Reborn As The Wife Of Two Men (3) Prisoner in a Pretty Cage

Episode 3

- Prisoner in a Pretty Cage -

Rosalind King [FL]

What?!

Adonis King [ML 1]

How hilarious to think that you could escape me.

He smirked before passing by me coldly.

I glared at his back as he walked away.

Rosalind King [FL]

(No wonder the original owner was always so sad...)

Rosalind King [FL]

(These men only wanted her for her beauty and treated her like sh*t.)

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

AH THERE YOU ARE!

I saw my lady-in-waiting approaching me through a distance.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

I've been looking everywhere for you!

Rosalind King [FL]

...

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

The Young Master wants to push the wedding plans. It'll be postponed to tomorrow.

Rosalind King [FL]

I know.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

You already met him?

Rosalind King [FL]

Unfortunately.

I turned back to the painting and pointed at the man beside me, my first husband.

Rosalind King [FL]

Tell me about him, Anna.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Master Ares?

Rosalind King [FL]

Yes.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Ares in Greek mythology was the name of the God of War.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Here, in this city, he is a true God of War. Terrorizing the people...

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

A secret to say but, even I am afraid to face him.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Even his own men and mother are vary of his nasty temper and glare!

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

He hasn't shown his face in your quarters for two years and I thought I'd forget what he looked like.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

But his terrifying image is hard to forget.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Perhaps, has My Lady forgotten about him?

I sighed.

Rosalind King [FL]

It seems so.

Rosalind King [FL]

Alas, I don't care about him anymore.

Rosalind King [FL]

That man is only married to me out of spite. There is no love or lust.

Rosalind King [FL]

His face doesn't have to be remembered by me.

Rosalind King [FL]

He doesn't even come to see me.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

My Lady, don't say that!

Rosalind King [FL]

I remember how you were scolding me in the morning by calling my name.

Rosalind King [FL]

Now, it's suddenly "My Lady"?

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Uh- I apologize for my outburst this morning. I was only concerned for you.

I walked closer to Anna and glared into her eyes.

Rosalind King [FL]

I hope so.

Rosalind King [FL]

Because...

I touched her shoulder and squeezed it.

Rosalind King [FL]

I absolutely detest people that pretend.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

?!!

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

(Sh- She's suddenly s- so s- scary?!!)

I took a step back.

Rosalind King [FL]

Well then, have a great day! ^^

I shot her one last glance before walking away back to my bedroom.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

The look in madam's eyes...

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Has changed.

•

There was nowhere in this mansion I could go to.

I was forbidden from entering Ares's quarters since our wedding, and I was banned from ever leaving the King's Mansion.

I was basically a prisoner in a pretty cage, and that pissed me off very much.

Rosalind King [FL]

The past Rosalind would be a good girl, do her duties, and sit around moping.

Rosalind King [FL]

But there's no way... I would do something like that.

I drew the silk curtains away and inspected the window.

Rosalind King [FL]

Doesn't seem too high...

There was a balcony below which I could jump on to and from there, I could find my way down.

Rosalind King [FL]

The only problem is escaping security...

These men were probably highly trained and bribes would not work on them.

Rosalind King [FL]

(Totally like I have anything to bribe them with...)

I probably couldn't fight my way out either.

Perhaps...

Rosalind King [FL]

I could seduce them...?

I smiled.

This plan should work.

And tomorrow, I'll be a free woman.

Rosalind King [FL]

(Hmm... Where's my phone?)

Why didn't I have a phone with me?

Rosalind King [FL]

Anna?!

I called out, and she scurried inside the bedroom, answering my call.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Yes, My Lady?

Rosalind King [FL]

Do I not have a phone or what?

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Uh-

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

I think you may have forgotten.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Because we always stay in this mansion and never go out, we don't get phones.

Rosalind King [FL]

WHAT?! (⁠☉_☉⁠)?!

How would I know about the news regarding my death? What happened to the Kang Selena? My body?

I sighed.

Rosalind King [FL]

(This place is such a pain in the a*s.)

I need to get out of here.

Rosalind King [FL]

So you're telling me-

Rosalind King [FL]

Never in the two years I've been here, was I let out?

Rosalind King [FL]

Not even for shopping?

The lady-in-waiting reluctantly shook her head.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

No ma'am.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

The maids do the cooking and cleaning.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

And we or the Young Masters buy your dresses for you.

Great.

Simply great.

At this point I'm starting to think how Rosalind didn't kill herself earlier.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

My Lady...

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

You seem to have forgotten quite a lot-

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Would you like to meet up with the family doctor?

Rosalind King [FL]

💡

In case my initial plan of getting out of the window doesn't work, I could always injure myself to the point that I had to get admitted at a hospital.

It was a good back-up plan.

Rosalind King [FL]

(But these people didn't even get me to a hospital when I almost drowned in the lake.)

Rosalind King [FL]

(Just how far should I go to get out of this mess?)

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Is everything alright, My Lady?

Rosalind King [FL]

Tell me more about the second Young Master.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Ah, the name Adonis is Greek refers to the most beautiful and attractive man.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

He was almost called the God of Beauty.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

And he is quite charming.

The lady-in-waiting blushed.

Rosalind King [FL]

Please focus. (⁠ノ⁠ಥ_ಥ⁠)⁠ノ

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Young Master Ares is rarely seen as he's very busy dealing with the matters of the mafia, while Young Master Adonis handles the company, King Enterprise.

Rosalind King [FL]

Hmm... What about my mother-in-law?

Rosalind King [FL]

Sharon King?

Rosalind King [FL]

She seemed like a very evil person to me.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

Well, she does everything for her family and her sons.

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

I dare say, she's selfish.

Rosalind King [FL]

What kind of mother would want both of her sons to marry the same woman?

Rosalind King [FL]

Isn't that messed up?

Anna Kim (FL's lady-in-waiting)

There's something about yourself that you have yet to know, My Lady.

Rosalind King [FL]
