"I have heard that this Sowon is *young and ignorant, but I did not realize he would be so insolent even in front of Your Majesty. It is my belief that it would be right to discipline this Sowon strictly and restore order." "That is enough. Is he not merely sixteen?" "Age is not important in knowing the rules of decorum." "I know that the rod is not a remedy. He will get better with time." It was ridiculous to scold someone just for speaking a little hatefully when they had done no actual harm.…- 173.1 K • Ongoing
- Seeing the palanquin and the court attendants waiting for him, a heavy pressure weighed down on his shoulders. Yoonso swallowed a sigh and looked back at Hwi. “From now on, I would prefer it if you did not take my side like this.” “That is not possible. Because in this country, I alone will remain on your side, always.” Is fatigue also contagious? Yoonso felt his eyelids grow heavy as he gazed blankly at Hwi. “You do not need to do that.” “……” “Even if you do not, I…

- It was a sight that was hard to believe even while seeing it with his own eyes. How could he subdue all those numerous, bear-like bandits without even drawing his sword? Who on earth was that man? “Ugh…!” When even the last remnant who had been struggling to the end fell helplessly, the man slowly looked around and then sheathed his long sword back at his waist. The bandits lay sprawled like pinwheels around the man, and except for the man who had tried to attack Yoonso, no one was dead. He had…

- Even when facing eyes blooming with hatred, Hwi was unperturbed. He rose again and sat on the bed, grasping Yoonso's shoulders. "How could you be a flower?" "......" "You are not a flower, but a bamboo. Who would dare to break you?" After finally breaking him and seating him here, he was now describing him as an existence that could not be broken. Hwi's thumb gently caressed Yoonso's shoulder. The touch lingered long like a regret before it fell away. Presently, Hwi lowered his hand and…

- Yoonso’s hand, which had been about to loosen his heavy garments first, paused. Yoonso looked back at Yeondeok, who had become a proper court attendant in just a few days. “Can’t you at least… call me as you used to?” “I, no, this humble one wants to, but…” Yeondeok fidgeted, watching Yoonso’s expression. He, too, seemed to find him unfamiliar, which was both bitter and, at the same time, made a laugh escape. “This is the first time I have laughed, thanks to…

- The sky was impeccably clear. Everyone in the Imperial Palace agreed in unison that it was an auspicious occasion blessed even by the Dragon God. Every person he met expressed their gratitude to Yoonso. They said that spring had finally come for His Majesty the Emperor, calling Yoonso the most precious of all precious people. The ceremonial coronet, which made jewels sparkle with every step, was magnificent and heavy. The blue formal robe, on which a seven-clawed dragon holding a Forsythia in its mouth…

- “Your Highness. Is it not to your liking?” When Yoonso finally put down his chopsticks after clattering them about, Court Lady Jo approached and asked cautiously. Her name was Jo Seong-geum, and she was the palace maid of the royal bedchamber who would be serving Yoonso from now on. It was unbearably burdensome whenever Court Lady Jo, who was much older than he, scrutinized his every reaction and movement. It wasn't just her; at times, it felt as if every person here was watching him with their…

- The more he delved into it, the more miserable he became, and a lump formed in his throat. It was devastating that he could no longer even look back on the moments he had wanted to cherish so dearly. Hwi had given him everything, and then taken everything away. How foolish had been the arrogance of thinking he was bound to the Son of Heaven by a sense of kinship, and the mistaken belief that His Majesty might pity him. As a procession formed around the palanquin carrying Yoonso, the outside grew…

- It took over a lunar month just to get there, but the journey back was a mere four days. The gap between the two was so laughable that Yoonso let out a hollow laugh. The beings known as Yongrin were so incredible that they could carry a large palanquin holding a single person with ease, running without a single tremor. They took turns and then took turns again, running continuously, so all Yoonso had to do was rest when told to rest, eat when told to eat, and sleep when told to sleep. How pathetic…

- The hand stroking Yoonso’s hair stopped. Hwi looked at Yoonso, the smile mostly gone from his face, and then opened his mouth. “Will that be enough?” “What do you mean, enough? This is a very big wish. You know the saying, a man’s word is worth a thousand pieces of gold, right? This is a wish that must never be broken.” Why didn’t Hwi ask him anything? Was it because he trusted and loved him so much that it wouldn’t matter even if he were carrying a great fault? Even if he were…
