SNF | Chapter 2.4
Took our mother. Yeon-oh couldn’t agree with those words. He had never taken their mother away. He had simply been born, gripping a fragile umbilical cord. As a child, he might have shrunk back in guilt when Hye Yeonseo blamed him for taking their mother from her. But now that he was grown, he felt no such weight. No emotion had the power to crush him anymore. “So, you really have grown up.” “……” “When you were younger, you never knew where to look. Or have you just become…-

SNF | Chapter 2.3
The Empress quickly tried to smooth over the situation, perhaps noticing Yeon-oh’s silence. “It’s fine.” “No, it’s not. Honestly, I should have realized that you must have thought of and missed your mother far more than I did.” She had been absent from the moment of his birth. There was no way he could feel longing or a sense of loss. But Yeon-oh didn’t bother to argue the point. “By the way, how are the Princess and the Prince doing? They must have grown quite a…-

SNF | Chapter 2.2
Yeon-oh held the tea cup engraved with floral patterns and took a slow sip. The aroma was deep, rich. He was particular about tea, yet even he found himself pausing to take in the fragrance once more. “It has a wonderful taste. Not at all bitter.” As soon as Yeon-oh offered his brief assessment after sipping, the Empress’ expression lit up with satisfaction. “This tea is made from leaves grown exclusively in Juyang. Their depth of aroma is unparalleled, and this particular batch is of the…-

SNF | Chapter 2.1
Yeon-oh, stretching his arms to the sides, indifferently received the assistance of a servant dressing him. He donned a robe embroidered with red lotus flowers and fastened a blue tassel at his waist. With ruby-studded pure gold earrings and his hair neatly done, he looked every bit the scion of a noble family. As his personal servant stepped back after finishing the preparations, his nanny approached closely, holding a mirror. “It seems a bit much today.” “We’re going to the Golden Palace…-

SNF | Chapter 1.5
The moon, half-hidden by clouds, was now shining more brightly as the wind scattered the veil of mist. Or maybe it was simply because he was now closer—close enough to see him more clearly. Rather than responding, Yeon-oh calmly straightened his slightly disheveled robes, all the while fixing his gaze on the man. He was tall. From the way the top of Yeon-oh’s head barely reached the man’s chin, he had to be at least six cheok tall. After making a rough estimate of his height, Yeon-oh took…-

SNF | Chapter 1.4
Reluctantly, Yeon-oh lay down and closed his eyes. The darkness behind his eyelids felt suffocating. His body stiffened involuntarily, and an odd, restless thumping echoed from within his chest. There was an anxious weight pressing down on him, one he couldn’t quite explain. Unaware of Yeon-oh’s inner turmoil, the Prime Minister pulled the blanket up to his neck and patted his chest lightly, almost as if soothing a child. “I used to do this for you often when you were…-

SNF | Chapter 1.3
With nothing else to say, Yeon-oh simply gave a short response. His gaze flickered to the Prime Minister, who had turned to a nearby servant, ordering them to prepare an evening meal. Wrinkles gathered at the corners of his father’s eyes as he smiled, patting Yeon-oh lightly on the back. “Come now, let’s go to your quarters. I had them refurbished before your arrival. I hope you’ll find them to your liking.” “Since Father personally saw to the arrangements, how could I not be pleased with…-

SNF | Chapter 1.2
The one who picked up the words Yeon-oh had casually spoken was his nanny. The eight years in Hanam had passed like a flowing river, and to Yeon-oh, it never felt like that long of a time. But perhaps it had been different for them. After all, just because eight years didn’t feel long to Yeon-oh didn’t mean it was short. The boy who had been just eight years old was now on the verge of turning sixteen, ready to perform his coming-of-age ceremony. “They’ll get used to it in no time,” the nanny…-

SNF | Chapter 1.1
“…It’s because of you!” A hand suddenly shot out from the darkness, gripping his neck with a brutal force. The person muttering incomprehensible words was so deeply shrouded in darkness that even their gender was indiscernible. All that was visible was the pale hand clutching his throat. He couldn’t see anything. This was enough to evoke an unknown fear. As he desperately tried to push the person away by grabbing their arm, Yeon-oh realized that his own hand had become incredibly small.…-

SNF | Prologue
The world had descended into chaos. What was meant to be the grandest, most splendid royal wedding was now drowned in screams and blood. The princess, her face veiled, clung to Yeon-oh, her body trembling like a leaf in a storm. “Uncle… Uncle… What’s happening? Uncle, I’m scared.” Her voice, thick with terror, quivered as she called out to him. And in the midst of this nightmarish hell, the very one who had orchestrated it all stood there, half of his face hidden behind a mask, the…-
