Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

Roaming her eyes around, Soohyun took in the view of her new bedroom and interior of the room made her fascinated. The room was bigger than the one in the mansion.

Walking over to the bed, she sat down upon it, and feeling that bed was satisfyingly bouncy, a wide smile formed on her face.

The shades of blue and black around the room looked beautiful to her, and the intricate patterns on the wall did not disappoint her.

"I am presuming that you like this room very much," Minhyun vocalised as he sat down on the bed beside her.

Raising her legs on top of the bed, Soohyun folded them before her, and she nodded her head towards Minhyun. A certain type of sparkle was there in her eyes.

"Yeah! It seems that the interior designing of this room was done by a professional," She commented.

"After that meeting with the King, this is one way to feel better," She added, "I swear that King made me want to punch him, and he made me more angry than you did in the beginning. Too bad, I would not be ever able to punch him."

Han Minhyun's lips curved to form a slight smirk, and he then vocalised, "Lee Soohyun, is that you being protective over me? That is quite surprising!"

Soohyun's nose scrunched up when she noticed the amusement in Minhyun's eyes, and she had an inkling that he was enjoying this reaction from her.

"That is not the important part, but your reply at the end was funny," Soohyun expressesd, "The look on his face at the end made me want to laugh, but I think I did a decent job at holding it in."

"It is not uncommon for the Kings or any of the Leaders to behave that way. I have been deemed insolent by him multiple number of times," Minhyun said.

"Geez! That is because your reaction did not give that jerk any type of satisfaction. I don't know how you held it in though. He even wanted to make you one of the suspects when you have been putting in your best efforts into it. That is what I call unprofessional and abuse of power," Soohyun voiced out.

She then added, "And also stupidity."

Soohyun's words caused for Minhyun to let out a chuckle, and he stated, "I would dare you to say these words in front of him."

Raising one of her eyebrows, she vocalised, "Are you sure? Because I honestly can say those words, but I do not want to be prisoned. That King is absolutely nonsensical. He might even sentence me to death."

At that moment, Minhyun found her reaction comical, and couple of laughs escaped his throat. His laughter caused a slight smile form upon his face.

"Geez! You are actually finding this funny when I am trying to defend you," Soohyun vocalised, "Han Minhyun, you are really, really, really mean."

"It was just too funny!" Minhyun voiced out, "How you rant out the complains so loudly, but in front of the actual person, you are absolutely timid.."

Soohyun scoffed and said, "Laugh all you want. I am happy to have serve as a source of amusement for you. Tch! So immature!"

"Alright, alright, back to the serious topic. I won't laugh. Is there any questions you have for me?" He vocalised.

"Finally." Soohyun sighed.

"There is one thing I am curious about. How does the king plan to punish you?" Soohyun questioned while her eyes stared at Minhyun inquisitively.

His demeanour changed to something serious before Minhyun replied, "There are lots of type of punishment. But for this incident of mine, I guess he will be keeping me without blood for a month while physical attacks."

Imagining about what Minhyun had just told her was enough to cause chills to go down Soohyun's back, and she grimaced at the thought of it. Thinking about Minhyun going through that caused an ache to go through her heart.

"Isn't this unjust though? Isn't this too much for just not accepting your position or not listening to couple of his orders?" Soohyun asked as her voice became softer.

At that moment, she knew that she would do anything possible by her to prevent Minhyun from undergoing that. Seeing Minhyun in that situation was not something she wanted.

Shrugging his shoulders, Minhyun vocalised, "Don't worry. It is not the first time and quite normal."

Soohyun furrowed her eyebrows and stated, "The fact that you consider this to be normal is concerning. Even if you did some type of offense, this is just too much."

Bringing his hand closer to Soohyun, he touched the top of her head with his palm, and patting it softly, he said, "You're forgetting that I do the same thing to the people whom I consider to be my enemy; This is just how things work around here. You will find yourself getting used to it soon enough."

Shaking her head, Soohyun voiced out, "I don't care if this is blind trust, but I know that you would not be acting this unfairly. About my matter, there was no need for him to hand out punishment. If I don't have problems with it, how could he dare to punish you on this? This is basically our personal matter!"

Han Minhyun let out a chuckle at her words and expressed, "I can't argue against your words, but Soohyun, I am pretty sure you understand how the world works. The ones in the top has the absolute power, and them abusing that power is considered completely normal. Now, let's talk about something else."

Lee Soohyun understood what Minhyun was trying to convey and knew that it is totally common. However, since he was concerned here, she found herself getting too emotional.

Rising her head, Soohyun placed a soft kiss on Minhyun's lips, and pulling back, she looked at him resolutely before saying, "I just hope I can provide you with as much as comfort you have given me."
