He took Eunha’s face with both hands. He remembered when she disappeared.

He was worried she might leave, and that fear was consuming him.

“How can you call him an illegitimate child? How dare you point out flaws to this baby? How could you even consider something so terrible?”

His fury turned to sadness. Jihak grabbed Eunha’s chin so that she could not move her head. Her eyes trembled.

“Did I scare you again?”

“…Jihak.”

“Answer me.”

“No, you didn’t.”

“That’s why I only saw your sleeping face…”

At last Jihak’s voice trembled.

Eunha placed her hand on his face, looking utterly incredulous. The wetness on her fingers was not an illusion. She needed to check it repeatedly.

“I was wrong, Jihak. I just want to be with you.”

“Why? I’m not right for you.”

“I like you. I like you, Jihak.”

He interrupted Eunha’s sobs. His hot tongue slipped between her open lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck, returning his kiss.

As their kiss intensified, her breathing grew more erratic. His little tongue tasted good. She didn’t want to stop.

His hand that caressed her head when she was asleep, his warm gaze when he saw her. And his worried expression made it impossible for her to keep her composure.

A large hand reached her breast. He massaged it vigorously. The moment a faint moan escaped her lips, Jihak parted his lips from hers.

When she opened her eyes, she realized he looked confused.

“You still have a fever.”

Jihak shouted Gari’s name before she could stop him. Soon the door opened. Gari looked at the two people inside.

“Take Eunha to her room.”

“Yes.”

Eunha quickly grabbed Jihak’s arm.

“I’ll go after.”

Gari then guided Eunha.

She was no longer in the warm bathroom, so she got goosebumps. Eunha looked in the direction she had walked. She couldn’t see him, but she was sure he would come.

Eunha touched where his hand had touched her. She felt a tingling in her chest. Then the hunger she had forgotten came back.

Her ears turned red as she looked at Gari.

“I’m hungry.”

As Yuljae stepped into the bathroom, the attendants who had filled the bathtub with warm water departed.

“Are you here?”

“Yes.”

Jihak stepped into the bathtub. The water overflowed. The Grand Prince was lost in thought, looking like a man in a trance.

Yuljae stood beside him in silence. Emissaries had been sent to the palace, so the King would definitely issue a decree. Jihak planned to use the army to completely eradicate the traitorous forces. But Yuljae did not know what he planned to do next.

Would Jihak stay in Harye?

“Please ensure that I am kept apart from Eunha.”

Yuljae’s eyebrows rose.

“Why?”
