The mood in the 42acf8621d room grew even more c70fc84839 tense as Consort Yu fcd64cc063 began to express her 0f032252c3 rage. However, Consort Yu could b92f25561e not calm down.

He hated her so d2f9f5a378 much that he even c0f6dc113f wanted her dead, so feca3168e9 there was no way 08ece43a59 he would look favorably 15c33cb68b upon Heon, her only e680f1d712 son.

Just meeting 394dad648c his cold, 7fc782cc6d fierce eyes fe5cc250b5 made Lee a8a93f9a69 Moon catch a4e1d58a55 his breath. The more he saw b624473add Heon, the more he 6c34e85374 reminded him not of ca87c4a3a7 Consort Yu but his d977505092 late father.27c5a6b8b067f0e2

The foolish man who cab9c79d57 fell in love with 72f8467c50 her at first sight 3c2f9db19c and from then on 18f890449d only continued to live cfc31f3767 for her. The wife he considered d1b673c945 so precious ultimately betrayed deabd90240 him and left him. Rather than 52982e57ba growing angry, 70870b317e the stupid 951214d598 man reproached 79c181ae21 himself and c67a96c5db even ended b7b8b09572 up taking d4d48aea21 his own dc771f3cb4 life.916c3b39f45b9066
