Weekly Chapter 2/5

The rainwater trickling down from her gat hat blurred her sight. Eunha wiped the moisture from her face with her sleeve, then looked at Yuljae.

“Don’t you plan to answer me!”

“Who said that?”

“That doesn’t matter!”

She read his books even though he was not blind. He only pretended that he had gone blind because he had so many enemies. Now she could understand that he had used her.

That is why she received His Excellency’s favor. Everybody knew it. People called her a toy because they knew how he looked at her.

She knew everything, why did she want to hear a lie?

“I do not know My Lord’s intentions. You must judge for yourself.”

His gentle words blended with the patter of the rain.

“You are right.”

She smiled. Her shoulders were wet because the gat hat didn’t cover them.

“Eunha.”

Despite Yuljae blocking his path, Shihoon managed to give the umbrella to Eunha.

“I’m sorry. I guess I lost my head, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

Eunha coldly looked at Shihoon.

Then she stepped forward without bothering to open the umbrella.

“Warrior. There’s no time.”

Yuljae looked at Shihoon. Then the Young Master clenched his fists.

He took the umbrella from Eunha and opened it over her head.

“Thank you.”

“It would be troublesome if you caught a cold.”

“Thank you for letting my sister stay.”

He couldn’t see Eunha’s expression, but she wasn’t crying.

“What do you want to do?”

Eunha helplessly smiled.

“What do you mean?”

“I’m asking what your plans are once your sister escapes.”

“…Do I have the right to choose that?”

Eunha raised her head. Yuljae was curious about Eunha’s expression, but her gat hat hid it.

“Warrior, please help me exchange this money for jewelry. This money will be used for my sister’s travel expenses.”

The girl who typically cried acted in a puzzling way today.

Yuljae, who entered a store with the box, exchanged the money for the items.

Even though Eunha had saved this money for half her life, it was only enough to buy a double ring made of white jade. Yuljae then pulled out money from his pocket, which he used to purchase a hairpin adorned with a red gem.

He was drawn to the red lips of a woman named Yongi.

“I hope you will visit us again.”

“You must keep this exchange a secret.”

“Of course.”

Yuljae exited the store to find Eunha gazing at the rain.

“Let’s go. Your sister is waiting.”

She smiled. She seemed to have finally calmed down.

“Thank you, Warrior.”

Sir Song ran to Eunha as she entered the bookshop. As she sat down in front of the brazier, Yongi draped a thick blanket over her shoulders.

He had given Yongi a small room connected to the bookshop.

“Why that expression on your face? Did the Young Master perhaps say something odd?”

Sir Song lowered his voice when he noticed Yuljae’s countenance. Yongi stood up.

When he saw Yongi approach Yuljae, he grabbed Eunha’s hand.

“Eunha.”

“Please take this.”
