"It’s a shame to lose such an outstanding member of staff, but we cannot ignore the contents of the letter. You should return at once. Family matters must come first, after all." The principal, who knew better than anyone how diligently Olivia had worked, tried to console her as she stood frozen, clutching the letter. Though the message itself was as discourteous as the attitude of the person who delivered it, any displeasure paled in comparison…-

“What kind of person is the adopted daughter? Not many have seen her in person. But those who have say she’s better than the real daughter—pretty and virtuous, they say.” Casling kindly answered Eric’s question. “No matter who they bring in, it’d be hard for her to fall short of the first daughter, wouldn’t it?” “Don’t go around saying such things carelessly. You wouldn’t know how much of a fuss Madame Natalie made when…

Bam, bam, bam— The sound of hammering as the wooden sign was being put up echoed loudly. Madame Natalie took a step back and tilted her head. "It looks a little crooked to me." "No matter how perfectly I align it, it'll always look crooked to your eyes, ma'am," the worker replied, lowering the hammer. Though not entirely satisfied, she found it difficult to nitpick further and handed him his payment from her purse. The worker bowed and…

Hwan, whom she thought had disappeared, was sitting on the tree behind Myung, watching Yiwon. Startled by his presence for only a moment, Yiwon stuck out her tongue at Hwan and made a ridiculous face. “Ahahaha!” “Y-Yiwon?” “M-My apologies, Your Highness. A bird passed by earlier, and its appearance was so strange that I… I couldn’t help but laugh.” At Yiwon’s words, Myung turned around, but there…-

It wouldn’t take long, and as long as no one else found out, that was all that mattered. By the time Myung married, and she entered the imperial palace, Hwan would be leaving it. “Please take care of me!” “Sure. You too.” It was merely repayment for the life he owed.

"I should have called a physician, but I didn’t get the chance. I hastily treated the wound with the medical skills I picked up along the sideline." "And?" "Huh? Well, it must have displeased you that a woman dared to use such improper treatment (medical skills). Please rest today and show your wound to a physician at dawn."

🌙 Overwhelmed by the surging pain, Hwan opened the medicine bottle the woman had given him, but strangely, he kept feeling reluctant to use it. Tucking the woman’s medicine back into his robe, he instead poured the medicine Geonmyeong had given him into his mouth. Unlike the soft melody echoing in his mind, all he saw before his eyes were the gruesomely dead court ladies and the bloodstained storeroom. A reality he couldn’t turn away from,…

The man’s blood-soaked eyes stared at Yi-won for a long time. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but no words came out. Just as Yiwon stepped closer, the man lost consciousness and collapsed into her arms. 🌙 “P-please, spare me!” The woman, who had once proudly adorned her hair with a precious jade hairpin, now had her locks disheveled. Her skin, which she had boasted was as smooth as polished pearls, was…
