Weekly Chapter 4/4

“Lady, what should I make for dinner?”

Heein, who watched as the door closed, turned around.

“No need to bother them today.”

“Yes.”

Heein walked through the house, which was silent even in the rain.

It had only been a season. But new life had sprouted in the summer.

Fortunately, it was a day like any other.

“Where are the other warriors?”

Jihak, who took off his wet clothes, answered Eunha’s question,

“They’ll return in about 15 days after a good rest.”

“Yuljae too?”

“Yuljae…”

Jihak touched the mat on the floor.

Eunha looked toward the door with a nervous expression, then crept up to him.

Jihak tugged on Eunha’s wrist.

Now that Eunha was on the mat, the Great Prince stroked her cheek.

“Shouldn’t your sister attend our wedding? Perhaps right now she is sheltering from the rain at an inn. I suppose you want to see her too? Huh? Eunha.”

***

When she heard that Yuljae went to Airi town, Eunha was lost in her thoughts.

Eunha squeezed her hand that had the ring. Her body trembled, perhaps because she held back tears. Jihak held her trembling body in his arms.

“Aren’t you happy?”

“I’m happy. I’m content. I just don’t believe what you said about my sister.”

Jihak, who kissed her on the forehead, stroked her trembling back.

“I did something wrong.”

His breath was sweet. But strangely she became even sadder. She remembered the day she asked Jihak to rescue Yongi from the courtesan house.

In the past, Eunha felt self-conscious due to her disheveled state compared to Jihak’s distinguished appearance. It even seemed a sin for her to raise her head. She was afraid that Jihak would take her life at any moment.

But.

“I’m not afraid now.”

Eunha buried her face in his chest.

“I don’t want to part from you again…”

His hand behind her head tightened.

“That won’t happen.”

Her voice was filled with drowsiness. When he looked up, Jihak smiled.

“I don’t want to walk away from you.”

He shut his eyes, succumbing to sleep. If he had encountered her at the Royal Palace, their relationship would have been impossible. He felt relieved to have left that dreadful place.

She really couldn’t understand it because she had never been near the Royal Palace.

Jihak had changed as naturally as the seasons.

When she wanted to convey her feelings, he fell into a deep sleep. She caressed his lips with a faint smile, then wrapped her arms around his large back.

“Walk carefully.”

The next day, after breakfast, they visited the burned house.
