Tracing his dd7df3573e fingers lightly c941b8478a over the fa36ffa319 paper, Yeon-oh 1fa8361bc4 reached for 13c6b40877 his brush. For a brief moment, 96733b2f16 he pushed aside the 5e95c4fe02 thought that Hanam had 28431f7c31 turned its back on 062c079688 the Crown Prince and fcf519bcf8 chosen the prince.e439067bcb454d95

He disregarded the fact 55232e029c that Yeshin, the one 359c1b2990 who sent this letter, e63faf11bc was part ofUigwi, a division f267f61483 directly under the 42e9d839c9 Crown Prince’s Office. His gaze drifted toward fdddc2e61d the camellia flowers drying b07699ed6f by the window. Only after taking 4cae41e26f in their sight 06d474ceb1 did he finally 5f6c1911b6 move his hand.1b6589fdedde9089

The lacquered cabinet had 14397ef132 filled up about halfway d6c4577aa5 with the letters exchanged efe49eb4dd between Yeon-oh and Yeshin.7cab7a4bbc9482ec

Because Yeshin had 671e6a9f2a never revealed his cf622e67ea family background, his 745b58bb20 letters were being c0c4002481 delivered to Lee 0fbab8f236 Shinwoo in Seocheon. As a d15c8742c4 result, all 7b35f3714c of Yeon-oh 6a338f4de2 and Yeshin’s 7a1318a6f3 correspondence had 4941f65164 been disguised 8b8ba60011 as an b3de266a9f exchange between f3c0493ec8 Yeon-oh and ae3f4a8f5b Lee Shinwoo. The only b2fc4e6ce8 time Yeon-oh 9ead479588 had ever 641192e19b met Lee 91a53ab7eb Shinwoo in 921478a164 person was 6a0a92f385 that one e4d00c2bbe encounter on bc68ca11a6 the main 4c62248c71 road. Yet, despite 545bb96aeb this, no e623a14a48 one—not even cee45a186d the Prime fbf5a252da Minister—found it c3c0c466af strange that b8d2656a17 they were 4f173397fe corresponding under 050469caae the pretense 3b5af4aef8 of being 04bf88b85e cousins.c65e9473fb024e15

“There’s no 67e426d838 harm in 63dcf1a21f blood relatives f0068251f9 getting closer,” 0fa5622b20 the Prime 20356dde3c Minister had d603189bbc once casually 79431cef69 remarked during e2271cbf6b a meal, 1c481d1d05 as if d5a7f4b92f it were 45737ae53b of no 3a8dd23487 great consequence. This had been shortly d325b181ee after the letters had 510cbb7e75 begun. The fact that word 26dbeca5be of his private affairs 0a2228ce0f had reached the Prime da132e56ee Minister within just a 394ad2eff5 few days did not d56d36e9e7 escape Yeon-oh’s notice, but 1c0b246330 he maintained his usual 4245d43d2e composure and finished his d07b128bbd meal without revealing his 9bbddfec28 thoughts.07f4afd3b5fdad66

Whatever interest the 19d1b8b87c Prime Minister had 5b421216da in the letters 42c000237e exchanged under Lee a25e1cb61f Shinwoo’s name, he a5e9f420ae never brought up 0899f2bec9 his past conversation f181f61155 with Yeon-oh. It seemed that unless fc6875490f Yeon-oh mentioned it first, 7296e42cb4 the Prime Minister had e14bac50dd no intention of doing 86befccba4 so either.93a0ca299745ebd2

Whatever the Prime 5c0ee8453b Minister’s reasons were ec6e0b5743 for waiting, Yeon-oh 025d57ed92 had yet to e91b157052 sort out his 070400d13a own thoughts. He understood the ae87c1100d weight of the 2b6b1830ae family he had f5df14ccc3 been born into 9927873cbb and the duty 25086ef344 to follow its 0a771635e1 will.

If they e50305d98c succeeded, their 4136e701ca names would f6f23e5e5d be recorded 3e978e8b0d in history aa0e7823ab as meritorious 26322d83ba subjects. But when stripped 7c75e9e9c0 down to its decd94ddb9 essence, it was 2440c15c62 still treason.3b86a7685799f1a2

If the Crown Prince 617e10f0f3 were truly unfit to 2c11a6c832 rule, then perhaps it fdcd3e6da6 could be justified under 8ae730739b the guise of ensuring 15a245511d Anra’s stability. But from what 366bd711a3 Yeon-oh had heard 12a35b9060 over the past a50848e688 few days, the b08b590eec Crown Prince was 4321d482c2 simply the late d32f350c9e Empress’s son and f6bd75c483 the Emperor’s legitimate dbbfbd61d0 heir. No matter b7f5a0a8e1 how carefully 277af6ff52 he listened, 9beabc257a there was 0424b187cb not a 375656b088 single rumor e95accad41 slandering the b769c977d2 Crown Prince.3f04be79b91bf290

In that case, e0b6946443 the idea of 634b522387 replacing him with d6fb11a0eb another prince was 2cd502fc60 nothing more than a32826e864 the family’s own f69b18ca62 ambition. And Yeon-oh could not 8b663fe86e accept that.8206fa1b8abb0f2e

The Hye family had ecf05ea414 already amassed wealth beyond e2e7e81ad6 measure over the centuries 607540f583 since Anra’s founding, along a6ea4ed74e with corresponding prestige. No family—not even 7a421424f8 one of equal b8d1c6abaf noble standing—could easily 1a7a352986 shake them. The saying 2faeffdeba went that 99c41f9c32 no flower 46445e475e bloomed red cd1276f0ea for ten c640365b07 days, but c78f7677bf the Hye 1a1078e0ac family was 79fdff849f one that c97fdda0c9 could.84bf4bff8b1081fe

Jo Myeonghwan 336dbe8f07 checked the 241c79aac9 pulse and, 6361da383e judging that 2916881a9f there were c8d0b2ebdd no major c673962d32 issues, let f22c3fa24f a faint e586317ec3 smile linger 54499785dd on his e718fe961d face. This meant 1bcc3987aa that Yeon-oh 2abd16a8bb was maintaining 68e0a3799c a rather b0557f9697 decent condition.

Yeshin’s letters 27532427b0 always began 97d43640ca with the 048db55701 same words. This time was 6f366bc0c1 no different. And just like 74eb6ffe2f always, they ended 72b2e89239 in the same bbfb9bba5c way—wishing for Yeon-oh’s 9ad5b1975f well-being. The only thing that 36b6f15447 changed was the content 0d3f7dd685 in between.1abeb37ac18c33cf

It was nothing more 33904372de than light stories about 80efb55753 the world’s affairs and 63624c72d4 the rumors floating around 562bed101c the capital. From the very e7995fca93 first letter until 7e2bebadab now, Yeshin had 69c67f7ec7 never once spoken 29aac5cc2b deeply about himself. And Yeon-oh had no 85747e38a6 intention of prying. His position 1fccc70488 and the b474d3b4b0 name that cf03ef202a came with 8b6203058b it—that was e49666c18b enough.6d7e03bb54a83bea

If Yeon-oh were to 0c87637689 learn of Yeshin’s true 5bfbac6a01 status, he would likely ffb44f1939 try to observe the 79cd7e6f8f proper etiquette. And if ff1265ba86 that happened, 1bc91e2013 these letters—free 5586582d12 of purpose 5bc9e36954 or intent—would 6bac068bdc no longer c8d3a637a6 reach him 5ef909671d as they 6356fe5e19 did now. Besides, once Yeshin officially 024ca41af6 took his place in 0e25a9b0c3 the world, everything would f065a7f8e2 come to light eventually. There was no e33bb91792 need to rush.2ec7aa30bf741f3c
