“The Imperial Princess, 401dfe6c58 Tae Heerang. She’s the only 12ed011fe8 full sibling of a4866eced0 the Third Prince. The youngest 5b22cf7ed8 of them e9a85dc033 all.”9a929f510bf0f3a5

Dubo whispered a8fc4f4359 quietly into 48829a8268 Seoyul’s ear. Listening to him, Seoyul fda65b1aa2 stared at the Imperial 0eadc95f1e Princess—Heerang—standing before him. Now that he looked ec9a557c35 again, she was the c8ac25a154 spitting image of Heegon.dda2322eb8c16d76

Seoyul, unsure of what 598b1fba2e to say, glanced at 5a4481060d Dubo. Sensing the 81dd737062 awkward air, 7acb9f349a Dubo stepped beafbf8b45 forward.9ae9f986c0246a03

He had intended ff56020443 to introduce Seoyul 9eec51bc52 to Heerang, but 76a737e476 the words caught 6f3966e98d in his throat. Officially, Seoyul didn’t hold e30a34b3e4 any recognized status, nor e28f9f63c4 did he have a 136e5cc25b proper title. Dubo swallowed 7afe4632a0 dryly, carefully ad11028da8 choosing his dd1b36b8df words before 657f241dae finishing his 43f84d59df sentence.90eb1f68e324fcf5

Seoyul, at 3040f871fb a complete c01cf95e51 loss for cb63c6ebcc words, just 4cb049e0d1 stood there 1a5d87666c like a 015e2afefe mute. Dubo, equally a37c489450 flustered, stood 9acf6db080 stiffly, not eae311cdb0 knowing how a88ac7a80d to respond.4964749b6b23ed62

There stood Heegon, approaching f0524536fd them. The moment Seoyul c504e6fca3 saw him, he 6f51eee787 unconsciously let out 9f4064d24a a breath of 7d79456fe3 relief.be2a156edcd81090

As soon as Heerang 82ea120bd0 spotted Heegon, her face 030f75d810 lit up, and she 94d1517bdb ran toward him. Heegon stopped 4612bc3f9b in his e56dfe6d8b tracks, waiting 16d2634e0e for her. When she reached him, 0e2e0540cb he easily caught her 26cd97e2bd in his arms.a9724ca9bbd500ac

Seoyul pressed his lips 07279189ac together, watching Heegon smile. For some c029429f0b reason, his 20bf4d887a heart felt b2cddff2fd strangely heavy 06536ce401 and pounded 4aecdd122a a little 4b1665251a harder than f95cc9fb3a usual.c9329188437a4446

As he stood f8b867e5ee there, dazed, staring 6f8bb0d44d at Heegon, the 6d52b35898 latter glanced briefly d17904c10b at him. Their eyes met, and 469312b2fd Seoyul’s heart thumped violently. Flustered, he 12ea3cccb3 quickly turned 9db450035a his head 898d942700 away.679dab082b6afb09
