Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Beauty and Masked Beast

There was no sadness within Soohyun after she had heard what Minhyun had informed her on neither was she trying to show such emotions; only curiosity was there within her.

Han Minhyun had no clue on how to take this. Nonetheless, he did not think that he required pity at that moment, and pity might cause Soohyun to behave strangely with him. So, he was probably glad for it.

"Han Sungmin approached me after this," Minhyun vocalised, "He said that if my parent's identity were to be released, both my brother and I will be killed. At that time, I was aware of how true that was. 

After all, the King would not take it nicely to know that one of the Leaders tried to assassinate him, and it was normal to expect him killing my brother and me. However, Sungmin said that he will not be revealing this on one condition; I will be following his orders.

Considering how our safety depended on it, I agreed to it. But no one was allowed to know about. Seo Taemin got to find out about it though, and he was angered.

He was really close to my Father, so it was expected for him to feel this way. At that moment, he wanted to reveal Han Sungmin and get him exterminated as well.

However, I begged him to stop. If the truth came out, even Seo Taemin would not be spared because aware of the truth. In order to keep on living, I did not want the truth to come out.

I made Sungmin send Eunwoo away from this World because the truth could come out any second, and I did not want Eunwoo to die. Even if I were to die, he must live on. That is why, I have sent him to the surface.

But I did not expect him to join hands with the Blue Clan. He knew that Han Sungmin was responsible for our parent's death, and he wanted to take revenge against it. Moreover, it was a huge shock on him when he saw me siding with Sungmin.

He was extremely hurt, and I suppose that is why he decided to join hands with the Blue Clan. But I made Sungmin promise that even if we go against the Blue Clan, Eunwoo should be protected.

The power of the Red Clan is not that wide on the surface, and that way, Eunwoo will be able to be protected as long as he stays up there. However, things would be difficult for him once he comes down here. He would not be accepted here."

"Wow!" That's all Soohyun could say after hearing all of that.

"Why didn't you tell Eunwoo about the agreement? Would not things be better this way?" Soohyun questioned after thinking for a while.

"That way, I am afraid he wouldn't be leaving the Underworld. Even if he was merely eight years old, he was extremely mature for that age. Very soon after that, Sungmin had sent away his son, the Prince, Han Minhyun, as well.

A Prince was not able to hide his powers for long. Sooner or later, he would be revealed, and unless or until the Prince was strong enough, it would not be smart for him to show up. Otherwise, the King, Kim Namhyuk, might kill him.

After a year, I took up the identity as Han Minhyun, and Sungmin had the excuse of how due to playing around with the wrong spell, my face had quite a lot of changes. In order to not reveal that I was Min Jaehwan, I always wore a mask on my face. 

He had sent me to the surface after a couple of years, so that I will be able to build big connections at there. Out of all the families, Han Family has the most influence on the surface. 

Yong Group belongs to Han Sungmin, and I am the acting Chairman. He took me to be someone smart and talented with desperation to protect people closest to me. That's why, for him, I am the perfect tool.

Increasing my power on the surface would intensify his powers there as well, and in that way, he will be able to protect his son better as well. The entire responsibility of managing his son on me.

Oh Chaeyoung was sent to be his sister on the surface by me, and considering how she was from a far branch family, it would not be that suspicious. Her other responsibility was to protect him," Minhyun explained.

That is when Soohyun recalled about something. It was mentioned on the book on Oh Chaeyoung had a younger brother; it seemed that this brother of Chaeyoung was the Prince.

"Does that mean Chaeyoung knows about the truth?" Soohyun questioned.

Shaking his head, Minhyun voiced out, "Ancient spell was used to conceal his power, but that would not be able to have his effect forever. It might have started to become weak by now. 

Chaeyoung knows about how the Prince is someone important, but that is just it. Seo Jihyun is not even aware of the truth. Working for me, he might have picked up some things, but he is loyal. 

As for Hwang Yejoon, he was a very close friend to me when I had the identity of Min Jaehwan, and a silly slip up from me was able to let him know that I am Minhyun. But he never let the cat out of the bag and has been supportive to me throughout the entire time."

"So, basically, the only time you can come clear about your identity is when the Prince comes for his throne. For that, if the King doesn't agree to it, does it mean that he has to fight against the King? You would have to go against the King when it came to that, right?" Soohyun voiced out.

Minhyun nodded and said, "That was the part of the deal."

"You don't have to be under Sungmin's control though. You have as much— if not, then more— dirt on him," Soohyun pointed out.

"I am well aware of that," Minhyun stated, "But the risk is too high. Other than that, I don't like the current king as well. The new Prince is better in my opinion, and I know his personality well. I wouldn't let him be controlled by Sungmin, and Sungmin will definitely be getting what he deserves."

Lee Soohyun saw the unwavering determination in Han Minhyun's eyes, and she was aware of how he meant every one of those words. She just prayed for everything to go well.
