Three years had passed since SeoMoon had split into Ju.

During this neither short nor long time, various provinces in SeoMoon gradually collapsed. In contrast, the provinces in Ju flourished, so the gaps between the two countries grew wider with time.

“They told me that Unnie is searching for marriageable men.”

Once SoYoon had reached of age, she began to receive offers of marriage.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Although MoonWon’s family had collapsed, because her husband was Heon, the man with the Emperor’s confidence and the titles of royal adopted brother and Duke MyungHyun, many wanted to create ties with the family. Therefore, they were drowning in marriage offers and correspondence.

MoonWon told SoYoon that she’d find her a reliable and kind husband, but she couldn’t bring herself to be happy when she heard the news.

“I said I’m getting married!”

“Good for you.”

Standing in front of the fuming SoYoon, Hong-yeom replied in a cold voice.

When she saw how calm he was, SoYoon’s body began to shake with anger.

Three years had already passed.

Even though he didn’t dislike her, he never showed her his true feelings.

She was trembling with dread at the thought of marrying an unfamiliar man, but Hong-yeom was calm and didn’t seem bothered at all.

“You bad, bad jerk!”

“Step back and objectively think about our difference in status, my lady. And I haven’t done anything that makes me responsible for you.”

Hong-yeom didn’t know what to say to her counter-argument. His eyes trembled, but his mouth remained shut. His calm, steady demeanor from before was completely lost.

However, he couldn’t let himself be swayed by SoYoon here.

“That’s not it!”

“Then what is it?! Are you saying it’s okay for me to marry another man?!”

Hong-yeom’s face hardened at SoYoon’s provocation.

Because he knew things would end up like this, he hadn’t wanted to start anything with her. He never expected there would be someone other than MoonWon who could make him waver like this.

SoYoon was going to enter the embrace of another man.

Although his stomach churned and he was filled with rage, he knew these feelings would settle with time.

“I’m leaving.”

Nothing would change anyway.

Even if she was the daughter of a servant, half of SoYoon’s lineage was from nobility. To someone like her, his existence would only bring her trouble.

Now, all that was left to do was to go their separate ways. Hong-yeom turned around without looking at SoYoon and began to briskly walk away.

“Wai… Wait! I’m not… Ouch!”

SoYoon began to recklessly run after him when she suddenly let out a shout.

Hong-yeom didn’t have to turn around to know that she had tripped. If he turned back now, it would only prolong the inevitable.

Hong-yeom closed his eyes and began to walk again. However, before he could take five steps, he bit his lips.

“Damn it.”

How nice would it be if she wasn’t clumsy and did well on her own like MoonWon? Why was she so clumsy that she always made him nervous and concerned?

“Are you hurt?”

Hong-yeom brushed off the dirt from SoYoon’s skirts and looked her over. Thankfully, she didn’t look like she had any injuries, but when she fell, she had lost a shoe.

Hong-yeom helped her up and picked up her shoe.

After brushing off the dirt from her shoe, he placed the shoe in front of her feet.

“If your leg hurts or if you think you sprained something, let me know. I’ll go and get a doctor.”

“Should we run away?”

Hong-yeom was about to put her shoe on her foot when he suddenly lifted his head. Although her eyes were wet with tears, her gaze was calm and steady.

Gazing at her, Hong-yeom awkwardly scratched his head.

“Please stop crying like that.”

He hated it when women cried.

But whenever SoYoon cried like this, he felt like he was going to go insane with concern. Whenever she cried, he never knew what to do.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have associated himself with her. But this was a lame excuse. He knew that things would have turned out like this anyway.

“Even though it’s difficult now, it’ll get better.”

After putting the shoe on SoYoon’s foot, he murmured a hollow consolation. He didn’t know who he was trying to console.

As the day marched on, it began to rain.

“SoYoon has disappeared?”

After playing with Yuha all day, MoonWon had just put him to sleep. She narrowed her eyes at the report she was given. The SoYoon she knew would never leave the residence without a word. 

“Has she just gone out for a short walk? SoYoon is rather quiet, but…”

“They said that all her belongings are gone and the closet is empty.”

MoonWon’s heart sank. After leaving Yuha with Yeori, MoonWon ran to SoYoon’s bedchamber without bothering to cover herself from the rain.

Nervously pacing back and forth in front of the room in the pouring rain, Yuhwa looked up when she saw MoonWon and rushed over.

“Mistress, SoYoon…!”

SoYoon had never acted out in her life, so this was very shocking. Of all the times this could be happening, it had to happen when Heon was not in the bamboo grove. MoonWon’s vision went dark. What if she had been kidnapped?

However, no one here would ever do something like that to SoYoon.

Now wasn’t the time to stay still. The rain was starting to come down harder, and the sun would set very soon.

She didn’t want to burden Heon with the matter regarding SoYoon. She wanted to fix this before Heon came back. MoonWon called for Yusun.

Hong-yeom was completely drenched in rain and entered SoYoon’s room. The person on his back was definitely SoYoon. When Hong-yeom paused, SoYoon climbed off his back.

“Hong-yeom, wh…”

The moment she saw the two of them, MoonWon didn’t have to ask.

When Hong-yeom met MoonWon’s eyes, he closed them. He hadn’t wanted to disappoint her like this.

If it wasn’t MoonWon, he didn’t know if he’d still be alive. He received so much from her and would never be able to repay her during this lifetime. But he had repaid her like this.

Unable to take this any longer, Yuhwa shouted at SoYoon. SoYoon looked up at MoonWon. The teary-eyed and brazen SoYoon was nowhere to be seen. SoYoon’s eyes were determined as she stared at MoonWon. Then she bit her lips.

She wasn’t sure about anyone else, but when it came to MoonWon, she knew she shouldn’t act like this. She knew how peaceful her life had been under MoonWon’s care and protection.

“Yuha is still young and won’t know any better.”

He didn’t ask her what she was going to do or if she was okay, but that was why she felt that she could lean on him even more. While Heon was away, countless thoughts went through her head. If it was her own problem, it wouldn’t have been this difficult. But this was about SoYoon.

“No, I’m not bothered by Hong-yeom’s status or SoYoon’s situation. That’s really not the case.”

MoonWon pulled away from Heon and let out a deep sigh.

She had spent a long time debating what to do, but in the end, she always came back to one answer. The problem wasn’t whether her decision was the correct one. It was the fact that so many problems would arise afterwards.

“If SoYoon takes Hong-yeom for a husband, I’m fine with it. I think I’m okay with that. One of them is my precious little sister and the other one helped me through so many hardships while I wasn’t with you. If I could, I’d like to smile as I give them my blessing. But…”

“SoYoon is the daughter of a concubine, and Hong-yeom doesn’t have any status. In addition to that, he carries the stigma of being blue-eyed. It doesn’t matter to me, but there will be many people around them who will point and stare at them.”

SoYoon was especially sensitive, so she might not be able to handle it. However, MoonWon couldn’t shake off the image of SoYoon firmly declaring that she’d marry Hong-yeom. If they both wanted this marriage, MoonWon wanted to give them her blessing.

Although he knew he should stay composed, his body began to tremble and he felt like he couldn’t breathe. However, Heon’s piercing words weren’t wrong. Even though Hong-yeom had feelings for SoYoon, the reason why he hesitated was for this exact reason.

He could not burden SoYoon with a marriage to the family’s servant. Not only that, but Hong-yeom was also blue-eyed.
