Became The Tyrant’s Companion Rabbit

0.9. I am cursed (1)

The emotions that bloomed in me were very embarrassing. But she had no time to hesitate.

"stop."

He untied his arms and strode toward them. Then he bit everyone and picked up the mysterious woman himself.

The hand that put the woman down on the bed was as careful as handling a lover.

As the imperial court approached, Tenoch and Recardo took a few steps back and turned their backs. after a while

“There is no special trauma.”

The imperial physician who finished the treatment answered.

“Then why aren’t you waking up?”

Tenoch asked, still with his back turned.

“He just fell into a deep sleep.”

“… … Are you sleeping?”

"Yes."

"Right."

When I was young and hid in the Forbidden Library, I read a story about a prisoner in an ancient forbidden book passed down from generation to generation in the imperial family.

The silver rabbit disappeared and a woman appeared in its place, with the same silver hair as the rabbit's fur.

So, I hoped in my heart that maybe that sleeping woman was the original shape of the hair ball.

However, unlike the rabbit, there are no injuries at all, and he just fell asleep... … .

'wait.'

Tenoch was once again taken aback by what I thought.

'I was expecting... … ? what the hell... … ?'

For some reason, it felt like hot air was rising from the back of my neck. She awkwardly brushed her neck and turned her body toward Recardo.

The aide kept his lips tightly shut and his gaze downcast. Tenoch knew perfectly well that this was the look Recardo makes when he's struggling.

I wanted to wait for him to organize his thoughts and open his mouth first, but I couldn't because I was impatient.

“Tell me.”

Recardo's gaze, which had been looking down at Tenoch's instructions, reached the lord.

"It's a careful guess, but I thought that maybe Kimimi-kwan-nim could be a rabbit."

Tenoch frowned. At that moment, the emotion of 'Oops' appeared on the aide's face.

“… … sorry. I once entered the Forbidden Library out of curiosity. I read a story about a prisoner in some of the books I read then.”

This was definitely something to be punished, but right now finding out about that woman was the priority.

“I will take responsibility for that. Continue with what you were talking about.”

“Yes, according to records handed down from ancient times, one of the most important characteristics that distinguishes the Hare Myo tribe is 'silver hair'. Your Majesty, have you ever seen a human with silver hair in your life?”

Tenoch couldn't part his tightly closed lips. That was in line with the answer of 'no'.

“What shall I do?”

Recardo asked. Despite the chaotic situation, the Emperor's expression remained calm.

“Pils of the Imperial Palace.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Aide Recardo.”

“I am listening.”

Two servants in the emperor's bedroom stared at the master of the empire with determined expressions.

“Today, for the time being, only you should know.”

“Is it possible?”

“I take orders.”

Tenoch sighed and looked down at the silver-haired woman who was asleep.

***

Jenny blinked her eyelids to clear her blurry vision.

'Did he pass out again?'

After waking up in this world, he often collapses and wakes up with a daze.

'How many paintings have this been? It's Yeoju's role to faintly fall down. Why me… … .'

“Are you awake?”

Then, a familiar voice resounded in the same space. Jenny turned her gaze from the ceiling to the direction where the sound came from.

As expected, Tenok was sitting there. As always, neat and tall.

“A face that works hard today as well.”

“Ten days? What do you mean?”

The man untied his arm and asked.

“What do you mean, hard work… … . Huh.”

Surprised, Jennie hurriedly tightened her breath and pursed her lips.

'Why does my voice come out?'

It was definitely a thought that I thought to myself. But, unlike usual, that heart came out of his mouth.

What a human voice!

Jenny jumped up from where she was lying. Her sudden standing caused her blood pressure to drop, causing her eyes to spin.

When I frowned, I heard the sound of clicking my tongue.

“It was recorded that the holiest race among beastmen was the Rabbit Miao tribe, but he has a surprisingly scolding personality.”

“… … What?"

Rabbit tribe? What else are you talking about? However, the words criticizing himself were more jarring than that.

"If I'm loud, you're cranky."

"Is it?"

"completely. Didn't you know?"

“No one ever said that to me in my life.”

“Ugh, no luck.”

Jennie smiled brightly and spoke her honest feelings.

"It's the first time I've heard that word."

“I guess so. by the way… … .”

Jenny looked down at her hands.

"Ugh."

This time it was really a human hand. A hand covered with transparent skin that was pale enough to be pale. His long, thin fingers were graceful and full of grace even when he opened and closed his fists.

The silver hair that fell to one side was as soft and shiny as expensive silk.

Jenny, who had been examining herself, looked at Tenoch while groping her face this time.

“Am I human?”

“The appearance.”

"Oh my gosh."

How did you suddenly become a human?

“Why did you suddenly become a human?”

“That’s something I’m curious about too.”

"Oh."

A series of bewildered sighs flowed out. Jenny slowly got up and lowered her legs off the bed. The legs were no longer those of a gifted rabbit.

The clothes were light pajamas with gentle lace. Jenny wanted to take a closer look at herself and went to the mirror. However, there was no mirror in her room as she remembered.

“The mirror… … .”

“It’s broken.”

"Oh."

Only then did memories of the past flash through my mind like a kaleidoscope. I threw her whole body to break the witch's mirror, and then a piece of broken mirror glass flew into her chest and got stuck.

A looming pain.

Jenny trembled and put her hand over my heart. But I don't feel any pain.

“I was obviously hurt… … .”

“That’s right, a piece of mirror got stuck in his heart and he fell down.”

weird. I don't remember ever healing myself.

“Did you watch the situation when I collapsed?”

"okay."

“Can you describe what it was like then?”

At Jenny's question, Tenoch quietly nodded.

“As soon as a piece of the broken mirror got stuck in your chest, you fell down. Then he showed up.”

“Is that the end?”

"okay."

Is there anything different from what I know?

"by the way."

Tenoch changed the topic. Jenny raised her head and stared at her opponent.

"why?"

“I want you to unify it to one side.”

"What?"

“As soon as he opened his eyes, he said casually, 'You're an eccentric,' and when I asked if he was a human being, he treated me with respect. now half again. Which rhythm should I tune it to?”

eek. Jenny stuck out her tongue. It is clear that he spoke plaintively to the emperor.

But it was just that I really lost my mind because it was a crazy situation. Never had two lives or only one life overboard.

First of all, Tenoch doesn't seem to be in a bad mood (actually, he's just expressionless, as usual), and since he's given me the strange word 'rabbit myojo' from a while ago, he certainly didn't seem to be punishing me too much.

'As a reader of ancient figures in Romance, if you pretend, you pretend. Did you know that the silver rabbit I possessed was a beastman? I should have recognized him since he had special abilities.'

Of course, in the original novel <The Tyrant's Ugly Bride>, there was no story about the 'Rabbit Mojok'. At least until the part she read.

So, it was impossible to guess whether the relationship between the rabbits and humans would be friendly or vice versa.

Still, I know this. Apparently, I said something about the 'sacred race' earlier. First of all, it is important to look holy.

Jenny raised her chin loftily.

"okay? If you really want unification, I'll do it comfortably. Are you fine?"

food.

Tenoch laughed. It wasn't a sneer, more like a genuine, unbearable laugh.

As expected, for the male protagonist who has lived a dignified life that everyone admires, 'You were the first to treat me like this'.

“Fun.”

“I’m glad, ho-ho.”

Jenny covered her mouth with her hand and smiled proudly.

“Okay then. Shall we get to the point now?”

As if he hadn't laughed before, Tenoch was back to his original cold expression. A feeling of uneasiness ran down the back of his neck.

Jenny pretended to be calm and quietly backed away. But the man strode on his long legs and had already arrived in front of her.

“What is it?”

A sharp gaze descends from the top of the head. My jaw trembled even if I didn't want to because of the pressure that penetrated my whole body.

'Even if you enter the tiger's den, you say you will live as long as you wake up. Don't lose your mind, Yujin.'

Jenny gritted her molars and slowly raised her head.

“As you know, he is a member of the rabbit tribe.”

I didn't forget to add an elegant smile.

“Why are you staying at the imperial palace? What a plan.”

However, the words that came back were very shocking. Jenny's fine eyebrows narrowed in an instant.

"Hey. You were the one who showed up to kill me while I was playing leisurely in the woods, and you were the one who brought me to the palace without wanting to shoot an arrow.”

“It’s not like that. However, with the beastman ability, he could have escaped as much as he wanted. Why did she bother to hide her identity?”

"that… … .”

shit. what should i say Jenny felt her mouth burn.

Actually, I am Yujin, an ordinary job seeker in Korea. I fell backwards in the bathroom and when I woke up, I was in the body of a rabbit! It was something I couldn't even say.

How do female protagonists of ice water usually deal with situations like this... … . oh i don't know

“I am cursed.”

“… … A curse?”

At the same time as Jenny spoke, Tenoch's eyebrows twitched.
