Chapter 89

“Huh? How about clearing away this pathetic table?”

Without knowing what I was thinking, the man opened his mouth again.

“Did you come here on contract? Or were you sold for money?”

Then what would you do?

I stood with one leg cocked, listening to his words as if daring him to try me.

“I feel most sorry for girls like you. Why don’t you quit this hard work and just pour drinks by my side instead? I’m saying this because your face is too precious to waste.”

The man who had been chattering away swept his drowsy, unfocused eyes over my body from top to bottom.

Gulp.

Why are you swallowing your saliva?

This perverted bastard does have eyes to see with.

I let out a deep sigh and warned him kindly.

“Please just leave.”

Even though it was broad daylight, the smell of alcohol wafted strongly from him.

They say you shouldn’t deal with drunk people.

I repeated the character for patience in my mind and gave him a chance.

“Hahaha! What a spirited personality! I like it!”

As expected, he wasn’t listening to reason.

Today was a meaningful day for me too, so I really tried to let it pass quietly, but it seems that won’t work.

How did such an idiot get into the Hyeon-ma Tak Family?

‘Ah.’

Because of his cheap way of speaking, I belatedly noticed his fancy clothing.

That meant this bastard was also a formally invited guest of the Tak Family.

Obviously some spoiled young master from a family with power reaching the heavens.

Talking about seclusion and such, he must have just finished training and come out into the world, hungry for women.

Fine, I’ll understand that much.

He’s a grown adult man, so that could happen!

But you should handle that yourself.

Why are you causing trouble in the wrong place, damn it.

It’s because of bastards like you that the maids are tired!

Wow, suddenly my previous job came to mind and killing intent surged.

I did well hiding and just doing laundry. Otherwise, I would have caused a huge incident before this!

“Beautiful flowers naturally have thorns! Kuhahaha!”

Now he’s even cackling?

When I laughed along because it was so absurd, he suddenly reached his hand toward me.

“My pretty one, how about sharing some intimate pleasures with this young master…!”

What, you bastard?

Share what with you?

The moment I met his lecherous gaze, something inside me snapped.

Why did I endure this long just to hear more of his words?

Thwack!

Before he could finish speaking, I kicked hard between his legs with all my strength.

“Aaaah!”

The man collapsed, clutching his vital parts.

Curled up on the floor in pain, he seemed to be in tremendous agony.

So why did you touch someone?

“I’m busy today so I’ll let it slide this time, but if I catch you again next time, I’ll completely destroy you!”

“You, you bitch dare!”

What?

Was that just an act?

The man who had fallen got up cursing.

It was my mistake to show some mercy in my kick because he was a guest visiting the Tak Family.

I should have gone all out to the end.

Who can I blame?

Whoosh!

I had no choice but to throw the table I was holding high into the air.

Whoooosh—

Taking advantage of that gap, the man charged at me, throwing a punch.

‘Good grief!’

He said he liked me for being pretty, but now he’s throwing punches at a woman’s face?

Seeing how he had no hesitation in punching a maid with his internal energy, he was a scoundrel among scoundrels.

He was someone without even a shred of conscience.

If I had been an ordinary servant, I might have been seriously injured by that punch and been on the verge of death or lost my life.

Fine.

You really picked the wrong person today!

I swung my sleeve toward the incoming punch.

Clang!

With a dull sound, the man’s fist was deflected helplessly.

“What!”

The man’s eyes immediately widened. He seemed shocked that I, who should have been knocked out by his punch, had blocked his attack with just my sleeve.

It’s just a waste to use Mahu’s White Jade Demonic Arts on someone like you!

“You bitch! You weren’t an ordinary maid!”

“You’re just realizing that now?”

So you should have drunk in moderation.

“Then you must be a spy from the Alliance! How dare you infiltrate the Hyeon-ma Tak Family?”

Oh my.

I’m getting this kind of misunderstanding again.

It was so absurd that laughter escaped me. But I didn’t have time for this.

“…”

The table was slowly descending from the air.

I used the White Jade Demonic Arts again to wrap around the man’s arm. Then I struck his chest with my palm.

Bang!

“Urgh!”

Thud!

The man screamed and flew backward, crashing into the floor.

This time too, I showed some restraint, so he didn’t bleed.

“Heave!”

I quickly turned around and stretched my arms high to catch the table I had thrown into the sky.

But wait?

Why do my hands feel empty?

“…!”

I was so surprised I almost fell over. The table was floating perfectly above my head.

I don’t know how to do things like levitation yet.

Then I noticed a familiar face to the left of the table.

“Y-Young Master!”

It was Eok I-geon. He had caught the table in my place.

Ah, I’m screwed.

I’m screwed again.

My heart rate rapidly accelerated.

“Wait a moment.”

Eok I-geon’s voice as he handed me the tray was extremely calm.

However, a chilling aura was already covering his entire body.

Not only that.

His eyes had rolled back severely.

The timing was quite unfortunate.

The bastard who had been blown away by my palm strike half-rose and spewed out curses.

“You bitch! Do you think you can live after making me like this! I’ll tear your body to shreds and throw it to the dogs!”

“….”

Eok I-geon turning toward the man looked like slow motion to me.

Oh, what should I do?

That guy looks like he’s going to die.

“It’s no use running away! No matter where you go, our family will chase you to the end!”

Shut your mouth, you crazy bastard!

You’re already on the verge of death, can’t you feel the atmosphere?

And don’t you know Eok I-geon?

How could you forget a face like this so quickly!

“Um, excuse me…!”

When Eok I-geon had almost reached the man, I found myself calling out to stop him.

“Do you have something to say?”

I didn’t think Eok I-geon would answer. Looking again, his eyes had definitely rolled back completely.

“He’s Grandfather’s guest… you can’t kill him.”

This time Eok I-geon didn’t answer.

It was a bad sign.

“Please. Okay?”

“…Understood.”

My earnest plea finally got through to him.

After much consideration, he nodded. Despite appearances, Eok I-geon might be a psychopath, but he was someone who kept his promises.

And soon.

Thud thud! Thud thud thud thud!

Eok I-geon’s merciless fists struck the man’s body repeatedly.

That wasn’t martial arts.

He was just beating him randomly like beating a dog.

Thud thud thud!

Except for the first few times, not even groaning sounds could be heard from the man.

Is he dead?

Still, people shouldn’t die at the Tak Mansion on a feast day.

“S-save me….”

The man’s voice fell like sweet rain on my heart filled with worry.

Fortunately, Eok I-geon was giving him a good massage just enough to not kill him.

But in that condition, wouldn’t it be better to just die?

Ah, I don’t know either.

For now, bringing food to Grandpa Tak came first.

“Grandfather, how does it taste?”

“The skill is very good. Every single dish is neat and delicious.”

“Right? Hehe.”

It was worth carrying the tray myself. When I first entered carrying the tray, Tak Joong-hak looked very surprised.

Even so, that was all – he didn’t say anything about it, which made me feel proud for no reason.

“Sook has very skillful hands. It might be because she’s from Jamigwan, but I’d say she had natural talent from the beginning.”

I chattered away without pause. In my good mood, the words just came out naturally.

“That child became your personal maid?”

“Yes. She’s my closest friend among my peers. Thanks to her, I got to eat a lot of delicious things.”

“She’s a good child.”

“She was incredibly happy when I told her I had a grandfather. Sook wanted to serve you more than I did, so that’s why I brought this. This is really delicious. Please try it.”

The tray that Sook had put all her skills into for my sake – I was confident showing it to anyone.

“Thank you, please tell her that.”

“Yes!”

Talking with Tak Joong-hak, I really felt like I had become a grandfather and granddaughter. Having met a few times now, I didn’t feel much awkwardness anymore.

Am I quick to adapt?

‘No.’

It’s more because of Tak Joong-hak’s character in how he treats me.

I had developed such faith that whatever I did, if I were his granddaughter, he would support me without reservation.

I should do well at the banquet hall today.

“Then I’ll see you later.”

Just as I was about to get up with determination, I heard faint commotion from outside.

“Master, it seems you need to come out.”

Then the supervisor carefully called for Tak Joong-hak. A crack appeared between the brows of the man who had been resting, leaving the guest reception to his son.

He must have instinctively sensed that trouble had occurred.

‘Could it be?’

As expected, what lay before us when we went outside was the man who had harassed me that day, now beaten to a pulp and carried in, along with his family members.
