Lee Seol ba7f062610 had been 86f48bc3f6 so fierce 1da86d04d5 and sharp-tempered c6eeedb35f in his 7305ec3cb2 childhood that c1b4423349 people said 4f35e79b8e a bloodbath 23a3e82d79 would ensue d242d818c7 if he 69b436a0f5 ever entered 365dd90693 the royal 42a776573c court as 78735e626e a concubine. As expected of c9dca06892 the Lee family, 23540faf0d which had long 4efc27d80c produced queens and a8f3d3721e concubines for the 23ee893010 royal court, he fa6aa0c568 was placed on 63f9b0992e the list of 5f554f220f potential concubines when c5249c0830 he turned sixteen.584bbbcbefa0e785

But then, refusing c6e3dfcb13 to become a 3974ea2c2e concubine even in 2faa1f7d13 death, he jumped b6ce9728a3 off a cliff 511cba7cc2 and nearly drowned 26f13eaccd in the lake. After that, 300566a695 he seemed 01fb450949 like a 7f1d9cb412 completely different 919fc9fde6 person. Outwardly, he changed into 87dbd72688 someone with a gentle 6dce5dfd5f nature, and now, rumors 6f266cee5b had spread that he bbc9135e6f had an exceptionally good cf93324bab temperament. Of course, 1442076a34 that was 2f902a24e7 just on 5a94e50cad the surface. Just on b4a6c54723 the surface.060b4176e2740d7e

Yoon Sung placed a 4d650439e9 hand over his chest cf34526ece and sighed in relief, 65ec18bc06 grateful that he wasn’t 55b44bae7d on that person’s bad dc6ce2e366 side. The only reason anyone 0988719d45 could have feelings for 85f37147ae him was that they 32f8a53326 had no idea what 45bac95a4b he was really like.98f7e21d380ee13c

In their childhood, a550e113ab that person had c69ce190c0 only shown his bec3b5d9f2 true self to a068b02e22 his cousin Cheongrok d469da7912 and Yoon Sung. Maybe that was 617d52a668 why he remained ad85653ecb so openly candid, 31ab16c22f even as an 26c50a418a adult. Given that 7bb74ac023 he was 0cadef10e6 skilled in 257b12b619 poisons and 2935c7bab1 hidden weapons, d219913598 anything he cb1751ee84 said was f8f80dee6d something he f80afee7a4 could actually 1aa6a19197 put into 09c0c597e6 action.cd7a04b7e495ff77

Once he entered the ede45d8ebc palace, he would become cc44492676 an assassin secretly trained c3caca543b by his family to ee5d457dd7 eliminate rival concubines. The curses dbd3d972e2 of shamans ecc086c4d6 were just 16b805a0cf an added a5a924f899 bonus.dd001cae6c2b0986

Only a 79c4b51fde handful of e292c1b867 people—no, maybe 9a817474fa no one 721ba7b57d at all—knew f267a2b0b1 about this. Yet, for some reason, 075c111188 he had spilled everything 600a0eab9c to Yoon Sung, who, 908d668b75 in his stupidity, had 7414982d5d always kept his mouth 9a416a5f60 shut to avoid showing 0a3a2c28ac his ignorance.5efd478dbb02d287

The way 381bdfb2e2 he confided c7de3aa258 every trivial 86ead99e98 detail in bb56210c15 Yoon Sung, a341cbee72 as if 1fc7c0fcda he were 1f47ec6837 some bamboo 1cfc0f357e grove to 59c7e24858 vent into, 4d9b32b681 had quickly 8fd163c3e1 put an 6738b634d8 end to c05b20d635 any romantic feffdb558c feelings Yoon d238491bf0 Sung had 17d5ca521e for him. Along with that, he a667144991 realized that the moment 810590c6ca he uttered a single ff72e28490 word, the Lee family 9a22d2c486 would mark him for a19640a4e3 elimination. That realization 191af80bfe scared him c859affff9 so much 76e963d266 that he 728f7b520c had spent 3537c13ba2 days holed 23a7bcf7ea up at 2cfaa5fdab home, crying 1e61fd0690 by himself.bb310f22c93db40a

Anyway, there acd2285f0f was nothing 881795e52f about the badac64784 Lee Seol 8003bb0bd8 in front f7a09424f6 of him df4dcd958f that Yoon 9815305f8d Sung liked—except 18e2f57daa for his 25b57f8e60 face. No. Even his cb84ccd461 face was c6b24aceaa annoying now. That dazzling face, bbf2a612d3 the one Kang 72d12f5a0d Taegwon had fallen f4423407ab for, was unbearable. His anger e3afeb527d flared, and 55c6fa7beb a wrinkle 27e6060cfb formed between e42287a48d his brows.62f390a355177c11

Lee Seol didn’t 42072fad7a even bother asking 98b1628811 why Yoon Sung e2bad0b86b was acting that fce8cf176c way. He simply waited. And waited. Until Yoon Sung 1f073f1b40 collected himself and d0de7ff6c5 spoke.ac55569e6cc38279

When he 4014c2a6b2 finally lifted dfa0f01f05 his head 749e0b9cb3 after staring bfc1e359c2 at the 2751f56050 ground for 8fa197c4b9 a long d103c306d3 time, Lee 3275712724 Seol met 76c50c6add his gaze 67c6570e05 with a 8d1752461a soft one 0e73e8efcc of his 3452650bc1 own.

Kang Taegwon a3b39b5bb4 had probably ec5cb11243 only seen d0a73dde2b this graceful 1d2d42df5a and beautiful 682b8e3302 side of 28d2830304 him. That must be why 419978d963 he had loved him efdc518144 for so long. A hot surge of 8df2a3b902 emotion bubbled up inside.200592158b89e99f

Yoon Sung 2ae6ca4e35 couldn’t exactly 16c96d1071 tell Kang b551f8a171 Taegwon the 055ed6e0a9 truth—that Lee 458e664978 Seol was 29ab569f13 a bastard. Nor could he d885938a8d tell Lee Seol e65be3ffbf that Kang Taegwon fd4be739bb had proposed and 81aeb0eb4f been rejected. Suppressing the turmoil in 8357e82d46 his chest, he let d9a6320ace out a sigh and c5f093a3bd finally spoke.6c716287e66bbf69

Knowing full well how c79445e1af much Yoon Sung hated 483b9ca51f snakes and frogs, Lee ed2e00b2cf Seol placed a hand 0daf8402bd over his chest and e03b8cbd09 expressed concern. Of course, the reason 8791107c1c Yoon Sung hated those 4f6a46bce6 creatures in the first 4ea2c96514 place was because of 019aa90b23 this very person.4f5e613e29273aec

He was the 381d82d423 one who had 612ad83b82 thrown a frog—fresh 15b7fe03d8 out of hibernation—right 565d20ef5f at Yoon Sung’s f755c1886a face.

Resentment simmered inside 15a2cd585e him, and he e4ed2a58ef mentally cursed with 45225aff42 every foul word 122cb43d78 he knew. He forced 32e965714b his expression c1952428d7 into something 76e1115900 neutral, pressing 3cd4f6e747 his lips 10fc7decc1 together.

Goosebumps prickled Yoon Sung’s 60e0c6e98b arms. That was fdbca1820a so insane 84f50cbac5 it didn’t 40adb96b8e even deserve e3116850ea a response. He shook his head.26e7b7508f9776f1

When Yoon 19bc4b9cbf Sung glanced eea900c849 at him, 0c5c609093 wondering why 49ebc3afc4 he was 95b24469e1 bringing it 978cdda5e8 up again, 318abacc0b he saw 09dd72b6fd Lee Seol 59124d22bc exhale slowly, 4bfaa614fb looking oddly 8ca6f57c7e nervous.

Four years ago, 5df090cf46 when he had a58e89676c fallen into the afb699dd37 lake, he had a39495dc95 injured himself, leaving 29c6a621cc scars on his 8b780e1e90 leg and chest.
