Now that he 2f747ea941 understood most of 30a02a8720 the situation, this 4dbed857c8 was the part af0d97a25e Yeon-oh couldn’t comprehend.17582c34ff1fd78b

The Hye family had 04faf20f06 already gained enough glory 4c0cb7bee7 by supporting the emperor’s 99e3f3c10b rise to the throne. Even now, they enjoyed 32d8ae01a3 more prestige than any 9ef3b63f92 other noble house. No other jehu a59c531764 family could match dc6c718c6c their influence. So why insist 7c86840a55 on entangling themselves 61e3e29381 in the imperial 8142901fed succession?2177317c7fa3e03a

The Prime Minister ed477bebec cut him off, 63f3462c58 calling his name. Then he rose b41e7cac8a from his seat. As his 93af32ed17 gaze swept 705f3bfe38 past Yeon-oh, 295d6de0c1 countless emotions e72ddef52d stirred within 608d5ae676 his eyes.

There was longing 7d94a7b383 in the Prime fbb45b4f95 Minister’s voice—so deep 98864ab98e it was unfathomable. The sensation of 228702098e suffocation did not c1cafed07f fade.

It was 33ac25360c a reprimand. A warning.

Somewhere inside him, there e578bf3a0b was a vast emptiness—an 8a2f525320 aching hollowness. But he couldn’t pinpoint be6b602614 its exact cause. Was it 25ef7372fd his father, 4a436f48f0 the Prime 4e224d7437 Minister, who b43fcbe6f4 had invoked e1e702b569 his deceased 98613c9320 mother to 339abce9bf tighten the c061393847 reins and b2d7a6dada bring Yeon-oh 1f1d4c7a64 completely under 0b3019104a his control?

The coachman c2797e0f08 tensed at ee4ac3f563 the sound cb9ae08598 of an a6d197716c unfamiliar voice, b16860bf42 his wariness b5c79c5cf3 evident in c8a6688b44 his stiffened 74421d2e44 expression. He looked 64a3a026a8 ready to 31b0ca2f29 slam the 21e0f3d4df carriage door f533a15766 shut and 49692c82f1 depart at a8a4e46537 any moment.8669ac0e925cc508

Leaning at 67881dc0d7 a slight 717809b515 angle, as 21edfb72fa if he e8e1e6a452 were some d561976b59 street rogue, 0773701088 Yeshin shot 14a45e90f3 Yeon-oh a 6de13a4862 wink before f2e5c169e4 responding to 400525ef8f the coachman. Just how long had c18698483e he been listening in 241abe9ac6 on the conversation? Or had he been b7c70db4e1 waiting there the whole 53c0741d21 time? Yeon-oh was curious, ee7f50b303 but it wasn’t 57e722f87b something he absolutely 743965e317 needed an answer 7bce25f59d to, so he 901fc395ee pushed the question 874c637be8 aside.9ea57256961aeea2

The coachman looked 5b5f3f2c6b between Yeon-oh and b16e1b6207 Yeshin, as if 9171552f2a trying to determine 847ddb27f0 the truth. When he saw 4e33c35d08 no objection on 3707b65728 Yeon-oh’s face, he 23d3c13398 seemed to realize 1ee79bcdec that Yeshin was c10cbeb0ef indeed accompanying him. But even then, he 736af8cacd showed no sign of 40fb3ceabb stepping aside. If anything were to 26672ea99d happen to Yeon-oh tonight, 1bb13e8ba7 it would be the 37ea621407 coachman who bore the 35cd1c1842 blame. His reaction was 43287a30bb understandable.43884a0ea05753fd

With the d779e868ac same rigid b4b5862ffb expression, the 2df776fc52 coachman firmly 1163ba9d06 repeated his 766f189ff9 refusal. Yeshin, watching this display, 4a225799a2 curled his lips into 6be3d0a0da a smirk and stepped 476b855a0d closer.a1b886999440feb4

The coachman instinctively f13a72bf6d took half a 1f547f2604 step back, but 4a63b088c8 he barely managed 44ee4e75c2 to stop himself e62823ace4 and planted his 1e02a6d572 feet firmly on cac99e461c the ground, lowering 9b6e491103 his gaze.e9d629c8b34b6c3d

“It’s mine.”75511e9cdd472943

The coachman had only 9fcb97d4ef blinked. That was all. Yet in that fleeting 15c5d71d6b instant, his body collapsed.662fc044cdfe3169

For Yeon-oh, 9a4da0b7f5 it was 7a513a5949 as if 22ec6f8b47 the whole 755114f697 thing had 80c7a66d85 been nothing 121a285a6f more than a21d4ead74 a hazy d2953fb748 dream. By the time he 59efbb22e8 blinked again, Yeshin was 3e8a14c2cf already catching the coachman’s a39e92abcd falling body and placing 75e22b0e2e him in the seat 504202b616 across from Yeon-oh.a8d7324ab7bd70fb

After finishing aa714d718f that task, 695d643442 he extended 1eab2cb775 a hand bbe3f9fb09 toward Yeon-oh. His smirking lips b78ff07223 remained exactly the 66f17f30c8 same as before.bfe071c3bd5037bd

Even though 68dbad930b they had 46ef0a1938 exchanged letters 3e17e43160 for some 290a5081c0 time, enough 0aad6f4d0a for Yeon-oh 102b0d6721 to think d90a232aed he’d grasped e5d90487ea a little ec2f07fc66 of Yeshin’s 18ae88a689 character, right 334eeb726a now, the 438904a861 man felt 203a37b199 like a 77f8b8b58a stranger.

Yeshin still 3589fdd6a5 hadn’t withdrawn aee7a52617 his outstretched 8ae2f56270 hand. Was it really 27e3c6589f okay to trust 56a7222f18 this unfamiliar man? Yeon-oh swallowed dryly and 25f5a68e97 looked into his eyes.9ca609c29f5bddd1

Beyond those bbb9e9d5ab long, dark 52f3a45127 lashes, his c8eefe6a24 irises glowed a414992e75 black as bb8c1cfdf0 ink. There was 2cd4f4398d no emotion 02ed36e495 in them.
