Weekly Chapter 1/4

Last night they didn’t eat because they fell fast asleep. When they opened their eyes, they laughed absurdly. But it had been a long time since he had slept so sweetly. He no longer needed to keep a sword close while sleeping, fearing someone might strangle him.

Jihak also visited Heein early in the morning to tell her about the events that had transpired. Heein simply listened quietly to what he said.

Even if he was destined to live his whole life with blood on his hands, he wanted to protect his wife and children. Eunha had become his world.

Jihak asked his sister to prepare for the wedding.

Heein hid her tears. There was no reason for her to refuse.

Now all he had to do was ask Eunha where she wanted to live. Jihak could live anywhere in Joseon because he was confident that he could protect her.

—I want to establish my life in Harye.

Her answer was unexpected. He thought she would choose a place near her sister.

He asked her why she wanted to settle in the town she had wanted to leave so much.

—It’s my hometown. It’s also the place where I first met Jihak.

Moreover, she had developed an affection for people like Sir Song. But the only thing that remained in Jihak’s ears was ‘the place where I first met Jihak.

“It will take quite some time to build a new house. It might not be finished even by the time the baby arrives.”

Eunha watched as the trees needed to build a new building on the vacant lot arrived. She nodded with a happy expression.

“Where will we stay until the house is built?”

“There’s an empty house.”

“An empty house?”

A willow leaf fell on her head. After he removed the leaf, Jihak looked around the site, which was filled with workers.

“It’s not very nice. It’s smaller than this house. It will take some time to fit it out. I guess I’ll need my sister’s house for a while longer.”

“Where is the house?”

“You know that place.”

She suddenly remembered a person.

“Young Master Shihoon’s house?”

Jihak smiled slightly. The sunlight cast shadows on his face.

“After getting married, he left for the capital. If you don’t want to, I’ll find another place.”

“Lord. It’s not that I dislike it…”

She knew the relationship Jihak had with the Defense Minister, Yoon Jongshin.

“For how long do you intend to call me Lord?”

Her face turned red as a ripe apple.

Her reaction seemed adorable to him. That’s why he kissed her forehead.

She heard surprised exclamations from all directions. Jihak’s affectionate behavior surprised the people present.

However, the boss quickly shouted at them to focus on their work.

Then Jihak put his arm around Eunha’s shoulders.

He would leave this place in the architect’s hands, then visit Yoon Jongshin’s property.

How might the Defense Minister respond if he requested him to sell the house? He could not forgive Yoon Jongshin, who had kidnapped Eunha. Even if it was revenge because he lost his daughter, he should have pointed his sword at him.

His only regret was that he wanted to use her as bait. But even if he turned back time, he would have made the same choice. However, he would love her even more, hold her even tighter. Jihak would not allow her to run away from him.

He had no regrets about falling in love with her.

“Excuse me…”

While they strolled to the shelter of a tree, she softly spoke into his ear.

“I want to go somewhere with you.”
