You're the one who chose this. You're the one who held onto me again, so, so it's too late now. Yoongeon embraced Seohwi, feeling as if his mind had been turned completely to mush. When he hugged him with all his strength, Seohwi couldn't move a muscle, as if he were tightly bound. He looked like he was trapped by sturdy tree roots, but Yoongeon had no intention of letting him go. He caught his breath for a long while, still holding Seohwi, before opening his eyes. He felt so terrible that in that…- 190.1 K • Ongoing
Not long after, the physician quietly stepped into the bedchamber. Her hair was disheveled, as if Huije had run here while carrying her. “Can you take the Emperor’s pulse?” “What symptoms did he have, Your Majesty?” “It’s not that... I want to check if he is sleeping.” The physician was silent for a moment, then approached and took Hwi’s pulse. She took his pulse for quite a long time, then carefully examined his face before stepping back. “It seems His Majesty is in the…- 173.1 K • Ongoing
- “I just thought... everyone must have suffered a lot. I have probably never felt so helpless in my life.” “Are you all right?” “Yes. I am not hurt anywhere, and above all, it is a relief that His Majesty has recovered.” And the result of this would probably become the ‘innocence’ Hwi had mentioned. That must be why he took me to the hellscape. If the curse incident had not happened, until when would Hwi have postponed taking me with him? “Oh, what happened with Wan?” The…

- Sobaeguk would have given up his liver and gallbladder if it meant knowing what the emperor thought about Yoonso. Even when he had caught the runaway Yoonso, he had not given any hint. And now that he had placed Yoonso on the empress's throne, he had not shown any intention regarding his second son to him, and had taken Hyunbi with him on the military campaign. Was it a miscalculation to have raised Yoonso at his private residence, not sending him to the palace because he did not want to make him a…

- Even though it was just one encounter, I was as drained as I had been on our first night. Yoonso watched Hwi, breathing softly like a creature that had just learned how to breathe. He had fallen asleep at some point after cleaning Yoonso up. It was the first time Yoonso had seen Hwi sleeping, so he observed him in silence. At first glance, it seemed as if he were just closing his eyes. However, the steady rise and fall of Hwi’s chest and his face, which felt peaceful rather than expressionless,…

- It was a moment when I was already anxious, and now getting irritated, letting out an annoyed groan. Hwi’s hand gently gripped Yoonso’s buttocks. “Do you think you can shove a boulder into a mouse hole just like that?” My frown deepened at the strange analogy. Hwi chuckled briefly and inserted a finger into the narrow opening. As the fluid that had just begun to seep out wet his fingertip, Hwi let out a low groan. Yoonso placed both hands on the center of Hwi’s chest and leaned his upper…

- Hyunbi, squinting in the brilliant sunlight, tightened her lips. She seemed to be looking back on her first time, her gaze sweeping slowly through the empty air before she lowered her head slightly. “As you know, this humble one is from Nam-o. My father was a man of Nam-o, and my mother was a person of Daeyeong.” Nam-o was a small country located to the southwest of the Yeong nation. Large eyes with distinct wrinkles around them, strong, rugged features, and a firm jaw were characteristics of the…

- About a quarter of an hour later, he felt the palanquin's movement slow considerably, so he cautiously opened the window. Beyond the wide moat, a very high, ash-gray city wall came into view. The heavy gates, built along with the layers of surrounding walls, opened one by one. Geumju Castle, unlike other castles, was quiet and peaceful, which paradoxically created a sense of unease. People were living their daily lives, but even at a glance, the population was very small and the houses were clustered in…

- “Forgive me, but I have not heard anything about that.” “...I see. I asked a pointless question, so please do not mind it.” Yoonso forced a smile and turned his steps toward a small pavilion. As he entered the shaded area, the air became much cooler. In the pond below the pavilion, where sweet flags grew long, carp swam, vigorously waving their tail fins. “Do not be shaken by the gossip of the people. To them, it is merely entertainment.” “I should, but...” “Even if it were…

- He wanted to hear the answer directly from Hwi’s lips, but that was not all. When he realized he was feeling like he wanted to act childish, his face grew hot. Yoonso, though he knew it was not proper, stirred his porridge with his spoon. Hwi, with a faint smile, set down his chopsticks. “No. Do I believe you, do I not believe you. You should not ask that way.” “...” “Will I tolerate whatever you do. That is how you should ask.” Did he mean he would forgive him even if he…
