They hugged each other.

Although she was glad because Yongi was safe, it was heartbreaking to look at her hurt face. Besides, who had chased her sister? She couldn’t understand why these people chased a courtesan.

“Don’t worry, Eunha. The Mistress will resolve the situation. I won’t have to marry the old castrated man who damaged my face.”

Yongi laughed. Eunha, who suppressed her anger, wiped away her tears.

“I won’t allow that to happen either. In that case, I’ll get you out of the courtesan house.”

“I guess you lost weight because you were worried about me.”

“That’s not the reason.”

“Why?”

Yongi’s hand touched Eunha’s red eyes. She affectionately caressed her moist cheek. Eunha felt relieved.

“Nothing happened. You’re so kind to me it’s scary, sister.”

Yongi smiled when she saw Eunha turn red.

An anxious feeling ran through her body, it felt like she had been doused with cold water. Eunha had a more mature expression on her face.

“Are you happy with him…?”

“Yes. Even though he’s blind, he recognizes my presence as a ghost.”

Eunha lowered her head as she remembered what had happened with Jihak. She knew it too. What had happened was only an act of affection.

“Eunha, it’s because the Lord loves you. But that is all. It’s no different looking at an ornamental flower in a vase. We are not noble ladies. So don’t give your heart away. I’m worried that you’ll be looked down upon because I’m your elder sister.”

“No way.”

Eunha denied her words.

When Yongi grasped her pale hand, her night-colored eyes wildly trembled.

“Shall we run away together? In the south, there’s a town with jobs. In case you’re in a difficult situation, we can run away sister.”

Tears fell from Yongi’s eyes.

“Another person appeared.”

The henchmen, who had returned, bowed to Yoon Jongshin. Yoon, who was looking towards the window, stroked his beard.

“Maybe it’s her younger sister, Eunha?”

“Yes. Today we saw that they were hiding together.”

He had wanted to meet the girl who had become Jihak’s reader. But he felt anxious because he could not find a suitable method.

Lee Cham, who had planned to ally with Jihak, was killed. Eunha had hardly left the Prince’s house. But now there was a chance.

Jongshin felt the extreme anger he had felt all morning disappear like melting snow. Even though Shihoon was born from a courtesan, he had his own lineage. only posted on novelutopia. That was why he did not want to see him with a courtesan.

He ordered his henchmen.

“Keep a close watch on Shihoon’s house. Bring those girls. The sooner the better.”

His fingers were frozen.

“Lord, is it cold?”

Jihak asked with an expressionless face at Yuljae’s worried words.

“Still?”

“Yes.”

Jihak looked outside at the gently falling snow.

The sun was quickly setting, but the woman had not yet returned. He felt irritated.

She was just a girl who did pretty things with her body. When he teased her, she would just cry. And she would lie on her stomach like an idiot to read the books.

“Norigae…”

Her eyes turned cold.

No, Eunha is not a toy…she’s my girl.

Only he could touch her body, only he could push the sweet between her small lips, only he could whisper insidious words to her.

He was the only one who could control her life.

Jihak, nervously tapping the window frame with his fingers, saw the gate slowly open. Eunha had entered trembling. His fingers stopped.

She raised her head, probably because she felt his gaze. She believed he could not see, so she looked at him silently for a long time.

The night sky was pitch black. The cold moonlight shone faintly through the falling snow.

Jihak couldn’t bear to see the white snow piling up on Eunha’s head, so he called Yuljae.

“Bring that idiot in right now.”
