The man’s pace remained steady as he walked inside the Palace.
His eye-catching physique drew the gazes of the court ladies at first. However, the chilly aura oozing out of him quickly made them turn their eyes away.

Whether he realized the women’s gazes or not, Heon stopped following the eunuch and stood still.
“Inform him.”

Hearing his cold, emotionless command, the young eunuch announced his arrival and shakily opened the closed door.
The emperor sat at the seat of honor, and the woman preparing tea at his feet bowed down.

“I, Chief Commander Lee Heon, have come to offer up my greetings to you, Your Majesty.”

The woman’s gaze lingered on Lee Heon. Seeing this, the emperor flashed a warm smile.
“It looks like Consort’s face is glowing now that her son has returned victorious from war.”

“Y-Your Majesty.”
The woman blushed as she lowered her head. Despite the harmonious atmosphere, as the person in question, Heon remained calm and collected.

After the death of the empress, the Consort was the only one who received the emperor’s affections. Although he was the Consort’s son, Heon did not flaunt it. Actually, he kept his head down. His skills spoke for themselves.
“Good work on this war as well. You’ve conquered two foreign cities, and it looks like we’ll be receiving tributes from these countries within five years. This is more than satisfactory. You’ve accomplished something big.”

Heon lowered his head at the emperor’s praise. As he stroked his long beard, the emperor looked at Heon and then turned his eyes to the Consort brewing the tea.
“I would like to speak in private with the chief commander. I understand your heart of wanting to see your son, but this won’t take long, so can you give us some time alone?”

The Consort lowered her head and quietly exited the room.
Once any trace of the Consort’s presence had disappeared, the emperor picked up his teacup and took a sip. After breathing in the comforting fragrance of the tea, the emperor let out a satisfied sigh. He leaned back into his chair.

Everyone knew that the ‘Ju family’ the emperor spoke of was Ju YongUn’s family. The emperor had wiped out the whole family a few years ago.
The problem was that before the family had been annihilated, the daughter was chosen as the Crown Prince’s future wife.

The SeoMoon emperor’s most favored consort as well as the most influential woman in the Palace. Yu HeeYoung was the emperor’s consort, and now she was the mother of Chief Commander Lee Heon, the man who had won the war.
After getting married, she gave birth to Heon. However, instead of staying by her husband’s side at the head of the clan, she reached out her hand and entered the emperor’s embrace.

Hearing the emperor’s roar, Heon hunched his body into a bow and closed his eyes.
After losing his wife, who had been his first love, Heon’s father was unable to pick himself back up and continued to fall. Letting go of his only son as well as his clan, he drank himself to oblivion. Ultimately, he let go of his own life.

Having witnessed his father’s death after being abandoned by Consort Yu, Heon was left all alone. He lowered his head and bided his time. He repaid the ones who looked down on him for being the son of a fallen noble family, and he steadily took back all the things that his father had lost.
“I know what kind of woman the future Crown Princess was to the Crown Prince.”

The Crown Prince had seen Ju YongUn’s daughter while standing at the top of a pagoda and had fallen in love at first sight. After he found out that Ju YongUn’s wife and the Consort were childhood friends, he passed her through the Crown Princess Selection and raised her as his future Crown Princess.
Ultimately, when it became known that she had passed through the Crown Princess Selection so haphazardly, inadvertently insulting the Consort, her whole family was razed to the ground. However, the Crown Prince was unable to forget her.

Heon suppressed the curses that threatened to burst out of his throat. Although he knew that he had no choice in the matter, he couldn’t help but boil with rage.
To Heon, women were creatures that hypnotized men with sweet words. And once they received what they wanted, they betrayed and abandoned. He didn’t need a woman in his life, and he definitely did not want a wife.

If the emperor wanted to marry the daughter off so that the Crown Prince would curb his stupidity, he could have married her off to countless other men instead of Heon.
When Heon came to his conclusion, he furrowed his brow.

Back when he was the Crown Prince, the emperor had fallen for the Consort at first sight. However, the Consort’s family lacked the influence required of a Crown Princess, and the previous emperor did not approve of her.
His passionate love for her was quashed under the order of the previous emperor.

Once he came into power and sat on the throne, Ju YongUn’s wife set them up to meet once again. He was surprised to learn that the love he thought had cooled was burning bright once more.
But they had met too late. She already had a husband and a son. She couldn’t bring anything of use to him, who was now the emperor.

“I do treasure her. Although I cannot put her in the deceased empress’s seat, I only treasure your mother in a sea of countless women in the Palace. However, favoring her is one thing. Sharing my authority is a completely different matter.”
Even though he didn’t want power, even though he wasn’t greedy for more, because of his accomplishments in war, Heon had created a following.

The emperor shared no children with the Consort. To the Consort, Heon was like a shining light that grew brighter and brighter. There was no way she would accept his marriage to the Ju family’s daughter.
“Don’t you know what that family means to me?”

“The family’s wife introduced the Consort to me.”
The one who introduced Consort Yu to the emperor gained immense power. She was the main culprit who had set up a married lady with the emperor. And because of that, Heon’s family was ripped apart and his clan collapsed with a whimper.

If Consort Yu had not gotten irritated by the family’s gradually increasing influence and made the first move, Heon would have been the one to strike that family down. He could barely endure the fact that they were living underneath the same sky. Therefore, taking his enemy’s daughter as his wife was impossible.
“That father was greedy for power, and his wife was terrible, but the same does not go for the daughter. I did tear down that family for political reasons, but the child is such a waste. While the father has probably lost his mind beyond repair, I want to save the daughter. I would like for you to marry this child.”

“No one knows whether marrying me will be her redemption or her poison.”
The time that would have passed for others was a deep scar that remained with Heon.

If his father’s final request at his deathbed wasn’t one that asked him to refrain from taking revenge, Heon would have bared his teeth at Consort Yu and the emperor and fed them the most painful poison.

Heon’s determined and menacing remark caused the emperor’s eyes to widen. However, after a moment, the emperor let out a hearty laugh. The emperor liked how relentless Heon’s behavior and speech was. It was so unlike the Crown Prince.

Skin as white as snow, lips as red as the camellia flower. The woman was so beautiful that one could not even evaluate her true age. She looked as if she’d blow away with the slightest breeze. When she lowered her eyes and dripped tears, she could melt the hearts of men. She was beautiful, but she was also able to draw the eyes of every man around her.
The woman who had been sitting demurely by the emperor’s side was nowhere to be seen.

However, now wasn’t the time to confront him. She needed to grab his hand. The empress was dead, and the one who was in charge of the inner court was her.
Because the emperor had given the authority to the Crown Prince, the other princes did not show themselves to her anymore. But because of her domineering presence in the Palace as well as Heon’s rank, her future at the Palace looked sturdy and bright.

“What ulterior motive can a mother have when she calls for her son? But now that you’re here, having a nice morning chat doesn’t seem all that bad.”
Heon narrowed his eyes as if to ask what she meant. Suddenly, the court maids laid out a portrait before them. When Heon saw this, a smile stretched across his lips.

The court ladies flinched as they heard the shattering of a vase. However, when they heard another vase shatter, they looked at each other with tearful eyes.
Even when a young concubine had temporarily received the emperor’s favor and was acting impudent towards her, Consort Yu never betrayed her dismay. When the emperor’s favor had returned to her, the concubine’s life was taken away as repayment. Even when she was affronted with such an insult, Consort Yu had never shown anger like this.

Consort Yu’s anger did not subside despite the duke’s words. Her clenched fists trembled as she glared into the distance. This was a woman who didn’t even raise a brow at anything, so to see her like this was almost unbelievable. Was it because even an abandoned son was still her son?
However, the duke shook his head at his own thoughts. To Consort Yu, the most important person was not the emperor nor her son. It was herself.

“Why must it be the daughter from the Ju family? That family can hardly be called a proper House, but His Majesty plans on tying them around Heon’s neck. Does that make any sense to you?”
Because she did not share a son with the emperor, the only way the Consort could remain in the Palace was to raise the new emperor with her own hands. However, there was no way the Crown Prince would stretch out a hand to her now that she had pushed out the empress and taken all of the emperor’s favor.
