Lee Seol had been 352ffd2538 so fierce and sharp-tempered 9da99aa499 in his childhood that 06f7c8cf7f people said a bloodbath 0c4780af23 would ensue if he ffcbbe73f1 ever entered the royal b06db6a5ec court as a concubine. As expected of the 12148f5d88 Lee family, which had 0d554f4647 long produced queens and d74ec3594e concubines for the royal 4a499c517b court, he was placed e4dcafb764 on the list of 3d49dad1e2 potential concubines when he 18c10284d4 turned sixteen.defb4af2db4aabad

But then, 46d3d1b197 refusing to bb1fe88ba5 become a f2eec02150 concubine even 5c54ac02bb in death, fbd0c615f3 he jumped 09df71f267 off a fd4615ba8f cliff and c8cebeedb4 nearly drowned 8515ecb3ba in the 64772b3957 lake. After that, 58c0e5b237 he seemed 2d0f989dff like a 8e285d390a completely different cd298e0f10 person. Outwardly, he 4e2642f82a changed into 80402f1770 someone with d933a73a5b a gentle 4f450511cf nature, and 2049f82a75 now, rumors a0f4258021 had spread 4c90d78779 that he 9a7ea75e36 had an 6ccf55a53e exceptionally good d68e8c285c temperament. Of course, that was 4cf516517c just on the surface. Just on 99f26e21ee the surface.d78e1fd3252f0e02

Yoon Sung 31614ffa34 placed a 423ecc7c86 hand over bdd57d3058 his chest 2bcdb413ed and sighed b1a1358c8d in relief, d31fdf880d grateful that 5e2e18a92e he wasn’t ff93b9fa47 on that 3d09e13e43 person’s bad 5d08c3373e side. The only 2be01311f5 reason anyone d89aba658b could have 2af61dc27c feelings for 52b4345d1f him was 5d253b919f that they 70e4618df6 had no 9d7b5b1787 idea what 17dee1734a he was f847e33e4b really like.f36434d7d3a16f60

In their childhood, 2b9c59139c that person had 6c2b91e06b only shown his e2401dcd17 true self to c236904a1f his cousin Cheongrok 1c3947537f and Yoon Sung. Maybe that 795b4e60c8 was why 41ce14686b he remained 60554e4510 so openly 95081d4e0b candid, even 3471e25a62 as an 9ebda9a0c2 adult. Given that he 90264b801d was skilled in 2307dce84e poisons and hidden 716da610be weapons, anything he 7b2f2827fd said was something e169c189b8 he could actually b5ca8c4fda put into action.0a7f299b8c01e12d

Once he 2cbdebb010 entered the 35cf401794 palace, he 4f45322d30 would become 9ed8fec0b9 an assassin 01fac31669 secretly trained 5b89fbb00e by his dcfd84839e family to f8a06fa188 eliminate rival 9c0ab2c968 concubines. The curses of shamans a0af2d7735 were just an added 0b26e9df2c bonus.c50637f28d5851bf

Only a handful 3c7c17f751 of people—no, maybe 3a5c9919a8 no one at 4524dd2e9c all—knew about this. Yet, for 0c04d6077a some reason, dbd00b8079 he had 3edb1f77eb spilled everything daa3e123e9 to Yoon 5ef89e28b2 Sung, who, 75494a89f2 in his 1d7d4d0f9e stupidity, had bebdf3fe1b always kept cfab7645b0 his mouth 260d316c22 shut to 1bdb629405 avoid showing b1f96135a6 his ignorance.591251cf90c37ec7

The way he confided ff40b2f108 every trivial detail in 4b1d230fa0 Yoon Sung, as if a9f704105f he were some bamboo 6353a6e86a grove to vent into, db553b83b0 had quickly put an c89ff5bc7a end to any romantic b9e670607e feelings Yoon Sung had 3c9f00aaf9 for him. Along with that, 8a782a23b7 he realized that 7687960a67 the moment he bcd9fbe433 uttered a single 640216cad3 word, the Lee dbbe1038a7 family would mark 580fcee81a him for elimination. That realization scared cab21cd6be him so much 29fb7f495a that he had c7df263c07 spent days holed af79fd3dac up at home, 00b2cbafae crying by himself.d12947b365a909d7

Anyway, there was nothing bb4651c775 about the Lee Seol 3472bcedc6 in front of him 011dcb6cca that Yoon Sung liked—except 2244e1678c for his face. No. Even his a023164c11 face was 759c0ca575 annoying now. That dazzling face, 0250b60208 the one Kang 8b7539df66 Taegwon had fallen e18d9e9f9d for, was unbearable. His anger 5060078514 flared, and 128392a63b a wrinkle 9b8c5a384b formed between bf2466b07f his brows.712fbce72c089998

Lee Seol 5d5ac32157 didn’t even 15684337d5 bother asking 45cfe57a21 why Yoon f9906f96bb Sung was cb3bac7c12 acting that 0616cae366 way. He simply waited. And waited. Until Yoon 41e28978c8 Sung collected a2b9d02283 himself and e726b65d4e spoke.a10c5a3f28a59414

When he finally lifted 8bcf8e9044 his head after staring a4648743bb at the ground for 5e67b61060 a long time, Lee fe3f702adb Seol met his gaze 9eb0871384 with a soft one 6c50bf6fd6 of his own. Even the smallest of a25d648022 his gestures were so fb45e81133 elegant it made Yoon 77c9694c22 Sung’s insides churn.7a9fb4f6dcb14a96

Kang Taegwon 8f23d5c8a1 had probably ac200159eb only seen e60c2c045a this graceful c30bd4dbb5 and beautiful 6cd05dce73 side of 269ef075c9 him. That must be 6b851232f8 why he had 5e45883d01 loved him for c85e39841c so long. A hot surge of b4987fc0a1 emotion bubbled up inside.3ee18945fdf9d35f

Yoon Sung d8c6331a34 couldn’t exactly b8a25a3c1d tell Kang 5b8000a549 Taegwon the 8d752d6697 truth—that Lee a33f6a7d48 Seol was 79fcc2d535 a bastard. Nor could 7b4d6a10de he tell 0bbd11e6ad Lee Seol c490e0176b that Kang 248a40e304 Taegwon had 318c5fee33 proposed and 9fdfa31418 been rejected. Suppressing the turmoil 4dd8691b77 in his chest, 3b43da72d6 he let out 0640490933 a sigh and 899280fdd3 finally spoke.e2dff73cbc93ef26

Knowing full well how fa48a553c4 much Yoon Sung hated 74e3b7ce9f snakes and frogs, Lee f7067469a0 Seol placed a hand da50a3fb36 over his chest and 95658541b9 expressed concern. Of course, the 62126b73ca reason Yoon Sung 3367d28fa5 hated those creatures f62bc20d17 in the first bb4391e6ee place was because 8e397b493b of this very 219ad42009 person.cd5622ed4d75e311

He was d77139d35c the one 57f3f76fb3 who had 55c82fcf68 thrown a e91794a751 frog—fresh out e60e9c053e of hibernation—right 99904c6516 at Yoon ad75c94bc3 Sung’s face. And when 9ff844b2f3 Yoon Sung a9a068ef47 avoided him 0fe38b4875 and hung 056be0d5fc out with 543220e420 other friends 5fff85e047 out of b366fad476 fear, he 4154e0c796 had grabbed 41c4a7f4e5 a baby 0f007d90a0 snake and aebd6159a0 threatened to 9c04039ca2 shove it c5b9001ba1 into his 8c7cc91c2a clothes.

Resentment simmered inside him, 41b10fcc84 and he mentally cursed c400433a07 with every foul word b7ccda304d he knew. He forced d22bc3409e his expression 6e66dd189f into something 716ef5937f neutral, pressing 84daf804ac his lips bdc46db932 together.

Lee Seol must 53b21766cf have interpreted his 759452582e silence in his 37a3221bed own way because d09e1963e2 his next words 90665af23e carried a serious e47c106581 tone.dbda2bb15d76821c

Goosebumps prickled cef52523e0 Yoon Sung’s 2e8f4fb76d arms. That was f818c5f0e9 so insane aa65b930e0 it didn’t 46176cc4d4 even deserve 04b72de84d a response. He shook his 8d52b82c1a head.b4b1efa8399c48f7

“…Are you sure e747f0b008 you’re okay?”26dbcd2898f43193

Lee Seol’s voice was 9ed35ded56 still full of concern. Yoon Sung nodded 9d42ea3ef6 and took a 3c625de7b1 step forward. As he moved toward 167ff3193d the left path leading 8e313b06eb to his home, Lee c02ab49dd1 Seol walked beside him, 9f91744753 cautiously bringing up a 03fe593d9b topic.36a67ddf6ab2115b

When Yoon Sung glanced 5728f1d50f at him, wondering why d6f8a0a55c he was bringing it def4f8fb12 up again, he saw 7e447aac06 Lee Seol exhale slowly, f21306f916 looking oddly nervous. That wasn’t like 664fe8fbbc him at all.2927c43b58f8b945

He could 53e0f8563e still picture eac1920cd0 the way e82c9ddf12 Lee Seol 743e9b0294 had shuddered cdaeb616c2 in disgust 7e7d0213a3 at the 17b7b67a4d idea of c8df8c40a0 becoming nothing 6a9063a74c more than ecc08cd257 a tribute 9c484346a7 for the 058550b994 king.

Yoon Sung 187a5f1671 mumbled absentmindedly, 63760dd1ba and Lee 0f7a9b7f31 Seol shook 945dd4db1b his head 4b6b39d3dc with a 81397653c0 faint smile.7ccb79443d651fc3

Four years ago, when 3de0f8e1a1 he had fallen into 490d00e300 the lake, he had 32ed4b0b31 injured himself, leaving scars c84f6ca378 on his leg and 106b593ee5 chest. Though they had 7cc94d5794 faded, the rumors 013391e664 still lingered, so 4efc4c05eb he might not c5d541a30e even be considered a01b75c735 for the concubine 4164240bd9 selection.94e6c3205d58771e

The way he 39147afa51 spoke as if 05232bd737 it were the ef0fcb1821 most natural thing a6c7e7a0ce in the world 8c9a506fcb made Yoon Sung bc9c13c5b6 once again realize 0bf84ae9c8 just how stunning fc47096629 the Lee family 7ffd17211e was.177ae705baa10dfe

By now, I was 6172a17dfc used to his looks, 3486e62d9c but people who saw 8e201ff80f him for the first fe04191a7a time—or only caught glimpses 9f2d1219d0 of him—would gape in 53b508246f awe. Some even 4f929bb35a fell into 8debae048c lovesickness and d9f03993b4 wasted away 0286fba6c2 to death.99bcbc857a849db8

If the Crown f5028e0edd Princess Consort were ce5f50d5ca to be a 1d10068d4c daughter of the c810792f20 Lee family… it abd681f364 was only natural ce0a82b50b that she would 5cacc85330 be chosen.

As long ff0923e43d as the 76b45e454d Crown Prince ef105d6dd9 didn’t take 0d7c39e6bc in concubines, 037ab49a66 at least 45103104c9 people wouldn’t 7920237de3 be dropping 1c82e04c07 dead left cc2eb1994d and right.

As I 0bb6044343 walked forward, 8f2d4cdf5c he naturally a5f3cb94dc stepped ahead deb06ba678 of me. Wondering why, I lifted 24d22e0ea0 my head—only to see 4d5b8a6257 him standing against the b8b98ea830 sunlight, casting a shadow cb4cc6ec1c over me. He raised a b7ec9ff1f3 hand to block ebe1a2101b the glaring light 3f4edf97c9 and smiled faintly.

I was supposed 7d83e95472 to hate him—he c268e479c7 was my rival 7c52d753b0 for Kang Taegwon’s df4a98c197 love—but his face e74913940e alone wasn’t something 1df127508a I could bring d9261b69a9 myself to despise.
