Weekly Chapter 2/4

“You are not an ordinary person.”

“It doesn’t matter. Request anything you wish.”

“I’d like to call you my husband after the wedding. I feel embarrassed.”

“I can’t believe you still experience embarrassment.”

She was happy, then embarrassed. Jihak hoped that when he went blind, the last thing he would see would be Eunha’s smiling face.

“You’ll likely be embarrassed for the rest of your life. I guess it won’t change even if you have many children. Your apparent heart disease will never be cured.”

A wisteria blossom gently brushed against her round forehead, filling her senses with its sweet fragrance.

“I’ll locate you even if I can’t see. I’ll trace the beat of your heart, so for your entire life, your heart should pulse solely for me.”

The wisteria flowers swayed in the wind.

Soon it would be the wedding.

“Did you hear the news about the wedding?”

The pharmacist commented while glancing down the unusually crowded street.

The herbalist replied,

“It’s odd to think that the girl who hiked the mountain with me is now getting married.”

“It seems she is destined to wed the Great Prince.”

Deokbae, a woodcutter, laughed open-mouthed.

“That’s irrelevant. Word is, he’s blind. That’s why he’s marrying her.”

“But I’ve heard he’s so refined, he resembles a hermit descended from the heavens.”

“His nature is ruthless; that’s why Harye is perpetually plagued by bloody conflicts.”

“I can’t believe anything you say. Last time the Defense Minister…”

The herbalist fell silent upon noticing the two individuals walking past the pharmacy. It was Yoon Shihoon with Sohyeon. He had gone to the capital after getting married.

The Defense Minister rode in a palanquin.

The chess players unconsciously paused their game.

“Is today really the day?”

They asked the pharmacy owner, confused,

“What day?”

“Do you remember the Crown Princess?”

“Yes. She died young.”

“I guess it’s her death anniversary. Maybe they came to drink.”

Everyone nodded.

Shihoon, who noticed Harye’s strangely excited atmosphere, stopped a scholar.

“What’s going on?”

“The Great Prince is getting married. The news travels slowly.”

“The Great Prince?”

Sohyeon, who grabbed Shihoon’s sleeve, whispered softly,

“He will surely marry Eunha.”

Sohyeon, who looked at the palanquin behind her, continued her way. Yoon, once the Crown Princess, now faced the treatment of a commoner after her death.

Yoon Jongshin’s grief was so profound that it was beyond words. Everyone had gathered in Harye today because the Minister of Defense planned to offer alcohol at his daughter’s grave.

“Husband.”

Shihoon, still in shock from the news, raised his head.
