章節 42: Chapter 42
"Ahahaha! Ahahaha!" Mimi burst into laughter as she read Wang Han's half-rumpled letter from Chenghuan.
She lit the lamp again and settled herself right on the table, reading and waving her legs. And then, she saw the silhouette and screamed.
"It was you, is that so?" he said in a half-trembling voice.
Wang Han stood in the doorway.
"I've come back...for a letter to show to Lady..." shocked, he muttered.
"Ahahahaa!" Mimi laughed again, clapping her hands. "How perceptive you are, Your Royal Highness. Yes, that was me…" Her face suddenly lost its smile and dimmed. "Ah, so much is required to be done so that you notice my existence ..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Why did you never notice me, Your Royal Highness?" she asked with glittering tears in her eyes. Wang Han staggered. He was still not quite well from the wound, and the understanding that descended on him was so shocking that he could hardly stand on his feet. He grabbed a chest of letters standing nearby.
"Why did you never notice me?" Mimi repeated the question, approaching Wang Han.
"I do not understand what you're saying, Mimi."
"My full name is Mi Myoung. Did you know that?"
"I did not."
"Of course you did not. Who cares about the maid's full name?" A tear ran down Mimi's cheek. "And yet… the maid Mi Myoung has always loved you. And only you."
"You poisoned Chenghuan, did not you?" Wang Han stretched out and looked into Mimi's eyes — so cold they were, even when they were full of tears. It was true that he had never looked into her eyes before in the way one looks into the eyes of people whose existence is recognized and appreciated. She was always for him only one of the many servants, and he, as a royal, did not even know half of them by name.
"What are you telling, Your Royal Highness… It was Heonui who poisoned Lady Chenghuan," Mimi drawled, wiping away a tear. "I am not capable of such cruel things."
"Liar!" Wang Han shouted, raising his hand to her.
He longed to hit her, but she covered her face with her hands and flung herself at his knees.
"Do not destroy me, Your Royal Highness! I love you! I have always loved you and did everything to make you happy!"
He pushed her away in disgust.
"What have you done for me, you wench! Get away from me! Your fate is predetermined, and tomorrow, you will be publicly punished!"
"No! No!" Mimi screamed and suddenly fell silent.
There was a voice and the sound of glasses downstairs. Wang Han recognized the voice of Heonui and Tan Tan. Then, everything was silent. Mimi stood up, straightened her skirt, and smiled sadly.
"We do not need her. Neither she nor he was ever needed by us. They have always stood in our way."
Prince turned pale.
"What are you saying…"
"I did not want Wang Tae to die. The poison was meant for her. And now, it is too the poison for her."
"Harpy! I will kill you! Oh, you monster!" Wang Han roared, lunging at Mimi and trying to strangle her, but she, coughing and waving him away, hissed:
"It is too late, I am afraid. Listen carefully, Your Royal Highness..."
There was a sound of glass downstairs.
Heonui was pouring herself some wine.
