SNF | Chapter 5.2
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…-

SNF | Chapter 5.1
“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…-

SNF | Chapter 4.5
Yeon-oh turned to see Yeshin approaching with a faint smile. His expression stiffened slightly. Having declared just yesterday that they should sever ties, this unexpected encounter only made him uncomfortable. “With a prince as lively as that, I can see why.” Yeshin spoke as if he completely understood Yeon-oh’s weariness. Yeon-oh forced himself to smooth his expression, barely managing to suppress his discomfort. “…I’m not sure whether you’re neglecting your duties or if you simply…-

SNF | Chapter 4.4
The prince was sulking, and Yeon-oh was not the type to initiate conversation. Moreover, he wasn’t warm enough to go out of his way to be affectionate toward his nephew, especially after such an unpleasant first encounter. “Uncle, do you like my sister more?” In the end, it was the prince who broke the long silence. His cheeks were still puffed out in a pout as he directed his question at Yeon-oh. Do you like the princess more? This was not a simple matter of preference. The princess had been…-

SNF | Chapter 4.3
In the end, Yeon-oh took the initiative. Though they were his nephew and niece by blood, they were still members of the Imperial Family. He had to observe proper etiquette. Yeon-oh’s formal greeting made the Princess bow awkwardly in return, while the Prince simply stared up at him with wide eyes. “Prince, Princess, your uncle just greeted you.” The strange standoff continued until the Empress stepped in. Only then did the princess, as if making a big decision, swallow hard and take a bold…-

“By the way, where exactly are we going?” Yeon-oh subtly pulled his hand away, feeling awkward. He should have asked this earlier, but for some reason, it was only now that the question came to mind. “Now you’re curious?” Yeshin turned back with an amused expression. “Didn’t I say I’d take you on a tour of the Capital City?” “……” “And after seeing you today, I thought that walking around Capital City might not be such a bad idea.” “How do I look that made you…-

SNF | Chapter 4.2
Yeshin, as he had confidently claimed, was indeed a good guide. He explained every nook and cranny of the main street in an interesting way, making it seem like he knew every path by heart. There wasn’t a single moment of awkward silence between them—he kept talking without pause, so much so that Yeon-oh found himself worrying whether he would end up parched from speaking too much. As they strolled through the streets like explorers, a bell rang out, loud and far-reaching. It was the second time…-

SNF | Chapter 3.1
As soon as Yeon-oh returned home, he had to attend the banquet without delay. After what could be considered a long banquet, Hye Yeonseo and her husband, Tae Ikhan, left immediately. As the third son of the Lord of Sanseo, Tae Ikhan was a better person than expected. Of course, there was no way to know his true intentions, but at least on the surface, he was good enough to understand why the Prime Minister had arranged his marriage with Hye Yeonseo. He was gentle and cheerful. Throughout the banquet,…-

Now that he understood most of the situation, this was the part Yeon-oh couldn’t comprehend. The Hye family had already gained enough glory by supporting the emperor’s rise to the throne. Even now, they enjoyed more prestige than any other noble house. No other jehu family could match their influence. So why insist on entangling themselves in the imperial succession? “You’re right. Centuries of prosperity do not simply fade away.” “And yet, under His Majesty’s protection, you would…-

SNF | Chapter 3.3
Having fully removed his court attire, the Prime Minister donned a more comfortable golden robe appropriate for his residence. Only then did he take a seat across from Yeon-oh, at which point a servant silently stepped forward and placed a tea set on the table. “Now that I think about it, Yeonseo once mentioned that your tea-brewing skills are quite remarkable. What do you say, Yeon-oh? Would you show this father of yours your skills?” “I am lacking, but I will do my best.” Yeon-oh pulled…-
