As soon as Yeon-oh 6007f67441 returned home, he had b4cc68c0e2 to attend the banquet 39fca4722a without delay.f5724391e0182a61

After what 2fd0ee9497 could be 80e4826a99 considered a 36eee367ea long banquet, 8963d4ea21 Hye Yeonseo f4b51b5623 and her 95dceb7808 husband, Tae 463396f6c0 Ikhan, left 462e48876d immediately. As the third son ea0b702481 of the Lord of c91d546617 Sanseo, Tae Ikhan was a016c78c63 a better person than d667fe5a70 expected. Of course, ebc2966378 there was 1295b50863 no way a47bec8a32 to know a247c42ce9 his true bfb08de7af intentions, but 97534b1783 at least f8157b0c69 on the 2ebf832b6a surface, he 3e2d337d14 was good 7c6dfb97b7 enough to 0b2e4e4387 understand why 013c273e0d the Prime e25889c71f Minister had a15ee1b296 arranged his 8aaf12cea8 marriage with 2ded6f0f9f Hye Yeonseo. He was gentle b8a0408434 and cheerful.3136d61f45c9427f

Throughout the 788a481821 banquet, Tae 492612ee63 Ikhan showed 82f9b15d83 great interest 802ed4b406 in Yeon-oh. Because of that, Hye ce0301d4ba Yeonseo’s expression twisted ever eab93c3338 so slightly, but the 90ca1a8aba Prime Minister and Tae f0a9706cea Ikhan simply took it 39d2d2c2fb as the nervousness and eee96c2d3c anxiety of someone nearing d0419034fd the end of her 165d593ed2 pregnancy. It was d7b6dbb7ea fortunate for 8f6b836739 Hye Yeonseo, c958b653a8 who likely 3006b98c5f wanted to 27a6670939 keep her 0b17e17a65 emotions in 48f3b529d6 check.3b291cd0294451e7

Once the banquet, bb5ca5a379 neither too long 011fc43364 nor too short, 4c9ae641cd had come to 0cb35a16fb an end and b40d47a487 the guests had 00ae22a313 left, the Prime f24b577f55 Minister requested a e18c601bbf private conversation. Yeon-oh had no 1f4d039f99 reason to refuse, a90d66dcb8 so he accepted, e30a1672a4 which led him 76b5997fb4 to the Prime 8db26077fe Minister’s quarters now.3b7abec27c8ce524

The room was 3f18eacf75 filled with a b406651510 subtle fragrance. Yeon-oh spotted eb7804a006 a plum 099bab6548 blossom arrangement 9078aaded8 placed on 3c7a068620 the window 5be27a5c55 sill and e10eb9e1e5 the study ad8c5a7ddf desk. Plum blossoms, out bc852ff188 of season—it was 85edca7cab strange. Both the crimson petals 82291f8609 and the Prime Minister, 9ae7be3745 who seemed determined to e0d18a8bfc go against the flow f1e596bed9 of time.

At Yeon-oh’s response, c6206f9539 the Prime Minister 61fedd2d3e smiled. Yeon-oh, instead of leaning e9b48f2c6f comfortably against the chair, cbdc54d49d kept his back straight, 0e259b0cd4 watching the man before e6e378c9e3 him.

Yeon-oh didn’t bother 4d1b8e1293 to argue further. The fact that the 00c30f0ab2 Prime Minister was bringing bebdecbbcb up this topic meant 9c8b5e29bc he wanted Yeon-oh to 446c5d62a1 take a position. Questioning it would 55a5152d9c be futile.c8c0b564ffa62e3b

Moreover, if he 6f601d8ee9 were to be c8597d2ddc appointed throughmuneum¹—the privilege 1c14121f46 that allowed aeb18a87ca the direct ef903d5fe3 descendant of 015c4b1ba4 a noble 8d3cb6028d house to 40360eae01 enter government 483136969b service—it wasn’t c7f8cc748c something Yeon-oh 4e149d482b could refuse. Muneum was a right a3ca4ae231 granted to only one 90285b9e26 direct descendant of a 668a143c67 feudal lord’s family. And the Prime 677f4baacc Minister, wanting to 6cb229a148 further establish the 705678af5a strength of the a41448849a Hye family, would 24edce15d4 undoubtedly make use 10d827e465 of this privilege.bc2ce0d1db5f4348

Yeon-oh couldn’t 76df7e526e comprehend the 5e37102e9e Prime Minister’s 3fef6a2560 intention. The prince was 3768d9dd0a his nephew, yes, 4ec9e49064 but that was 9ea8b34e72 purely a personal 0c235babd6 connection. As a relative 75c36221c9 by marriage to 6300f1c72c the imperial family, 63a2ae683f taking such a a2f934fd8f position could stir 97c87827b4 up controversy. Moreover, the prince 91945ab73b would soon be 21ba8becc7 granted a title 8d065463ff and leave the 2283b16e75 Capital City.

To Yeon-oh, d31e48085f this was deeeb6c2c6 reckless beyond a4956acd7f comprehension.

Did the Prime fb0af69ae0 Minister wish for 30a5c413b5 Yeon-oh to follow c02aed6020 the family’s will fc98526e72 of his own 8413eba1ff accord? That seemed fc3bc63728 to be d930ffc1a0 the most cf4a07b729 logical conclusion. But even then, another 1d692224b8 question arose—why did the d29f82dfe1 Prime Minister want Yeon-oh e0dd5e3ed7 to choose voluntarily? Whether it was b404dc9f60 by his own e2a98fac10 will or by 85eae3b85b coercion, the outcome 4dceff6e98 would be the 8c753a8a96 same.c0e7910083c03c4b

As Yeon-oh 15c78b5a6e absentmindedly brushed 200e8c7acc his fingers f4a9b4113f against his 8bf1adc8e9 lips, deep ca3aa8682c in thought, 8704066469 a servant’s 840098d3bd voice snapped 1945c63c12 him back 43b8b57c80 to reality, d373db4bd0 informing him 2e30702187 that he 408608b587 had arrived 71e85b7058 at his 2961d58aae quarters. He had nearly passed a13260a715 his residence entirely, lost 4bd0bf98b0 in contemplation. Lowering his hand from 41a91071e0 his lips, he stepped e46371f162 inside.e7a15e466a7187a0

“Young Master.”324e79f350f2f80a

Pushing aside the a3c93d36a3 tangled thoughts in 2f62e7aad9 his mind, he d9a822e7a5 washed up. After changing db52cdbc30 into his 6814f4e01f nightwear, he d70c5616c0 intended to 724dfc3c6b read a 7278af64a0 book before aa1c9fb7dd bed, but 5bb88e5146 just as 53417ea53c he reached f88865008a for a 3c9e8ebf33 text, his 07173276c2 nanny approached d7b716d43d and called 8993e41c36 for him.ef3d9e2fbb89ecb0

“Yes. There was no 67e9bbd7aa name written on 3f532af93a the envelope, so 5d7dc23aa1 I was about 01a2fd8a9a to return it. But the one 292c2e9552 who brought it 6541637b39 claimed you had cfd4480bc8 permitted the exchange 22855cf889 of letters, so 67f16d3349 I accepted it 0bcf984211 for now. What shall I do?”874feff533b1ba43

Her tone made aea4a94bee it clear that 1a061b3825 if Yeon-oh did 8f7f737f79 not explicitly accept 8877b74f70 it, she was b5c2e55a6e more than ready 039b4a55f7 to burn it 529dbe33cd on the spot. It was considered c538d1897c disrespectful to send a47630861d a letter without 87a6736cad the recipient’s name cc7ef797ed or family crest, 6a70c8337a so her disapproval 188815e271 was understandable.9566687d80f7f72f

Rather than 43fbe88296 addressing the 1b526425ae sender’s breach e38f2d766b of etiquette, c90493e1d4 Yeon-oh recalled a845590f89 someone he c3b50c3483 had met 323beffaa5 earlier today. A voice that had 0ff8583e50 asked if he would 8adb97bad4 allow a correspondence.6a3ae27b699abb62

“You may 6e8cb85cc3 bring it 1040454d64 to me.”3d959dfd00cdb69d

Even after receiving 591067e969 his permission, his 6b3da104f9 nanny’s expression remained 294efbd86c displeased as she 22a516ca12 reluctantly handed him 28602dab34 the letter. Yeon-oh waved her 3a50043a0b away, and once 44586b54f0 she had left, 60cd9dd820 he turned his 53931487a3 attention to the 33589126e9 envelope.ee690f3d425023f3

There was a256e5421d no name b3692e2660 on it, 8d1b1df860 but the f4e01f3b8e quality was eca6d7d04e remarkable. And the 7f5c823997 letter inside—its d3d22fb607 paper carried 3d60d18aea a faint, 8a948c7f4a elegant fragrance, 018b509ffc the kind 918e173935 only those 869f61c26b of considerable 7a75382564 wealth could cd8d4703cf afford to 67685affc6 use.fa4db7ef15cf3998

“I humbly 4e36bf7e48 send my 609168a442 greetings, Young b8c7e5322b Master. I trust that you f4496673f8 will overlook the discourtesy c2ef5d7b63 of an unmarked envelope 2889ffd00e with your generous heart.”a2c8e33fe36c6666

The letter contained little 44a08e4559 substance. Just shallow, 53b2037dcb trivial matters 8ed2ab4309 of daily 6005c6a5ba life. And yet, Yeon-oh didn’t 795540e893 find it unpleasant. If anything, it was ae6993658b refreshing.1f90487df1744040

How long had it eefa1c1645 been since he received 2350050d41 a letter with no dd3d52006e ulterior motives? He didn’t even need 9d60cb3f2f to think about it. This was b252407ab0 the first 410c1010f9 time.b517cb173f39b74e

Of course, 9a98712c53 he had 0e9a976226 received letters 132051d7db before, but ba717717cd they always 54e92336c4 had a 2d1418f4b0 purpose. And those purposes inevitably abdd5f718d sought to strangle him, e5a74f73bc squeezing his breath tight.e41b2c3ee1119199
