Weekly Chapter 3/6

It was her first time in a place like this. It was a place where women from noble families could gather for tea with their faces uncovered.

An elegantly decorated garden that looked like royalty. The courtyard was paved with smooth stones, so people could enter the tea room without stepping on the ground.

But the only ones who could step into the tea room were Sohyeon, Heein and Eunha. Gari, who was denied entry, turned around with a pouty expression.

She felt sorry, so she gave her money to buy some sweets. Eunha was only here because Heein had made the request.

Sohyeon looked uncomfortable.

“Why are you so stiff? This tea is famous because it is quite delicious. Even if you don’t know its taste, you’ll like it once you taste it.”

Eunha, who became even more nervous at Heein’s friendly tone, drank some tea. She ate a dasik, then drank tea again.

Its bitter but sweet taste melted on her tongue.

Eunha looked at the tea with a curious expression.

Heein smiled as she looked at Eunha, who kept her head down. She looked back at Sohyeon, who decided to watch silently.

She met Sohyeon at a meeting on poems, paintings and embroidery. The scholars were supportive, even buying some items.

Heein believed that Sohyeon, the eldest daughter of the Justice Minister, marrying an illegitimate son was not befitting her status, despite the prospective union with the Defense Minister’s family. For that reason, she wanted to change it.

A bastard could not even hold a government position.

Heein often imagined Jihak with Sohyeon.

Eunha…

Heein held her breath as she looked at Eunha. She was worried. But she didn’t think her brother really had her at heart.

Maybe it was all due to her loneliness.

When her brother returned with a deer. His eyes looked at the deer the same way he looked at the girl. He had that look for 10 years.

“Sohyeon, I have to meet the Justice Minister soon. I heard there was a courtesan at Yoon’s house…”

“That’s a misunderstanding. That girl…”

Sohyeon, who stopped her words, looked at Eunha for signs. It seemed that she didn’t want to say something that might hurt the girl’s feelings.

“The flower of the courtesan house? There are many rumors about her.”

“She will only stay for a short time due to circumstances.”

“Our innocent Sohyeon. Although your fiancé is the Defense Minister’s son, he is an illegitimate son. I appreciate you. That’s why I want to find you a better husband.”

“I…”

“I would never place you in such a situation.”

When she saw Sohyeon’s face turn black, Heein sighed in sadness.

Eunha simply looked down because they talked about her sister.

This again made Heein nervous. It was clear that her brother didn’t know. Had he recalled who this girl was, he would not have remained at her side.

How could he relate to the daughter of the man he had pushed to his death?

But Heein didn’t want Jihak to know. She had to nip the problem in the bud before he found out. She could ruin her brother, who was destined to become the leader of the Kingdom.
