12. Legion
I have a guess.
Currently, Phone Eun-jeong has become a plaything for Ha So-ri, who's one of the worst bitches in the Ha Family, and you could think it's Ha Yeon-seo's revenge.
Of course, that's just her delusion.
Yeonseo never did anything to her.
Sure, she's annoying as hell, keeps clinging on, has no sense of her place, a total unlucky bitch, but once that moment passes, Yeonseo doesn't even think about her.
Thinking Yeonseo did something to her is self-consciousness overload from the start.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was arrogant!"
"...."
Even if you ask, all that comes back is "I'm sorry."
She doesn't say exactly why she's doing this.
Is she just blindly bowing down first?
"Yeah, I get that you're sorry, but why the fuck are you flipping out at me? Can't you understand words?"
"That's...."
"And who can't talk big? Bowing down is just closing your eyes once and done. Who cares what political bullshit you're plotting next?"
"No! I really, truly regret my mistakes... that's why I came here like this...."
"...."
Lies.
Would someone who regrets it wake up a sleeping person by making a huge racket?
At least by Yeonseo's common sense, it's bullshit that doesn't add up front to back.
She's probably trying to get something out of this apology.
Like escaping from being Ha So-ri's plaything.
Of course, that's beyond Yeonseo's abilities.
So-ri's higher up than her, and she's got thin affection or concept for bloodlines, so no way she'd listen no matter what Yeonseo says.
But....
This rude bitch is coming at her with such a low posture, so maybe play with her a little.
For revenge too.
"You really mean it?"
"Yes...."
"You really... regret bothering me and acting up?"
"Really. Please believe me."
Puk.
Eun-jeong slams her forehead into the floor again.
Her body trembling all over—it looks genuine at a glance.
"Hmm~ Yeah? Alright. You're sorry. Holding on forever would be undignified too."
"...!"
"Then, as a sign of reconciliation, let's have a cup of tea."
"Th-thank you!!"
Forgiveness?
This easily?
This is... the grace of a great one...?
Eun-jeong lifts her face, filled with hope and joy.
But....
Swipe.
A weird sight enters her eyes.
Yeonseo is taking off her shoes.
White bare feet.
As pretty and well-maintained as her long fingers.
But the important thing is why the hell is she suddenly taking off her shoes.
"You probably don't even know what this is and just chugged it down since it's in front of you, but it's super expensive. Made by grinding special herbs from the 23rd floor and mana-infused stones—top-shelf stuff. Tastes good, good for health... boosts mana too...."
"...?"
"So, wouldn't it be a waste to throw it away?"
Yeonseo smiles faintly.
A beautiful smile, but Eun-jeong gets chills all over.
Pat pat.
She lightly places her foot on the removed shoe and tilts the teapot over it.
The tea soaks her foot thoroughly, pools inside the shoe, overflows and dirties the floor.
Once it's soaked enough, Yeonseo fills her own cup and extends her foot to Eun-jeong.
"Here. A cup for reconciliation."
"...."
She smiles and holds up her own teacup.
Truly elegant and beautiful even to another woman, but to Eun-jeong, she looks like a demon.
'Fuck... as expected of the Ha Family...!'
Yeonseo's foot soaked in hot tea.
And she's offering it as "a cup for reconciliation."
Eun-jeong holds back the tears welling up again and sticks out her tongue.
"Th-thank you... I'll partake gratefully...."
+++
Swipe.
"Umm... our Eun-jeong...... hmm?"
An arm flailing on the huge bed.
Normally, he'd savor the soft feel of the woman's body and sink back into deep sleep, but not today.
"......What?"
Empty spot beside him.
The already big bed feels even emptier.
"......"
So-ri sits up with messy hair.
Half-closed eyes glance to the side—only the mark of where someone was remains.
"...Bathroom?"
Did I torment her too much?
Sometimes after pounding her pussy all night, she ends up going to the bathroom a lot.
If that's it, no need to worry......
"No. Not bathroom... she bounced."
Today was the last day—Eun-jeong was set to be transferred to Sihwan.
She'd even told her herself, and back then Eun-jeong was so shocked she couldn't even close her mouth properly.
"That fucking bitch keeps pissing me off."
So if she's gonna bolt, it's today.
Somehow escape this place and hide somewhere.
"Ha. You think I can't catch you?"
Why doesn't she know she can't escape.
Ding.
Right then, a text arrives on her phone.
-Eun-jeong is at our house.
From Yeonseo.
"Oh?"
Why'd she run specifically there?
A quick think, and the conclusion comes easy.
She begged Yeonseo, So-ri's granddaughter and Sihwan's girlfriend, to at least block the transfer to Sihwan.
"Look at this sly bitch. Rolling her little brain all the way here."
Whether affair or whatever, normally no woman wants her boyfriend getting a new girl. She'd think mentioning that would make Yeonseo block it.
Plus, she's So-ri's granddaughter.
In every way, Yeonseo's the best choice to block this transfer.
"Go get her and educate her right...... wait, no, hold on."
She stops in front of the door, about to fetch the cheeky Eun-jeong herself.
"As the saying goes, a slave should be handled by her owner...... Should I send our Sihwan? To Yeonseo's house."
A brilliant idea.
"Yeonseo hasn't even lost her virginity yet, right? Might as well tell her to have some fun with Yeonseo too."
Instead of going herself, send the new owner Sihwan.
"Yeah, yeah. That paints a nicer picture."
Having decided, she giggles and opens the door.
+++
"Ah~. So, you want me to block the transfer to that human?"
"...Yes. Please... I'm begging you like this!!"
After licking Yeonseo's feet and drinking every drop of tea pooled in her shoes, fully submitting in humiliation, Eun-jeong had no more reservations.
Whatever she was told to do—anything at all—she banged her forehead on the floor over and over, sweetly took Yeonseo's slaps. She even bowed and apologized to the steward she'd been rude to.
And so, the grace(?) finally descends.
Yeonseo asked what she could even do for her, and she quickly spilled: "Block the transfer to Ryu Si-hwan."
"Just grant me this, and I won't cause trouble ever again. I won't even step in Yeonseo-nim's shadow. Please!!"
"Hmm."
"Please, just not being sold to a human...!"
Transfer to Ryu Si-hwan.
She knew some deal would happen after the Mock Raid, but didn't expect just tossing Eun-jeong away.
'No. Clan Head was gonna give this bitch to me too. Was she just looking for somewhere to dump her?'
Anyway, a woman who always pulls off outlandish shit.
Even if it's a lowly family, she's Noblesse—handing her straight to a human? No normal person would think of that.
"But aren't you kinda close with our Clan Head anyway? Honestly, from my position, fucking a woman seems better than a man~."
"Wh-what do you mean... with a human...! Just thinking about it is disgusting!"
"......Disgusting?"
"Better same sex th—"
Pow!
Yeonseo kicks her side as she's bowing her head.
"Gah!!"
Her body rolls and tumbles a couple times.
"Wh-why—"
Crunch.
Yeonseo steps on her head and laughs coldly.
"Are you picking on me right now?"
"Th-that's not...!"
Why the sudden flip?
Eun-jeong desperately racks her brain.
Why all of a sudden......
'...Fuck.'
Then it hits her.
The human she called disgusting is Yeonseo's boyfriend. Of course she'd be pissed calling her lover disgusting.
Even if that's not the issue, Yeonseo's fucked Sihwan anyway, so by Eun-jeong's words, she's a woman who did "disgusting things."
Crunch.
"Well, yeah. No way you'd bow your head. Almost fell for it again?"
"No... I didn't mean... kugh!"
"Yeah. How pathetic must it feel for our esteemed 3rd Rank Commissioner to act all high and mighty when you've fucked that disgusting human up the ass, huh?"
Yeonseo grinds her head underfoot then lifts her foot.
Feeling this is fucked, Eun-jeong clings to her leg right away.
"R-real! Total mistake! Words slipped out! Forgive me just once, please!"
Hugging Yeonseo's leg, bawling her eyes out, then rubbing her hands together pleading.
Showing every bit of ugliness and misery.
But the bus has left.
Yeonseo's expression is endlessly cold.
"My forgiveness is expensive. Way more than trash like you can afford."
"...."
"If you fuck up, own it, right?"
"Grind... please... I'm begging like this...."
She's starting to feel it.
That it's over.
But Eun-jeong can't stop.
Like grasping at straws, she has to cling to Yeonseo.
Even if it means getting trampled and insulted—she doesn't want to be a human's sex toy.
Knock knock knock.
-Miss, Ryu Si-hwan-nim has arrived.
