how large is this place? This body is not helping at all!" She groaned.

"Han chaeyeon, what have you being doing with your life?" She asked poking her herself.

As she walked along, she heard a piercing scream. "Help, there's a pervert here!"

Chaeyeon's steps halted.

"A pervert?! If there was one thing she hated, it was those bunch of perverted men."

She turned and started running in the direction of the voice. As she approached, she saw the culprit running right in her direction.

Chaeyeon's grip on her broom tightened. He looked well off also. It was very disgusting. "There is really lots of dirt in this Palace," she said.

As the culprit made his way past her, she placed her broom right in front of him.

A light thud was heard.

"Sorry, did you get hurt? You see, I just have this urge to always clean up garbage." She said with a sneer.

The culprit managed to get up. "What? Garbage? Who are you referring to? Me?" He asked.

"Who else do you think I'm referring to you perverted scoundrel!" She yelled.

The culprit's eyes widened.

"Pervert?! Look... you... must have it all wrong. I'm not a pervert! I was... I mean... I"

Chaeyeon grabbed his collar. "I'm really going to teach you a lesson." Having said that, she landed a solid punch on his cheek.

The culprit stumbled backwards, his lips bleeding. He raised his hand to touch his lips. He looked at Chaeyeon with wide eyes.

"Look, I'm bleeding! How dare you-" he wasn't even halfway through with his sentence but Chaeyeon had grabbed him again and kicked him right in between his legs.

He crumbled to the floor; his eyes rolling to the back of his head. "I'm about to die!" He yelled.

"Oh you should!" She yelled also and climbed on top  him. "I will kill you myself." She said and bit his neck hard.

The culprit couldn't help but scream out in pain. His hand found her hair and he pulled at it mercilessly. "Leave me alone!" He yelled and pushed her away.

He tried to crawl away but Chaeyeon grabbed his legs and pulled him back. He kicked and flung his arms and legs in every direction in order to escape but Chaeyeon held him still.

"Where do you think you're going? You cannot leave just yet." She said. The culprit continued yelling, "you're crazy! Let me go!"

Chaeyeon climbed on top him again and reached for his hair but this time, he dodged her every attempt. "Not my hair, not my hair!" He was sobbing already.

Chaeyeon scoffed. "You ruined mine already. What do you expect?" She asked.

The culprit shuddered in fear.

Just at that moment, four Princes arrived at the scene.

"What's going on here?" The second Prince asked.

"Fifth brother?!!" The third Prince burst into laughter.

The fifth Prince held Chaeyeon's hand. "Thank goodness, get this beast off me!" He pleaded hoarsely.

Chaeyeon tried to release herself from his hold but strangely enough it was firm.

Strange. Where did he suddenly get the energy from? Could it be this body? She thought.

I really miss my body.

She raised her head and bashed it on his. His grip loosened immediately and he passed out. Chaeyeon rolled off him.

That felt good." She said.

The fourth Prince however panicked. "Your Highness!"
