Transmigration: The Narcissistic Cinderella

Patting his shoulder softly, Jiwoo spoke out, "You will be just fine, Oh Sookyung. Don't panic or get nervous! Just unleash your potential and blast him off."

Sookyung chuckled and voiced out, "Rather than me, it seems like you are the one who will be passing out any second now. One would think that you are the one going instead of me."

"If only you could understand how restless I am," Jiwoo stated, "I am still not alright with you going there."

It was time for Oh Sookyung to depart to the fighting arena, and while the three of them stood before the door, the hesitation was shown in Moon Jiwoo's eyes. Her c.h.e.s.t did not feel calm at the thought of letting him go.

"If I somehow die, do keep me in your memory as a good person," Sookyung spoke out in a light-hearted manner, winking at her.

"That's a terrible thing to say before going. If you die, I swear I will do the worst thing possible with your corpse," Jiwoo threatened.

"Alright. That's it for the chitchat. If Minhyun Hyung had agreed to it, then this will be absolutely fine," Yejoon voiced out, "Oh yeah! From today onwards, you will be Minhyun, Oh Sookyung. You know that, right?"

At that, Moon Jiwoo recalled on how 'Han Minhyun' lead his life as 'Sookyung' the entire time, and after today, Sookyung will be called as Minhyun.

"Can't I just keep my name as Sookyung? Changing my name when I am this grown up doesn't feel pleasant," Sookyung said, "And I am quite fond of my name."

Shrugging his shoulders, Yejoon spoke out, "After you become the king, changing your given name is so big deal I suppose."

At that instant, Moon Jiwoo's eyes sharpened, and a serious expression formed on her face before she said, "There are footsteps outside of the apartment. Twenty of them. They stopped in front of the door."

Yejoon nodded his head and stated, "I have more or less expected this. Kim Namhyuk is not the one to play fairly. It would be for the best if Sookyung does not use his powers.

Shin Daerin, do you think you will be able to take them on your own? I will teleport Oh Sookyung to that place and send someone to help you with the situation. I would not be able to teleport with you."

Moon Jiwoo nodded her head and answered, "Yes, it will be all fine. You just head over to arena with Oh Sookyung. This much can not bring me down."

"Be careful," Sookyung said, "I will be waiting for you, Shin Daerin, so you can not be late. I might lose if you don't show up."

Raising her head, Jiwoo ran them through her hair and stated, "What's with those words of your They gave me chills! Any way, I will be showing up. Taking care this much is a child's play for me."

With that, Hwang Yejoon snapped his finger, and at that, both of them disappeared into the thin air. After they had teleported out of there, Jiwoo turned her head to face the door.

"Let's do this then, Shin Daerin," Jiwoo mumbled to herself.

Walking over to the door, Moon Jiwoo pulled it open, and seeing the men standing before the door, Jiwoo realized that she had guessed right. There were indeed twenty of them present.

"Hello!" Jiwoo greeted, "What do you—"

Before Moon Jiwoo was able to continue further, two of the men took out their swords and made their move towards her. Jiwoo's eyes grew more vigilant at that, and she jumped a step back.

All of the men stepped into the room, and they cornered her from all the sides. Although taking care of twenty men was possible for Moon Jiwoo, it was a different story of all of them attacked her at the same time. In that case, it might get extremely difficult for her to handle it.

Moon Jiwoo's sword appeared into her hand, and her surrounding shone as jolt of electricity went in front of her. Her eyes fiercely stared the men beside her as they came one after other to attack her.

Starting to defend herself, Jiwoo noticed how they did not bother to go after Oh Sookyung. Maybe she was their target. However, it did not make sense to her on why they would be attacking her.

Without Sookyung, it did not make sense for them to attack her unless there was a motive behind it for that. To take such an action, the king surely had something planned although Jiwoo was unable to figure it out.

Even though Jiwoo managed to inflict the most damage, she had gotten some wounds over her body as well. The cuts closed up, and her hair was currently a mess as she flipped backwards.

The men did not appear to hold back when they made their moves towards her, and with the strategy, Jiwoo was afraid that sooner or later she would end up being defeated by them. it appeared that she had originally underestimated them.

That's when, an idea to teleport out of this place came to her mind. Sicje she had not been out much, there was only a short amount of places she could visualize.

One of them was the town's street before the bakery, and since the bakery was quite a distance away from their hotel, Jiwoo decided to teleport there, hoping that she would not be messing up anything for she did not clearly recall the places.

Taking her sword out, Jiwoo struck the ground with that and spoke out, "This was a pleasant fight, but I have to be somewhere now. Goodbye."

One of theen moved forward and was about to make an attack upon Moon Jiwoo, but before that was able to happen, Jiwoo disappeared into the thin air.

Running her hand through her hair, Jiwoo raised her head and stared at the small bakery before her. There were quite a number of people present around her.

"Ah! It seems that I have arrived at the right place," Jiwoo mumbled to herself.

That's when, it hit Moon Jiwoo on how she did not know where to go in order to see Oh Sookyung. Earlier, Yejoon mentioned on how he will be sending someone. However, with her running away from that place, that would not be possible for Moon Jiwoo.

"There had to be something that will be able to help," Jiwoo mumbled to herself.

Looking around the place, she tried to find something helpful. As she pursed her lips, she realized how the people around her were staring at her, and creases appeared between both of her eyebrows at that.

She wondered what the reason behind that could be. Was it because she looked weird after the fight?

Nonetheless, pushing that thought at the back of her mind, Jiwoo turned to face the woman who was about to walk past her and decided to ask the woman for help.

"Excuse me," Jiwoo started, "Would it be possible for you to help me right now?"

The woman looked at Jiwoo and pointed at herself, causing Jiwoo to nod her head.

"Yeah, you. You see, I am new at here, and I don't know anything around here. I believe you know about the duel between the current king and the prince. Would it be possible for you to let me know of the directions to that place?"

The woman nodded her head and spoke out, "Sure, call me Aera. I will be able to lead you to that place, but do you have the ticket? Without that, you would not be able to enter in, and it would not be possible for you to get one right now."

"Ticket, hmm," Jiwoo said, "You can say that I will be fine without that, Aera-ssi."

"If you say so, then alright. But don't create a fuss at there or else things might get quite serious for you," Aera stated.

"Is that so? Are you going to watch the duel as well, Aera-ssi?" Jiwoo questioned, raising one of her eyebrows.

"Yes, I am a journalist and looking forward to getting some good piece of news from this," Aera stated, "It is not that we get such news regularly, so this opportunity is quite precious to us."

"Oh! Who do you support then?" Jiwoo questioned.

"Everyone is placing their bets on the current king. The prince is quite young, and it is understandable for them to not choose his side. As for me, I am on the neutral side. The prince would not have chosen to attack him if he was not strong enough. At the end, it's just that I want the prince to win and for the current King's reign to end."
