DOOMED TO BE CANNON FODDER -1

CHAPTER -73

Ye-mama was so scared she started trembling. Though she was a married woman from the inner residence and getting on in years, she was still hard-pressed to resist the killing intent that emanated from Prince Jeon.

An aura that he painstakingly forged on the battlefield, his very presence made her face turn white. With her heart in tumultuous disarray, she forgot to stop him from barging inside.

By the time he opened the door, she mused that the two of them were husband and wife already. What was there to be afraid of? If he saw, then he saw. Thus, she extended an arm to block the two male servants behind him.

Jungkook didn't think about the two servants who didn't follow, but pushed open the door and went inside. This room had originally been used as a resting area for the kitchen chefs. The outer room had a place to boil tea and rest, while the middle was separated by a hanging curtain that was embroidered with a landscape painting. Standing outside, he could see multiple pairs of embroidered shoes at the entrance.

He didn't care who was inside and drew the curtain aside. Chaos currently reigned inside. A crowd of people were surrounding a pair of tiny white feet, pointing and gesticulating. Everyone gave a start at the entrance of a tall man, and they immediately scrambled out of his way to make a path.

This path ended at the heated brick bed that Lisa was sitting on top of. She had no idea who came in because of all the people blocking her vision, but when she heard the gaggle of girls suddenly fall silent, she realized who it was. She snuck a peek and found her household's prince standing stock-still in front of her.

She was a modern woman, to begin with, so she had no reservations about him seeing her feet. But her womanly vigilance enabled her to see how Jungkook's eyes darkened at the sight of her foot. She hastily grabbed her feet and shrank back, but he'd already emerged from the crowd. One hand grabbed her accurately by the ankle and a voice said, "Don't move."

Lisa's face immediately turned as red as a roll of silk. He'd been uneasy before, but why did he suddenly get so bold? The room was full of people...

People?

Wait, where had they all gone? Lisa's heart instantly started thumping. "It's alright. I just sprained it a bit."

"If there's anything to do, have the servants do the tasks. Otherwise, what's the use of keeping them around?" His tone was stern, making Lisa feel like she was being lectured by a teacher. She felt rather embarrassed as she lowered her head. Jungkook could hear the chill and severity of his voice. This was probably the reason she feared him!

He felt like climbing on top of her as he looked down at her cherry-red lips. However, this was the Song estate. He held back the urge and cast his gaze elsewhere. "There's nothing for you to do at the moment, so I'll have someone send you back!" Jungkook was exceedingly prone to shielding one of his own. His people would never be allowed to get hurt or be even slightly imposed on.

He assumed that this timid and docile woman would immediately nod her head and agree, but her next words were a complete surprise. "How could I do that?" Lisa regretted her words as soon as she uttered them. How dare she have the audacity to oppose this Prince Jeon? Shouldn't she be afraid of him? When she thought of his methods, her heart began to tremble.

She assumed she'd be punished and bit her lip, head lowered.

"Why?" A chilly voice sounded from above her head. The male lead was very tall, so she was still shorter even when they were both sitting on the bed.
