The drop of blood hanging precariously on his chin dropped to the ground.

“Huu.”

His long sigh merged with the cold wind and turned into white clouds of mist. He wiped away the red blood that was blocking his vision. When the Emperor of SeoMoon had grown ill, one of the neighboring countries bared its teeth at SeoMoon.

Because it was an urgent matter, Heon had personally led the scouting troops and blocked the foreign soldiers’ attacks.

‘Let’s take care of our bodies.’

Heon’s eyes softened as he gazed down at the long wound on the back of his hand.

He had tried to be careful, but he had accidentally gotten cut by the enemy general’s sword before he had been killed.

The only thing keeping him sane were the traces left behind by MoonWon. After her departure, when the tension of war had calmed down, he was wracked with anxiety and despair.

“And it looks like this exhausting war has finally come to an end.”

When Heon heard the unpleasant voice, his face hardened.

When he turned his head, he saw an intimidatingly large man slowly approaching him. The man smiled at Heon, but greed and vanity oozed out of his expression.

“Why have you come all the way to the battlefield, Your Highness Second Prince?”

“Staying at the outpost was suffocating. But it looks like the battlefield isn’t any better. It’s just dirty, tsk, tsk. Are you leaving now?”

There were many princes that could be raised to power instead of JaeHoon.

Of the many that approached Heon for assistance, the one he ultimately chose was JaeHoon’s younger half-brother, the second prince.

While JaeHoon was indecisive as a person, he always drew the line when it came to SeoMoon. Unlike JaeHoon, the second prince was not cautious at all. However, a choice was a choice, and reality was reality.

Heon suppressed the urge to get rid of him immediately and replied in a calm voice.

“Now that we’ve captured the soldiers from the nation of Yeon, I need to stay behind and take care of the rest. I believe it will take us another week.”

“Another week? How can I wait that long?! Just leave it to your subordinates and come back with me to the Imperial Palace.”

Yeon threatened the lives of the people of SeoMoon, but the second prince only cared about his own peace of mind. Heon did not have any expectations of the second prince, but the more he interacted with him, the more pathetic he seemed.

“Or you can stay behind by yourself. I’ll go and speak with His Majesty alone.”

His deception was so obvious that Heon couldn’t find it in himself to laugh.

He had decided to support the second prince for this exact reason. His excessive greed was going to gnaw at the nation of SeoMoon. Heon was going to spread a cruel poison throughout SeoMoon, and this man was perfect for the job.

“Your Highness.”

The second prince unconsciously took a step back when he saw Heon’s expression.

Heon didn’t care about the prince’s personal hobbies, but if those hobbies could come back to bite him, he did not plan on fulfilling his requests.

“A-Alright! It was only a suggestion. No need to look so serious. Then I’ll be leaving.”

“If you take a single maiden or a single soldier on your way back, you will have to deal with the consequences, Your Highness.”

The second prince stepped back as if he were running away from Heon’s words. Heon watched him haul his large body out as if he were making an escape and slowly shook his head.

Although that man acted this way now, he was definitely planning on making trouble in secret.

SeoMoon was a great nation in name only. In all actuality, it was festering. And the one who was responsible for it was not Consort Yu or the Crown Prince. It was him.

“Master.”

As soon as the second prince left, Junghwan approached Heon. As if to prove that this battle had not been easily won, Junghwan’s clothes were also a bloody mess. When he reached Heon’s side, he cautiously opened his mouth.

The discomfort he had felt with the second prince disappeared in an instant.

Heon called his subordinate and took care of loose ends. After doing so, he got on his horse.

A young woman was trembling as she hid under the blanket behind the old woman. Even though she was afraid of Heon, the old woman clung onto his leg.

“I will die instead, so just save my daughter-in-law’s life. My lord! Aagh!”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

When Heon heard that she was her daughter-in-law, he pushed the old woman away. When he closed his eyes, he could still see MoonWon clearly. The old woman tried to hold Heon back, but Heon had already grabbed ahold of the blanket and pulled it away.

“My lord! Aigoo, my lord!”

The maiden under the blanket looked at Heon with terrified eyes. Heon’s racing heart slowed.

The woman grabbed the blanket and covered her face and body once more. Heon stared at her for another moment before exiting the room.

“I’m sorry, Master.”

It had been another false alarm. He couldn’t remember how many times this had happened. However, even though the women were all false alarms, instead of growing tired, Heon felt even more determined.

It didn’t matter where she was or what she was doing. He would find her no matter what.

He knew very well why the Palace was calling for his return, but Heon was not so generous as to do what they asked.

‘Time will pass by like a dream, and all the pain and memories will disappear.’

As soon as he entered the Palace, the people waiting for him made their way to him.

Heon sneered as he watched their eyes rolling in their sockets. Many things had changed, but the thing that had changed the most was the flow of power.

As if it had been waiting for MoonWon to disappear, the torrential rain had ended. The Emperor promoted him by two ranks and gave him more land.

Heon never said he’d accept or deny it, but the Emperor assumed everything had been settled and returned the Consort and the Crown Prince to their original places.

Although he never accepted the promotion and land that the Emperor had bestowed upon him, Heon did obtain one thing from SeoMoon. Something he had neither held interest in nor wanted.

“I will tell His Majesty that it is too early to hold a banquet. How can we hold a banquet at times like this? I do not know what His Majesty is thinking, tsk, tsk.”

The man was about to tell Heon that he had had a hand in the preparations for Heon’s banquet, but when Heon refused to attend, he put the blame on someone else.

Heon wasn’t angry because he didn’t have any expectations from these people. In the past, he would never have associated himself with them. However, now they were like his hands and feet.

The eunuch looked at Heon with a complicated expression before announcing Heon’s presence. The doors quickly opened.

Lying in his bed, the Emperor glared at Heon with sharp eyes. However, Heon was not JaeHoon nor the foolish second prince. He was not intimidated by him.

He gave opportunities to those who approached him with a purpose and obtained information in return. He used the information to create opportunities for great profit and gain. And then he would pass on these opportunities to those who followed him.

Those who hadn’t been able to gain the favor of the Consort or the Crown Prince began to follow Heon. And as time passed, those who were under the Consort and the Crown Prince began to waver as well.

“Has this servant done anything to bring harm to SeoMoon, Your Majesty?”

Although Heon did bring profit to his followers, the one who gained the most from these relationships was ultimately Heon.

Only three years had passed. For a man who had no interest in power, after nursing spite deep within his heart, the flow of power that had flowed into the Palace was beginning to flow towards him.

“Cough, cough.”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

The Emperor sat up and began coughing vehemently. The nearby eunuch approached him. The Emperor drank the tea that the eunuch served him before letting out an uncomfortable breath.

When the Emperor collapsed, the Consort’s suppressed ambition finally bared its teeth. She still acted like a soft and gentle maiden, but when things did not go her way, instead of patiently waiting like she used to, she would cling to the Emperor’s side as she begged him to fulfill her wishes.

“Cough, your wife left on her own. Cough, cough.”

Heon’s eyes grew cold at the Emperor’s remark.

He suppressed the boiling rage threatening to overflow. If the Emperor were any other man, Heon would have spewed venomous words at him. However, the Emperor was not any other man.

Heon only wanted one thing.

But there wasn’t anyone in the Palace who could fulfill that wish for him.

He merely spoke words that were pleasing to the ear. In the end, the Emperor was not someone who could change.

Heon didn’t want to blame anyone for what had happened. He didn’t have any plans of raising his voice to proclaim the guilt of those around him.

He merely held the reins of those who refused to self-reflect. He planned on watching from the sidelines as these people writhed to escape their fate. As they gasped for breath and their blood ran dry.

“What?”

The Emperor had made sure that this was all done in secret. He made sure Heon hadn’t caught on. Afraid that Heon would act once he found out, the Emperor had deliberately sent him to the frontlines of battle to avoid this very situation.

The Emperor had gathered allies who would support the Crown Prince, but Heon had already swallowed half of them. In addition, the strongest supporter of the Crown Prince, Lee Moon, had not only vacated his position but his life was also in danger.

“Isn’t this for the sake of SeoMoon as well? This servant is also working towards that goal, so you should accept it, Your Majesty.”

“You!”

“It seems that Consort Yu was not the problem. Ahaha.”

As the Emperor burst into laughter, Heon turned his eyes to the person who entered with the royal physician. Once the Emperor’s love for the Consort had cooled, he had taken Consort Yeong as his main paramour. Her eyes met Heon’s as she approached the Emperor.

Back then, Heon was merely a general who dwelled in the battlefield. What could this stuffy man possibly do in the world of politics? However, because their current situation was not good at the time, he had decided to ignore these thoughts and do as Heon said.

“Are you going to keep Lee Moon alive?”

Although they were both moving in the same direction, the duke still found Heon uncomfortable and could not confidently call him an ally. 

“We can use this chance to bring Lee Moon down completely. Why would I keep him alive?”

“Lee Moon can still be of use to us. And the Crown Prince has lost his influence, so the moment we take Lee Moon down, he is as good as gone.”

The duke caught his breath when he saw Heon’s calm eyes. Neither the Consort nor Heon’s late father was like this. Could a man change this much just because his wife had left him? The duke shook his head.

Heon was probably like this from the very start. It merely came up to the surface with the absence of his wife.

While it was true that their power was still growing, the greatest problem was that it was all flowing towards Heon. When the duke prepared a secret plan ahead of time, Heon would catch on and move first.

The duke’s followers voiced that this was probably for the best since Heon’s interests seemed to align with theirs, but the duke felt that, at this rate, Heon would swallow them whole before they could reach the pinnacle of power.

Heon had already gotten what he had come for. There was no reason for him to stay any longer. The duke and the Consort could enjoy the refreshments on their own. Heon got up from his seat. Just as he was about to announce his departure, the maiden behind the Consort began to approach him.

“My name is SoHee. I introduced myself to you last time. Do you remember me?”

At a loss for words, the Consort’s face hardened. After MoonWon left, the Consort’s authority grew stronger, but that was only on the surface.

The Emperor’s favor had clearly started to lean towards the newly inducted Consort Yeong. And the influence she had before was now swallowed up by Heon.

“If you would like to find out what my wife has left behind, then continue to behave as you are now.”

He thought she’d always stay by his side. However, when she disappeared, all that was left in her place was the jewelry box she had brought with her when they got married and the two keys that were inside.

On the surface, it merely looked like your average jewelry box. However, when one looked at the bottom of the box, one could see that there was a keyhole. One of the keys fit the keyhole to reveal a secret compartment. The contents inside were completely outside of Heon’s expectations.

When he opened the neatly folded papers, he saw that they were letters written in the Consort’s handwriting.

She had written of the wrongdoings that Heon had already been aware of. But there were also things he hadn’t known.
