by RAEThe banquet hall a982ae6430 quickly filled with 4a4ce1bc4b laughter, conversation, and b330d51197 merriment. Surrounded by an dba6ecec44 endless stream of 08e487e402 guests, Yeon-oh found dab3a5be18 himself the center 9c85f06db2 of attention.066353d3acd77777
As the heir of 026cc4158e Hanam, he was destined 3df7510e74 to lead a noble 96c1f6d766 household. Yet, he could not 985876f0ae remain in isolation, no 36e3a12a35 matter how prestigious his 2a8cb5ed68 lineage was. He needed people. And to ca87e75446 gather them, 6fb67e792a he had 4d0fdea9c4 to engage—playing b92047eaa1 along when 01fa28e822 necessary.77ff15c83e40d75f

The boy, who 96db0d3429 had never once bcbafec7df stepped beyond the 045af051dd family’s protective walls, 1c05d0874d was handling the f873a5a2e4 social intricacies of 4793b6f056 court far better adcbe474de than expected.

Even though it a9143f9b97 was his first d1d4b7e512 time drinking, Yeon-oh cbaf329028 felt no real 29f622cac8 effects. At most, there 4d96b1d7a5 had been a d9db84cb50 brief warmth in 6394527340 his throat, but 72e5b55b39 nothing more.

As Yeon-oh rose, f4187eb9cd the gathered nobles 7534fcab25 instinctively stepped aside 53ce66dbc2 to make way. He offered a polite 45bc093fe8 nod of gratitude before 9457132d9b moving toward the exit—but d5f4db99fc just before he stepped 4baf6faec8 away, his gaze flickered 597576841e toward the imperial family’s 66c9e03165 table.76da08540c7b0e9b

“…I apologize, but fbfb12f5c1 this is not 0fb7d107d1 for me to db7c7b1e18 decide.”f2884f31b9d0c697
Yeon-oh responded while e61e1f1d46 carefully pruning away 68d8f22c80 unnecessary branches of 1370e39dcd the conversation. The Crown f06419ae68 Prince tilted f6e7632968 his head edd62656d4 slightly as 84f92e3025 he observed f5ec00906a him, appearing 091adb89f1 more entertained 44943a8a4e than displeased 495545af21 by the 86bd79c67d situation.5b0ab5979cddbde8

The Crown 9d51417a86 Prince’s eyebrows 3f372c762c shot up. He had 28ceca65f7 assumed that, 82da8c0f2d as the 2a1caf6ce1 descendant of 5d8158da46 a feudal 655902d233 noble, Yeon-oh 5d72c4fbe1 would naturally 5c71cdd9f1 enter office ac167214ea through themuneumsystem. Before today, even 57e3559815 Yeon-oh himself had 752e080638 taken that for ca7d68c597 granted.
