FIB Ch 12 part 3

Once the loose ends were tied up, the camp was moved out of the small town where MoonWon had stayed and into a slightly larger village.

“You said that the war is over, so why are we moving the camp somewhere else? The camp doesn’t seem very…”

“Even if we are not going to move, we must make it seem like we are. That’s the only way we can draw out the dragon hiding behind Yeon, don’t you think?”

“Pardon?”

Junghwan tilted his head in confusion. A blast of cold wind crashed against their faces.

This place was bone-chillingly cold, so Heon hadn’t planned on staying here for long. However, he could not leave MoonWon here alone.

“Huu.”

“Master.”

When Junghwan approached him, Heon waved his hand. As always, every thought ended with MoonWon. 

It might have been easier to approach her if she had rejected him with everything she had. It was easier to change a heart that was rocked by strong emotion.

But she merely told him what couldn’t be would not be in a calm voice as she shook her head. It filled Heon’s heart with dread.

She did not deny their connection, but she also did not seem like she would accept it. Every time he saw this behavior, he felt as if his blood was running dry and his vision was going dark.

“Chief Commander!”

Heon’s brow slightly furrowed when he heard the voice calling his name. However, his expression quickly straightened out before he bowed. Seeing Heon’s behavior, Junghwan took a step back and bowed as well.

A few moments later, they saw the large body of the second prince covered in fur. He was gasping for breath due to the exertion.

“Your Highness.”

“Why have we stopped here? Wouldn’t it be better to advance forward rather than stay in a place like this?”

“If we make a wrong move in this cold, the one that will be destroyed is SeoMoon. If you are willing to take responsibility for the consequences, we can always move forward and…”

“Ah! No! There’s no need for that, is there? We can always begin to withdraw or strike a deal with Yeon.”

“I am thinking of sending an envoy in a few days, Your Highness.”

“It seems that we will be returning to SeoMoon soon.”

Heon glanced at the prince who was unable to hide his expression before lowering his head. The second prince observed Heon’s expression before asking a question, almost as if he’d been waiting to do this.

“If tying up loose ends is all that is left to do, then can’t you do it on your own? If it’s alright with you, I would like to return to SeoMoon with Lady SoHee. Is that okay?”

The second prince’s interest had turned from MoonWon to SoHee. He never expected SoHee’s sudden arrival to be such a great help, but neither SoHee nor the second prince were important to him.

Moreover, he had already heard about what SoHee had done to MoonWon.

“We must report the results to His Majesty, so please return as soon as possible, Your Highness. Once everything is finished here, I will make my way back as well.”

When he saw Heon take the bait, the second prince quietly celebrated in his heart.

Once his connection to the duke was secure, he would no longer need Heon. Since his marriage to SoHee had been confirmed, he could abandon the beast that had dared to bare its teeth to him.

“Then take care of the rest! I will prepare to return with Lady SoHee.”

Feeling intimidated by merely standing in front of Heon, the second prince quickly disappeared.

Once he was completely gone, Heon called out to Junghwan.

“It seems that we can slowly let the Crown Prince know.”

The secret plans that Heon had prepared were now beginning to take place. Junghwan was about to bow in response when he suddenly looked up at Heon and asked a question.

“Would you not rather do this in person?”

Consort Yu and the Imperial Palace had killed Heon’s father and torn down MoonWon’s family, effectively shattering Heon’s world. 

Junghwan knew that Heon had been keeping his rage towards the Consort and the imperial family suppressed under his cold rationale. In a situation where he could finally experience some refreshing revenge, Heon was still enduring it all with reason.

As a man of few words, Heon never showed anyone what he was thinking.

What did Heon want? Junghwan was curious, but he did not ask. As Heon’s subordinate, he did not need to know.

“What about MoonWon?”

“She said that her bedchamber was too lavish and that she did not want to stay there, but she eventually gave in at Yeori’s insistence. She said she felt fine, but I called a doctor just in case.”

“Mm.”

Now that the second prince and the duke had made an alliance, it was only a matter of time before they began to attack him. Right now, there were two pressing matters that needed his immediate attention. Yeon and MoonWon.

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

The matters regarding Yeon did not worry him, but, as expected, the problem was the fact that MoonWon did not change her mind.

He had overworked himself by going after MoonWon, and his body was screaming with exhaustion. His throbbing head felt a bit better, but his body still felt heavy.

Heon did his best to suppress the exhaustion and took a deep breath. The cold winds of Yeon tangled with Heon’s warm breath and created white mist.

Although the camp had moved to a small village, no fighting broke out.

As rumors began to spread that the war was most likely over, the atmosphere at the camp was not tense as if they were preparing for battle. Instead, it felt as if they were all cleaning up after the end of a war.

When she was asked to take a walk together for a little while, MoonWon came out with a scarf wrapped around her neck. She pulled the scarf up to her lips. Since there didn’t seem to be much wind today, it wasn’t too bad. But the cold was still difficult to bear.

“Mm?”

When she arrived at the location mentioned by Heon, she came to a halt when she saw what was happening.

SoHee was standing in front of Heon and blocking his way. MoonWon wasn’t sure why she looked so happy when Heon’s face was looking back at her with a cold expression.

Although she told herself that it was none of her business, MoonWon still felt strange. The scene looked so beautiful that it looked like it was straight out of a painting. She couldn’t take her eyes off of them.

Heon was staring at SoHee with tired eyes when he suddenly felt someone’s gaze. He turned around.

“MoonWon!”

Heon pushed SoHee away as she approached him and ran over to MoonWon. SoHee tried to follow him, but Junghwan came forward and stopped her. SoHee protested and ordered him to let go, but when her eyes met Heon’s, she collapsed to the ground.

Before SoHee had completely left their presence, Heon stepped in front of MoonWon and spoke in a frantic voice.

“Nothing happened!”

MoonWon tilted her head at his sudden declaration.

“I didn’t call for her, but that woman came on her own and blocked my way! I don’t know what you’ve heard, but don’t misunderstand! I will never marry her. Not now, not ever!”

When Heon stopped speaking, SoHee glared at Heon with a pale face. However, Heon had already run over to MoonWon, so he didn’t see her reaction. Trembling with rage as she glared at the couple, SoHee clenched her skirts and walked away.

After seeing SoHee’s departure, MoonWon gazed at Heon with frustrated eyes. She had never seen Heon so frazzled.

Was it new? Or was it interesting?

Whatever it was, she felt the strange feeling from before fade somewhat.

He was saying that even though this was his life, it had no meaning. She was at a loss for words at the desperation and earnestness in his voice.

MoonWon’s eyes traveled down to Heon’s hand that was wrapped with bandages. In the past, she had told Heon that she wanted to share the same view as him. At the time, Heon merely listened, but he never gave her a promise back.

But that man was now standing in front of her, covered in wounds that she had inflicted, and telling her he wanted to be with her. His transformation was awkward and made her heart throb. She was afraid that if she approached him carelessly, she’d be swallowed up by his warmth and disappear.

Intimidated by his fierce gaze, MoonWon looked away.

MoonWon’s eyes twitched at his curt reply. Just a moment ago, he told her it was a life they shared together. But now, he was feigning ignorance and forcing her hand once again.

When she saw the quiet glee in his eyes, MoonWon glared at him.

His playful reply held some sincerity.

She was a bit flustered by this strange conversation, but Heon was right. She didn’t have the power to reject his request.

With a soft sigh, MoonWon took a step back from Heon. When he saw her reluctant compromise, Heon did his best to swallow the bile that rose from his throat.

In the past, whenever they took a walk together, his heart would race and his face would grow warm. He didn’t expect to return to those peaceful times when they could happily spend time together, even if he tried his best.

“I will not be returning as your wife.”

Heon, who had been walking ahead of her, stopped in his tracks at her declaration.

Even if this was a cruel and harsh thing to say, she didn’t have any other choice. Although she no longer had anything left in her life, there was still something she wanted to protect.

She would no longer confuse her selfishness with love.

“I will take you back as my lover.”

It wasn’t that he had begun to see women in a different light. In actuality, MoonWon had become everything to him. He was a mere shell of a man, and the only one who could fill his life with warmth was MoonWon.

Therefore, he needed to bring everything back to its rightful place. If it was to bring MoonWon back, he would gladly do anything necessary.

The moment she was entangled with Heon, Consort Yu and JaeHoon would interfere. Ultimately, the events of the past would repeat.

She didn’t want to lose anyone again. She didn’t want someone to make enemies in order to protect her.

Just as she was about to ask Heon to let her go, he cut her off.

“If I could obtain peace by letting you go, I would have already done that by now. However, from the moment you left my side, I was plunged into hell.”

“I don’t know.”

Time flowed on, and once the second prince had finished preparing his departure, he left for the Imperial Palace.

SoHee made a fuss as she tried to stay at the military camp, but no one had the luxury to listen to her complaints. Heon dumped SoHee into the hands of the second prince and sent them back to the capital without any hesitation.

When the deathly cold weather of Yeon had warmed somewhat, they finally managed to assert their presence in Yeon.

Having come to participate in the diplomatic negotiations, Heon lowered his head to the man sitting at the table.

“You damned jerk.”

Doyoon had come in place of the nobles of Yeon, and as soon as he saw Heon, he began to curse at him. Heon bowed to Doyoon in earnest before finding his seat at the table.

The last time Doyoon saw Heon, he looked like a man who had received a death sentence. Today, however, he seemed to have regained some of his old spirit. Could someone make such a transformation just because he found one woman? As a man who did not have a lover of his own, Doyoon found Heon’s current appearance to be very fascinating and awkward.

“I was wondering why you were hanging around for so long. So you were interested in this all along, were you?”

“I only moved to benefit Yeon and SeoMoon.”

Doyoon had been busy trying to quell a conspiracy that had begun to move in Ju, so when he returned, he found that Yeon had completely capitulated to SeoMoon. Heon was someone who could always advance more aggressively, but he did not make his move. The moment Doyoon began to wonder why Heon was taking his time, he heard news that the duke and the second prince had joined hands in an alliance.

Heon had said that he was staying behind to negotiate a ceasefire, but his true objective wasn’t in Yeon all along.

Even if he forcibly took someone back like that, it didn’t guarantee that they would lower their heads in earnest. Actually, they might even bare their teeth at him.

Doyoon’s eyes narrowed when he saw that Heon was still playing dumb.

Even if MoonWon went back to SeoMoon, there was nothing left for her.

As if he had been reminded of when she had left the residence, Heon had stuck more people around her to keep an eye on her.

Even though she wasn’t even sure if she wanted to return, it didn’t matter. The people around her were diligently preparing to return to the bamboo grove.

She had heard that they’d be returning to SeoMoon in three or four days, so she had walked over here. But now that she had arrived, she couldn’t get herself to open the door.

Her breath merged with the cold wind and turned into mist. Now that she was here, she couldn’t just go back. MoonWon entered the office.

When she entered, someone told her that Heon wasn’t currently present, so she opened the door and went inside. The chill that brushed against her face made her gasp.

It was actually much warmer outside despite the windy weather. Because this room wasn’t very well lit, it was incredibly cold. A bone-chilling sensation began to spread throughout MoonWon’s body, causing her to shiver.
