PR by neji

At the Chief Commander Lee Heon’s wedding, famous officials whose names were known far and wide were in attendance. The banquet hall was also filled with people whose origins were uncertain. 

Because there were so many people, the banquet hall was very noisy.

“I heard that Consort Yu fainted in protest of this wedding. It seems that it was true. I don’t see any of her people at this wedding.”

“I heard that she groveled and knelt at the emperor’s feet, but His Majesty has declined to rescind his decree. I thought their relationship would last forever, but I feel like I can see the end now.”

Whether they were aware of the whispers or not, the bride and groom received the nuptial wine from the servants and drank it.

With her lips stained with the nuptial wine, MoonWon anxiously glanced at Heon.

Once he had decided to go through with the wedding, everything had happened so fast. The politics of this marriage and the underlying motives for this union did not matter.

‘This is for the best, right?’

She quietly asked herself as she let out a silent sigh. Regretting it now wouldn’t do her any good. Even though she knew this, she kept asking herself this question several times a day.

Despite his words, in the end, Heon was the one who shouldered the heavier burden of this marriage. However, he never showed his discomfort, but neither did he proudly declare that he’d endure it all on his own.

She felt as if she’d escaped out of the pan and into the fire.

His warning that this wouldn’t be easy never left her mind.

“My Lady!”

MoonWon was wrenched out of her thoughts by the low call.

It was time for the bride to bow to her husband. However, because MoonWon had been lost in thought, the ceremony had come to a halt. When MoonWon saw Heon’s annoyed gaze, she quickly lowered her body.

Whenever their eyes met, she felt even more intimidated by this man.

But she was marrying this kind of man. Was this for the best? More than anything, her family was his enemy.

‘It’s too late.’

Yuhwa, SoYoon, and YongUn were now in his hands. This marriage began with the emperor, but the one who held the fate of their lives was Heon. 

When MoonWon straightened up, it was now Heon’s turn to bow.

It wasn’t like her to be worried about something that hadn’t happened yet. No matter what the situation was, this was a good day for her.

As she received the ring from Heon, she flashed a slightly awkward smile.

The carriage came to a stop, and the servant who rode with her got out and held out a hand to MoonWon. Shaking her head, MoonWon got out by herself without any help.

“Wow.”

A short exclamation burst out of her lips as she looked around the residence.

The green bamboo shooting out of the snow caught her eye.

Even though she was speaking with the servant, MoonWon’s eyes were busy gazing at her surroundings.

A sharp gust of wind blew past MoonWon. It was a bit chilly, but the wind felt refreshing. Her face began to glow.

“Ah!”

When she heard the sound of the shaking bamboo trees, MoonWon’s eyes widened. On one hand, it sounded like the cries of a woman. On the other hand, it also sounded like the mischievous laughter of a child. MoonWon found it fascinating.

The servant burst into laughter after seeing MoonWon’s surprised expression.

“They say one can hear the cries of a maiden when the wind blows through the bamboo grove. Because they believe it is the sound of a ghost possessing a human, many are afraid of it.”

“Even if a human has been possessed by a ghost, they are still human. How can something that cannot be seen by the eye do anything to a living, breathing human? I find the sound of the bamboo in the silence to be very pleasing to the ear.”

The servant’s eyes widened at MoonWon’s reply. However, this only lasted a moment. The servant’s expression quickly returned to normal as they followed MoonWon’s gaze and stared at the bamboo forest.

“There was once a madame who hated the sound of the bamboo grove.”

MoonWon’s eyes narrowed in confusion. However, at that moment, a woman came outside with a dark expression and whispered into the servant’s ear. The servant paled at the woman’s words.

Something seemed off. However, even though she knew this, she felt that she couldn’t ask because she still felt like she was a stranger here.

Heon told her that this wouldn’t be easy. And she was the one who had entered this life with determination.

“Mistress, this was the residence of the previous master’s wife.”

The place where MoonWon would reside was a lot larger and more splendid than the Ju family’s residence even when they had been at their peak.

The trees seemed to want to hide the splendidness within. If MoonWon hadn’t been captivated by the green bamboo trees outside, she would have thought this place was lovely.

Her expectations and her reality were a bit different. MoonWon couldn’t get any words out. Barely any sunlight entered the residence. She merely stared in silence for a long time.

“Master told me to escort you here, but… Let me find a different residence for you right away.”

“There’s no need.”

MoonWon stopped the servant and slowly looked around. There was barely any light, but it wasn’t completely dark. If she wanted to enjoy some sunlight, she could just go outside.

If anything, this place was much better than the house she had lived in before her wedding. As long as she didn’t have any difficulties in her day-to-day life, it didn’t matter.

In the end, all she brought with her was a chest full of ornaments that her mother had stowed away, a cut of SoYoon’s hair, and the bow and arrow she had always used.

Although YongUn was against it, she had never gone without her bow and arrow after having learned how to shoot from her father. In the end, she secretly handed some money to the servant and brought them with her.

After tidying up her belongings in her new room, MoonWon’s hand came to a halt.

Her calm face finally darkened.

The exhaustion of the wedding had finally caught up with her. MoonWon touched her hair that had been swept up after her wedding¹. It felt so unfamiliar to her.

After their wedding, MoonWon hadn’t seen Heon.

As she waited in fear and anxiety, she passed her first night without seeing her new husband. After seeing the dawn sky light up with the sunrise, MoonWon took off her bridal clothes by herself along with her bridal headdress.

“Ah!”

When she opened the door, a cool breeze brushed past her face.

She had heard that Heon’s father had grieved the wife who had left him for the emperor until he had taken his final breath. 

Remembering this, she recalled how the servant had warned her to never talk about Consort Yu inside this place.

Was this the price she had to pay to carry out this unwanted marriage? Heon had given her the remote residence surrounded by bamboo trees that had once belonged to Consort Yu.

“He’s basically telling me to live as if I’m dead.”

This building was hidden by a dense forest of bamboo, completely set apart from the rest of the residence.

A bitterness began to well up deep within her heart, but MoonWon did her best to suppress it.

It would be difficult, but it was her responsibility to deal with it.

One month passed by in a flash.

During this time, Heon never visited MoonWon’s residence. Possibly due to the rumors of her mother’s horrible nature, the servants did not approach her either.

MoonWon, who had promised to live as if she were dead, spent her days quietly in the bamboo grove.

“Mistress.”

Her chambermaid opened the door and entered with a tray of tea. The servant was still too young to be called a woman. MoonWon smiled at her.

Yeori, the servant girl, carefully placed the tea down, she glanced at the book in MoonWon’s hand and frowned.

MoonWon tilted her head in confusion as she looked up from her book. Possibly because she was the youngest, Yeori was the one whom MoonWon saw the most often. 

“Dress up a little and make sure everything is in place! You must fulfill the role of the mistress of this house!”

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

MoonWon knew why Yeori was saying this, but she couldn’t get herself to step up. 

This marriage had come to be only because she had promised to live as if she were dead. She had to live her life as if she wasn’t there. Fulfilling her role as a mistress was not allowed.

“You must fulfill your role as the mistress. You must be seen in order to grow closer. You never know. Maybe the Master is misunderstanding something. You must continue to see him in order to slowly weave your lives together, isn’t that right?”

Yeori’s heart boiled as she watched MoonWon look back at her as if this were someone else’s business.

At first, Yeori avoided MoonWon after hearing that the Master had married a woman who was the daughter of a wicked woman.

Because she was the youngest, Yeori had to bite the bullet and attend to MoonWon. However, despite her worries, MoonWon was quiet and very considerate towards her.

She wanted to show the rest of the servants as well as Master Heon that MoonWon was a good person, but rather than going out, MoonWon spent her days in silence within the secluded residence. 

“I’m going to go out for a walk.”

Although she didn’t really care, she didn’t like seeing Yeori so upset. MoonWon stood up to take a brief walk, but she paused and frowned down at her wide, drooping skirts.

Even before her family fell from grace, MoonWon had never worn such long, drooping skirts like this.

She heard that the previous mistress, Consort Yu, had worn silk skirts even wider and more splendid than this. However, if she were to be honest, she felt that, while these clothes were beautiful, they were completely useless.

If it were up to her, she would wear something more comfortable, but after she had come to the bamboo grove, she tried to follow their rules as closely as she could.

“You’re going to tell me not to follow you again, aren’t you?”

Before MoonWon could say anything, Yeori spoke up first. MoonWon nodded.

“I won’t go far.”

“So you’re going to go off on your own again? You’ll be in big trouble if you get caught.”

As MoonWon made an attempt to leave, Yeori quickly brought her a long hooded cape. The cape was as long as her dress. MoonWon felt that if she wore this on top, she’d feel too suffocated.

“Mistress.”

When MoonWon tried to take off the cape, Yeori protested. As they started to quarrel, they heard an unfamiliar voice.

Completely flustered, Yeori quickly lowered her hands. MoonWon tidied her clothes.

“What is it?”

“You have a guest. I will escort you to them.”

MoonWon nodded, but she suddenly frowned at the thought that popped into her head. After glancing at Yeori for a moment, she called out to the servant.

“If this person is my guest, then you can just guide them here. Why must I be the one who goes out?”

The servant reflexively bowed when she heard MoonWon’s question. When she realized that she was bowing, she straightened back up. Yeori’s startled eyes were staring at her, but MoonWon’s eyes gazed at her as if she were expecting an answer.

“The guest’s status is too high to bring them here. They are not far away, so we have already made the arrangements for your travel. Please come out.”

The attendant knew that the Master shunned his wife. She knew that the wife had no power here. Her status as the mistress of the house could change according to Heon’s whims.

However, having watched her mother enjoy the benefits of power without thinking of the responsibilities that came with it, MoonWon was the one who took care of household matters while her parents were out enjoying themselves.

In her current situation, MoonWon knew from experience that a guest would do her more harm than good.

“The Master is not here, so I can guess that the guest does not wish to meet him. Why does the guest wish to meet me?”

“Mistress.”

“If you are not going to properly tell me who the guest is, then I will not go out.”

Having never seen this side of MoonWon, the servant was at a loss for words. The same went for Yeori. A few moments later, the attendant hesitated before uttering a familiar name.

Heon had grabbed her hand when there was no reason for him to do so. As he had told her, the path wasn’t an easy one, but she still wanted to do her best.

After getting out of the carriage, MoonWon’s breath caught as she took in the sight before her. It was a small pavilion, but it was surrounded by a small lake and a dense forest. It looked quite beautiful.

MoonWon felt like she could just stare at the scenery for hours on end, but, unfortunately, the thought of meeting the guest who was waiting for her made her feel like she couldn’t breathe.

“Greetings, Your Highness Consort Yu.”

“We’re now one family, so do not be like that. Come and sit.”

MoonWon’s mother had tried to bring her when she met with the Consort a few times, but YongUn had protested, saying that she was too young. Because of this, MoonWon had never seen the Consort’s face before.

“After your mother left this world in such a terrible manner, my heart broke for her. I have not truly been myself ever since her passing. I feel that it is divine fate that I am able to see you like this now.”

Possibly because of the intense discomfort of the situation, MoonWon was unable to relax in the Consort’s presence.

It might just be her imagination, or it might be due to the fact that she felt like she was dragged out of her residence.

“It seems that I haven’t gotten used to the social life here. I apologize, Your Highness Consort.”

“At this rate, you will continue to be shunned and wither away. However, if you make the wise decision and accept my authority, we can help each other. Isn’t that a good idea?”

The Consort shook her hand as if to tell the court lady to stop nagging her.

They told her that the young servant girl who had been doing the laundry had made a mistake while washing her silk clothing. The young girl apologized, and MoonWon told her it was alright and sent her back. She looked down at the silk clothing in her hands that had been turned into rags.

Ever since she had refused to take up the Consort’s offer, the servants’ behaviors had changed. They’d break vases as they cleaned, rip her clothes, or forget to bring MoonWon her things.

The door opened and the servant placed the table in front of MoonWon. The servant quickly exited the room as if she were running away after she was done. Seeing this, MoonWon picked up her spoon.
