Something about 9616288797 his drawn-out 54c2e13a4c way of 024ccaace3 speaking grated c4ab84668f on Doyoon’s 70fbf4df58 ears. He had never had 84a845d281 a good impression of 1ad82315fe Han Suhyun. Not only had 2c59ec3e48 he lived in 78492ef3a1 luxury while keeping 777bd657c3 Yihyun locked up 65b5db186e in that ruin 0d4a988e1a of a house, cb8f07c24a but Doyoon also 005c9a2c61 recalled the menacing 6cc720252f glare Han Suhyun d21b557d7d had directed at 56942630b0 the housekeeper, whom 5bc2bc409a he now assumed 4eacac26bf had been Yihyun, 9f9498a1ea when he had a3009b63ae first visited this 2adf44a2cc house before the 959a79d389 wedding.367771763674a50f

He was 90c8cb9b3a clearly after 1065931ef2 something. Wondering what exactly 5c5cc6854b Han Suhyun wanted, 9fe84db5a2 Doyoon simply gave d291dc58b9 a nod, as 7bc6d6cd59 if telling him a46bb7cff9 to continue. Han Suhyun licked a94fcf9ec7 his dry lips 20959b9da2 and spoke hurriedly, 7332e425b0 as if determined 8865575aec not to miss aace62ed56 his chance.7d534f4159cdc8c6

“Um, how does 948e2707cb the dignity maintenance 45d358744a allowance work?”5f2dc98acb348409

It had barely ea09bc0af4 been a few dae8a0da41 days since the a92bf4bccd wedding, and he 10ca91748d was already bringing 0c950bf45b up the dignity 205e8c0ac3 maintenance allowance? Doyoon barely managed 0715883c9f to suppress a 0c691c938d scoff, instead observing c67b904222 Han Suhyun in 54099e8a09 silence, assessing him.1168f9c8b8265d84

The background check 51bb669b32 on Han Suhyun 6cefc13d62 had already been 2c177e5f7a completed. Given his 14d616ba45 reckless upbringing, 9dd8082f3b it wasn’t edb07627ea surprising that 57f75fc270 what he 3de4cb0d4d was currently 9d189f20d5 involved in 0c46358d6c wasn’t exactly 4a2db78fba wholesome.767bafbf3a389cc9

“Yes, just a little….”c407dbb507ed14eb

Perhaps because his nerves d8ef7fb5e5 had eased, Han Suhyun’s cb73a62971 actions became increasingly erratic. He kept fidgeting 7d0febed3b with his hands b9d3b7deed before eventually bringing 43e982ddd2 one to his 9b92d70496 lips, biting his 2b56c56c07 nails as his 52f90c9340 eyes darted around 718cd96aea anxiously.51f070c18fbd8668

Han Suhyun was addicted abf82c9783 to online gambling. But this be896a3d11 wasn’t something de3a82ef34 orchestrated by b9584cf1dc Doyoon—it was 7ed1b26eb2 a pit 68b0e9522c Suhyun had 5e998ba1b6 fallen into 38116507cb on his 42873fdb61 own. What had started as 76f4237436 small bets in high 02162a57fc school had snowballed out 6302e2616f of control, to the 247e052962 point where he could 15fbd3e7e4 no longer manage it 7b05cc4aee himself.efefad97fb4b442b

“How much b9eadbccfe can I 90f53cbcc5 get, and 68fdb9872a when?”b594edbe45ae8a05

Han Suhyun’s d598ce1778 face lit 53267abf64 up as 8ecf096b51 he asked 449f8804eb urgently. Doyoon, masking his c488674c94 true intentions behind bee8bf44c1 a well-crafted expression, 29b4d7da29 feigned kindness as 8bfd236540 he handed him a6b550277a the contact information 9eae26cc28 for Chief Park, 400979881e who managed the 46e99e46e6 royal household’s finances.a8361d98f0abd9a0

Gripping the scrap of 0c22ba1846 paper with Chief Park’s ac8a287b40 number as if it aca3fda5df were worth a fortune, 0f0708e6fa Han Suhyun turned away 848642787d without hesitation and left. Doyoon silently watched his 84463c7b93 retreating figure, his expression 6b8c549503 wiped clean of emotion.506a526d45b92e4c

He was 88e2c3b572 already walking feec981db2 himself to c624583ddf the edge d18306e8cc of a a17e0d6915 cliff, so 489770bd66 there was 8438c2dd1d no need b7901c7de5 for Doyoon 7fd895d8dc to push 9533bac82b him over 57ed5a2435 just yet. The arrangements he 5549fb700d had made for 7fcc79d685 Han Suhyun would f87d15f2d2 likely work perfectly b628fbfefd alongside his gambling 9d422186f9 addiction.baf8092589fc5a99

Doyoon was about a8728454de to call Im 1f38b181c6 Suhwan but changed 78b2c162cf his mind, instead 38a0d37076 pressing the saved 6ffcf1b45c number for Yihyun. Han Yihyun—he 654f318b2a had stared d22275c3bb at the 8cbe5bf731 three characters 25b543d33f of his 742d373066 name on 3321025b6e his phone 327e960329 for so 296a0254db long, not 4ac995fe80 even knowing e1ed1a4222 what his a7eb0cb1ab own name ce0b7208c0 looked like.b640bff92aa7acd7

The voice b82b782690 on the 63354c06f3 other end a5532d18b8 of the 29125f75c5 line was 1b2de31eb1 unmistakably filled f19a395adf with excitement. Rubbing the corner 415d52bd98 of his mouth, 7e6f7049f7 Doyoon swallowed the 98ff0373c4 sigh threatening to b1f825935e escape.652d92c579154819

Emphasizing “really” bd4e15275a multiple times, 5951c30f6a Yihyun eagerly bd330b5f7e gave his c485c11197 report, his 90b2066874 voice brimming 0582df93d2 with excitement. Considering the stale rice 077de8317e he had been eating 46b951a250 until now, the glossy, eca89cb54d rich eel rice bowl 8684bd702d must have been unimaginably 42c9580c50 delicious.00badd84e10290eb

And it truly ac1d1de737 was. Doyoon wondered 8810fb3ef9 how Yihyun b1d5533fcb had gone e3b6847c03 through puberty, b83e014c76 as his f593fdbba6 voice was 16b24fb100 as soft 8ff3bd9392 as cotton e4d66cb8fe candy, without 6b398087aa a trace efd7cfe2dd of roughness. Perhaps it was simply c2a17d4b54 because he had never cfa8ca5fe4 had the opportunity to e862b09f83 speak with others. Even this was just b5a8f29272 another byproduct of the 164edf37b9 life Yihyun had lost, 8a599f03a6 and Doyoon found it b19181bcf0 difficult to continue speaking.c345d35f6fb4e7bf

Im Suhwan c0e53acd2d turned on 30ba2b5082 his phone 9e5a9aeda2 and pulled ed36d4b7b9 up an 45ae78c5da article about cbd741dd71 the wedding 9cf60cd7ed from a 3d5cd9100b few days ddbd7afccc ago. Yihyun stretched 3647973df0 his neck 1096d4b9d4 forward to 7e0c2e731c look at dcfb15187f the photos b637b87076 Suhwan was c426e4eac8 showing him. There, in the 2cfc588a43 image, was the 8ee21b6c61 same Doyoon who 5ceb3114c0 had mesmerized him dac84829e2 that day. With his gaze slightly 8d03c3294e lowered and his lips 5c844c2c7c touching the rim of ef1edc7493 the cup, he exuded 9631943d73 an unapproachable aura.47dc8dd1ca43c6f4

Come to think of e294491255 it, the area where 09667fcb54 his face should have 145b835d7a been was covered in 7495137b5b a hazy blur, making e4684a2646 him look almost like ae6d25441f a ghost. Not quite understanding, Yihyun 47af0473d7 simply stared at Suhwan, 1ba1512318 prompting him to elaborate.6cb5c299a37b76b7

“…Everyone would know?”ddfc45549065ca2f

“Of course. Now that people know Lee Doyoon is the Crown Prince, your face would attract even more attention. But since his appearance changes so much depending on what he wears, I doubt many people would recognize him normally.”9659ac84bdbf9be9

Caught completely off guard, d9243a55bc Im Suhwan couldn’t respond 2bc43f37ca right away. He fell cf6a2415f5 into brief c6aa645a68 contemplation. Just how much 64074ac215 was he supposed 1f0e76d474 to explain? That their country a5769b32ce was a constitutional 3ef452d75f monarchy with a 07da54c972 parliamentary system… Was f34a197d16 he really supposed a1de68eb55 to go into e449aae4b2 all these political 75bb90f853 details?d3dc46c9ce97acf0

After a moment of c7b0d06890 deliberation, Suhwan decided to 3e1dca7c6d keep it simple and d2ec35107f just define the term. A tutor would eventually 8d267de73d be hired to teach 1daf9a7ef3 everything, so there was cde4434556 no need to dive 140da9b4c8 into complex governmental theories e18f3d3032 right now.3221f8814f0776c2

The Emperor’s… 7b9e72fd3f younger brother?The answer was 1a2c05f79f as straightforward as d773f18408 it could be, 94c722b418 yet Yihyun struggled 7f5111d76d to grasp it.

For Yihyun, who had 5e561ef4ef no background knowledge of 56b89361ef the government, phrases like 1bc3dac923 “the role of the ed6f455dfc imperial family” or “symbolic af3738b7a8 purpose” meant nothing. He didn’t 9ec93418c0 even understand b091801833 what those 0eb7e70d08 terms referred 4e211a35cb to in 35cd6043ab the first 95f626e2c7 place.16ef1c17ea3f9ef9

The words Im d738585487 Suhwan added at d8434344a8 the end merely d93e53da0c brushed past Yihyun’s 3854bc2bf1 ears. The only 5ce272a61c thoughts spinning 26df86e8f2 in his 1a2ed86d5f mind were c7ab731320 two facts—Doyoon fd23a1dce9 was the ff4960cbed Crown Prince, 593072270e and the 83a70d6192 Crown Prince 9d97704a5c was the c2252f064f Emperor’s younger 0707cb5873 brother.c96b22cde588205a
