Weekly Chapter 3/6

The water spoiled the candy.

The candy seller, who was angry, grabbed Sir Song’s collar.

“Why did you suddenly pour water on me?”

“It was a punishment! Did you see it? Did you see Eunha do that?”

The man with a flushed face pointed to the people who appeared in the distance.

“Look at me! Do you know where these gentlemen are headed?”

Sir Song shook the seller’s hand, then turned his gaze back to the group.

Five men dressed in fancy clothes. There was also a woman. Although she covered her face with a Jangot, Sir Song immediately recognized Yongi. Yoon was leading the group, positioned at the forefront.

Sir Song’s eyes trembled as he took a deep breath. A light appeared in Yongi’s gaze when she spotted him. But then she stood behind Shihoon.

“Is what I said correct or incorrect? Look!”

Sir Song followed the laughing men. When Sir Song realized where they were going, he felt his body lose its strength.

“How can Yongi go to that place?”

Choi Youngheung looked at Shihoon, who accompanied Yongi.

“I shall comply with your request, yet today calls for no c#urt#san’s (o,e) company.”

Shihoon frowned as he walked away.

“Don’t worry. She can wait nearby.”

“Then why did you bring her?”

Yongi raised her head with an angry expression on her face. Choi Youngheung was not interested in people with low status.

He then annoyed Shihoon again, who didn’t respond.

“I don’t care what you do, but don’t ruin the reputation. The Defense Minister has included you in the family registry, but you cannot dishonor the family. I expect you to show me your skills today. Did you teach that girl to read?”

“Youngheung.”

“Huh?”

“Shut your mouth. I have a request.”

Shihoon stopped Youngheung, who clicked his tongue.

“Buy me time. I just need enough time to meet Eunha.”

Youngheung sensed that something bad would happen because he had a serious attitude. He wanted to turn away now, but he didn’t think Shihoon would listen.

He spoke with concern in his voice,

“I don’t understand why the deposed Prince is hiding that girl. I think she’s just a toy. The Prince is a man like us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have desired the girl’s lips so openly before all. Right?”

Yongi’s legs lost strength. Shihoon, who quickly helped her, gritted his teeth while looking at Choi Youngheung. Only then Choi Youngheung shrugged his shoulders. Then he chuckled.

“It would be advisable for you to return.”

Yongi, who straightened her back, shook her head at Shihoon’s words.

“I want to look at her face, I’ll go in as Sohyeon’s maid.”

Shihoon felt confused because Yongi didn’t make eye contact. Since he met Eunha, he had never had another woman in his heart. Although this woman who looked like Eunha was attractive to him, he did not feel love.

Just sympathy.

Yongi started walking again.

When they approached the house that looked like a whale decorated with colorful lanterns, Shihoon had a feeling that this place was someone’s grave.

His heart skipped a beat.
