Weekly Chapter 2/4

Kim dashed into the yard upon hearing Gari’s screams. But she screamed again,

“What are you doing here? Speak up. You’ve caused Eunha so much trouble!”

Kim, who instantly stopped, approached Gari.

Then he slapped her.

“How dare you raise your voice! You might see me as shameless, but my rank is above yours! You must respect me!”

“Ah! But Jihak…”

“Shut your mouth! I should have scattered your limbs on that mountain!”

Kim slapped her again, but she could do nothing. Gari, who had fallen on her ground, covered her head with both hands. She began to cry helplessly.

“Save me! Stop! Ouch!”

Kim, in a fit of rage, struck Gari with a nearby broom.

It was all that woman’s fault. She was the reason why the Great Prince was blind, and the reason why the Great Prince couldn’t return to the Royal Palace.

“Stop!”

The person who took the broom from Kim tossed it a long distance away.

Kim, who was astonished, raised his head. It was Jihak who took the broom from Kim. Then Eunha ran to Gari, who was on the ground.

Jihak angrily grabbed Gari’s neck.

“You’re still breathing because I respect the Queen Mother….”

“Great Prince! But that woman…”

Kim’s face turned blue because Jihak was strangling him.

“Great Prince, Great Prince…”

“But you’ve gone mad. I don’t trust you anymore.”

“Have mercy. My Lord!”

Jihak looked at Gari crying in Eunha’s arms.

The Great Prince threw Kim towards the Shadows that had approached.

Kim began to plead for his life.

“Kick that guy out. I never want to see him again. This is my last consideration.”

“Great Prince! Heaven knows, earth knows! If you do this to me, you will be punished!”

As the warriors dragged Kim away, he started cursing with a pale face. Meanwhile, Jihak, who had just helped Eunha to her feet, covered her ears with both hands.

“That guy’s tongue is not necessary. Cut it off.”

Jihak held onto Eunha until Kim was out of sight. The attendants, who arrived late, took Gari away, and someone ran to fetch a doctor.

Once the commotion settled, Eunha took his hand.

The yard was empty. Now Jihak looked sad.

Eunha gently touched the corner of his eyes.

She didn’t know how to comfort him.

“I’m fine, Jihak. I’m fine.”

After combining the mugwort with the glutinous rice in the steamer.

A bitter scent filled the kitchen.

This was her husband Lee Hyungwoo’s favorite dish, so every spring Heein personally selected mugwort.

When she added other ingredients to it her husband would refuse to eat.

She looked forward to spring every year because she liked to see him happy. The year’s first mugwort had a delightful sweetness.

Heein, who ordered the pot to be cleaned, went to where her husband was.

“The Great Prince has come to visit.”

“His Excellency? Why?”
