SNF | Chapter 6.4
But it was a question he couldn't ask. Once the conversation about the princess was concluded, there was only silence. The Crown Prince broke the silence. "I've heard of it." Yeon-oh, who had a childhood where he couldn't freely cross the threshold of his mansion, had never seen a play. Of course, if he had been interested, he could have invited them to the mansion, but he hadn't been interested enough to do so. "Then this will be your first time. The royal actors are quite famous. I assure you,…-

"Then what should we do? Shall we go see the lanterns together?" The princess hesitated at the gentle voice but eventually nodded. Yeon-oh wiped the princess's face carefully with a handkerchief and smiled faintly. "Then it's best to stop crying first. If you keep crying like this, people will think I made you cry." "But you didn't make me cry, Uncle." "Even so, people will see it that way, so stop crying quickly. You don't want to make me an unkind uncle, do you?" When he playfully teased…-

The footsteps that had followed stopped at the window where Yeon-oh stood. Unlike Yeon-oh, who stood neatly by the window, the Crown Prince sat on the windowsill. It was a posture unbecoming of a Crown Prince, and Yeon-oh frowned but did nothing more. "Did you want to see the face of the one you deceived?" "......" "Are you planning to avoid answering again, as you always have?" The Crown Prince crossed his arms and tilted his head at the barrage of questions. His hair flowed down with his…-

SNF | Chapter 6.1
The servants were surprised by Yeon-oh's earlier-than-expected return home. Yeon-oh passed them by and went back to his room to change out of his formal attire. His wet nurse seemed eager to ask questions, her lips twitching, but she kept silent. For Yeon-oh, who had no emotions left to expend, it was a relief. As he sat in a tub filled with warm water to calm his mind, the outside became noisy. Instead of asking about the commotion, Yeon-oh stood up. The servant attending him wiped the water droplets…-

SNF | Chapter 5.6
The Prime Minister opened his mouth slightly as if to say something, but upon realizing that this was not the right place for such words, he swallowed them back. Yeon-oh, watching him, quietly returned to his seat. He had initially intended to step out, but with so many eyes on him, it no longer seemed appropriate. Wiping the indifference from his expression, he instead let a faint smile linger as he turned his attention to the performance. The fluttering sleeves of the dancers shimmered in his vision…-

The banquet hall quickly filled with laughter, conversation, and merriment. Surrounded by an endless stream of guests, Yeon-oh found himself the center of attention. As the heir of Hanam, he was destined to lead a noble household. Yet, he could not remain in isolation, no matter how prestigious his lineage was. He needed people. And to gather them, he had to engage—playing along when necessary. The Prime Minister, watching quietly, was momentarily surprised to see how smoothly Yeon-oh navigated the…-

The Emperor entered, adorned in golden imperial robes, a commanding presence that needed no embellishment. A half step behind him, the Empress followed with an elegant gait, a soft yet knowing smile playing on her lips. Yeon-oh, along with the rest of the hall, rose to receive them. Following closely behind, the Prince and Princess entered, their hands tightly clasped together. Unlike Yeon-oh, they seemed utterly unbothered by the weight of countless gazes—clearly accustomed to such scrutiny. Once…-

She urged him to move. Exchanging glances with Jo Myeonghwan, Yeon-oh hesitated for only a moment before standing and heading outside. As soon as he stepped out, the noise became even clearer. The voices of the people carried distinct emotions—surprise, awe, and excitement. Though he had come out somewhat reluctantly, Yeon-oh found his steps quickening as he made his way toward the terrace. The gathered servants had their gazes fixed skyward. Following the trajectory of their eyes, Yeon-oh looked…-

It was only then that Yeon-oh realized he had been pressing against his eyes with his hand. It was such an unconscious habit that he hadn’t even noticed. Lowering his hand, he slowly blinked his dry, tired eyes. “I must not be sleeping well since I’ve been dreaming lately.” “You had nightmares on your way up to the capital as well. That never happened in Hanam. Have you been having them again?” Yeon-oh hesitated to answer. It wasn’t something he wanted to put into words. Ever since…-

“I may have kept the prince too coddled under my skirt. Still, Yeon-oh, I believe a degree of selfishness is necessary for the prince. You know why, don't you.” The Empress spoke these words to Yeon-oh after sending off the prince and the princess. Even though Yeon-oh hadn’t uttered a single word about the prince, she addressed his thoughts as if she could see right through him, her voice gentle yet firm. She seemed to think—He’s a child who will one day sit on the throne, so what does it…-
