"Hurts! Where are you taking Li Jia Ying?"
"Where? Of course to your death! You should die than us."
"Eh?"
"Won't die! You're with Li Jia Ying! Hurt! Let go!"
"That's precisely why we're going to die! It's your fault!"
One of the maids who was pulling my hair shouted, fiercely glaring at me with too much hatred. She opened the door harshly pushing me inside.
"Here she is! Take care of this wench!"
The maids left pushing me to another room closing the door shut.
"Ha! You're finally here."
I looked up to see the Baba grinning at me crazily.
"Ah?"
*slap*
As usual, a warm welcome greeted me. Their love is just so extreme...I cannot.
"Because of you, I suffered so much pain! Because of you, the other palace maids continued to laugh at me!"
Well, that's not my problem! In the first place, I didn't choose you as my maid! Goodness, I'm so stressed you're making me depressed.
"Kekeke. That ends now. As long as I'll kill you just like what the Prince said then it's done."
My heart pounded. Baba trusted out a knife from her hidden pocket and directly pulled it up in front of my face as the flickering light made the scene look like a homicidal scene from some 11th-century incident.
"Hahaha! I've been waiting for this day to kill you!"
"No!"
I'm in trouble, I only have a pair of flintstone with me! I quickly dashed to open the door but it won't budge! Li Jing! Oh, Li Jing! You dork...
"Come here you fool!"
Shvt. Where to go, where to go?! I'm cornered like a pig here. There is only an oil here and a flintstone. Huh, so they intend to burn me? An arson, so painful and torturous!
Their effort in preparing for my death is unacceptable, I want a sudden death! A quick death!
My eyes narrowed as my thoughts swirled into oblivion. Fine. You want me to die this way? Then just fvck it all! I'll respond in kind.
"Don't want to die!"
I screamed in a terrifying motion quickly roaming my eyes to use something but other than the knife on her hand that's pretty useful nothing else was in here. I don't like this at all. Being pushed in a corner with no way out. Feeling overwhelmed.
It's dangerous for me.
So, it has truly come to this point huh?
I bowed down to her. "Please don't kill Li Jia Ying!"
Act like a sheep. Don't provoke her.
Timing. Wait for the timing. Don't get riled up Jun Xue.
"Hahaha."
The Head Maid grabbed my hair. Ugh, girls always like to grab other females' hair. Can't you just punch them in the face? Men's way of fighting is more effective than this...
"Yes, that's right you can't do anything in this situation. What did that Dowager even see in you and made the Emperor permit you to have an audience with him?! Hahaha! Nothing good comes when you're around."
Do you think I don't know that? Also, that Emperor had no intention of being a nice guy! Oh please, I'm not a manhwa daughter that has a cold father who gradually loves his daughter. That blessing was made for Gu Mei Xiang. Oh, I'm so mad, they don't know this kind of novels.
"Ugh."
She grabbed my chin sneering acting like a domineering tyrant yet a mouse in reality. "This face, I'll carve it well."
So this is what you and my brother have planned?
"Princess, blame yourself for being born stupid. Your mother must have regretted giving birth to you. If I was her, I would have just killed you."
That's it. I'm not riled up, I'm very much composed now.
My eyes turned clear and didn't cower like before slowly showing her my beautiful smile. "If it's mama, I'll accept it. After all, I've always lived a rotten life. It's just unacceptable that you mentioned her with your stinky mouth."
"W-Wha-Wha—!"
The Head Maid was stunned to see the change of behavior. I laughed.
"That expression is just what I wanted."
I took this to my advantage and gave her an uppercut with all my strength, hitting her five times with the flintstones grabbing the knife that had fallen on the ground.
"You..."
I didn't give her any chance to speak and kicked her, slashing the knife in her mouth.
"You're surprised I can talk and act normally?"
The Head Maid looked at me with hate as if the fool she thought was actually sane and was actually fooling her. She was fooled all along these years. At least she wasn't that smart to suspect something is wrong with me. I grinned as she tries to fight me while trying to scamper away.
"Not quite far from me."
I stabbed her right foot. Before she could even scream I slammed my body on top of her, I elbowed her jaw and head-butted her head. Ripping her clothes and stuffing them in her mouth. Hoh, I've never done something so fast except now. So tiring, my heart is speeding up. Well, those novels had paid off this time.
Next, her left feet.
"!!!"
Now you can't walk. Oh, why not stab her stomach too? Hahaha.
"!!!"
"You piece of shvt, do you know how much I wanted to do this?"
I grinned realizing why my heart was pounding so badly before.
At first, it was a little bit of apprehension and fear since I know there was something wrong. But right now that kind of feeling was replaced with anticipation and my excitement that was growing stronger seeing how meek Baba is holding her mouth while her other hand struggles to back away. Her words turned to a muffled gurgling sound staining the white cloth in her mouth with her own blood. Unsatisfied, I cut her lips pushing deeper to injure the innermost part of her mouth.
I hate her mouth the most. Especially those eyes of hers, it's too...blinding. Such despicable compassionate eyes. Hmm, I'll keep it as a last memoir.
"How exhilarating,"
Powerless as she is, I grabbed her hand.
"Still struggling eh?"
"Of course, your hands matter too."
Baba shook her head as tears run down her face but boy, she didn't know this act of her made me repeat it a few more times. Just like a serial killer, I am liking how she acts in front of me.
"You know, I've never thought I'll unleash this side of me. "
I told her entirely ripping all of her clothes. "I didn't even know I have this side of me. Since when? I wonder."
"You said before that I deserve pain, that's a check."
Sheesh. This knife is not enough to chop her feet at one strike. Looks like she'll have to bear more pain. How sorrowful.
"You said this face should be destroyed, my waist should have burns, and you'll cut my breasts."
I traced my fingers on the side of her breast, touching her cleavage. Man, such saggy but lovely big breast. Down to her feet as I continue to reminisce every word she told me that day. It was so vivid and full of life. Aiyo, it's quite wonderful reminiscing that time. I chuckled.
"These legs would be used in brandishing my knives. The soles of your feet would be a great feast for the hawks once it'll be hung on the tree. That's what you told me before, right Baba?"
Oh dear me. I can't help grinning with enthusiasm. It's nice, we're both alone. No one can hear her screams and the door is closed. It's romantic and sweet. Hahaha. Come to think of it, coming here, this is the only moment I've ever felt happy. It's truly an awesome experience!
"Carving my face like a masterpiece eh?"
Should I apply the Suitcase Murder but befitting this novel's time frame since I'll be chopping her in five parts or until she's all separated from the rest of her body? If only the Iron Maiden was accessible how great would it be to have her experience it!
"Hmmfp! Anmp! Chg! Mgdh!"
"Amore Mio*, I'll just skin you first."
Tearing the hem of my dress, I tied up my hair in a high ponytail and rolled my sleeves. "I'm sorry Baba, you won't be hanged on that tree. Do forgive my rough skill of skinning people, I've never done it before. No worries, I'm generous enough to give you a bit of compensation."
That is, cutting your body in small chunks if you'll act more terrified. But man, this knife is really not sharp enough! If both the knife and the user are rough knives, the meat won't be perfectly diced.
"Come to think of it, there's oil."
There are other maids in this place too. Ew, no, not like I'll eat them. Ohoho, should I try an experiment with the oil then?
"Hehe. I take that back, maybe I should thank you Li Jing this time."
How nice, to think I can exact my revenge. Standing up, I moved my plan into motion.
"You've messed with a hidden psychopath. Let me get those maids for you."
The more the merrier. Hoh, it's nice to be alive! I smiled seeing flashing in her eyes. Well, it's nice to be alive first. "Don't fret, I'll be careful."
I've seen where those two maids were going, let's hunt them down, if there are more then let's be careful.
"Really careful~"
"Mhhhf!"
Wow, that miserable expression is just so definitive. I really look like the bad guy.
"Too bad I slit your mouth before I could ask some questions."
Now that was stupid of me. I shouldn't have gotten so excited. Tsk. Tsk.
I tentatively stared at Baba. If she's left like this, Baba might try to crawl and escape. Who knows what a person that's near to death can do? Adrenaline rush? I should knock her out first.
"Let me help you sleep. Once you wake up, you'll have more of your fellow maids to join you."
I told her seeing how she tries to struggle under me. Wanting to worm her way out even if she's losing blood as she moves around so recklessly. Those frantic eyes filled with fear, anger, and resentment. Hoho, I smiled like a Chesire cat. Lovely. Very lovely.
Oh do forgive me, it makes me feel twisted. As if I was freed. Yes, my dark thoughts and subservience to be a morally righteous person was gone. It's like I'm free as if I was put behind bars and now I'm freed. Was I this corrupted before that I only discovered now?
Dear beloved mother, I know this sin shouldn't be forgiven, although you've taught your daughter to be a God-fearing person with virtue, dignity, and integrity it seems along the way I have been lost and went astray. I'm morally bent now.
"Hah, morally bent? Was that even a word?"
"Mmghh!"
I've never felt this happy before in my entire life. Oh, Jun Xue, Jun Xue, Jun Xue you are a fvcking twisted biotch.
"Hehe. The night is still young. Accept it and sleep for now. Wait for us. You won't suffer alone. Not like me."
Since there is no stone big enough to my liking and the flintstones are too small. Let's see, Baba's shoes seem to be thick and big. "Alright! Let's slap your face until you faint!"
"Ghjk—!"
"Aw come on, I was going soft just now~"
