Translator: Atlas
Weekly Chapter 2/6
Why did it hurt so much? She didn’t know.
āIt’s easy to poison a blind man’s food, but you’re the only one who can get close.
As the last of her memories emerged, she experienced a chilling sensation in her veins. An aide, nibbling on a radish, hurled verbal ab#ses.
“You look like a whiny b#tch, I knew it from the moment you wagged your tail at Jihak! Besides, you should read books, but you’re just talking nonsense, Tsk!”
“Her sister is the biggest courtesan b#tch in Harye. And her father was killed because he har#ssed women. She can’t hide her lineage.”
“Anyway, don’t try to run away once more. In case you do it again, then I will tear your legs off!”
Eunha remained silent. They were not wrong. It was true that her sister was Harye’s best courtesan, and that her father was killed for that reason.
Nor would they believe her explanation.
“Why do you say that?”
“Who respects a courtesan? Don’t be noisy, just eat!”
She struggled to stop Gari. But no matter how hard she tried, in the end Gari threw a spoon and asked them to apologize.
“What are you doing!”
Kim came in to stop them. Kim, who looked at Eunha who was sitting with a tired face, clicked her tongue. Eunha comforted Gari.
She didn’t want to eat from the beginning, so she went back to her room.
Eunha slumped against the closed door.
At that moment she heard Jihak’s footsteps.
But the door to the room did not open. His footsteps moved away.
She pounded her chest with her fist. She took a deep breath. She wanted to forget everything, but the more she pounded her chest, the more frustrated she became.
Tears fell into her hand. Sister. No, she really wanted to see Jihak.
***
“Just as the assistant said, a woman approached Eunha that day.”
No sadness appeared on Jihak’s face. He was simply irritated that he could not sleep for several days when Eunha could not wake up.
“I understand.”
Yuljae looked at Jihak with a serious expression at his response. Although his face was pale because he couldn’t sleep, his eyes were even sharper.
“Someone could have approached her while she was escaping. Someone could have threatened her. I’m afraid that when she tries to kill me, I won’t be able to strangle her. ”
Yuljae helplessly lowered his head.
“Then kill her first. Or before that woman strangles you… I’ll cut her.”
“In that case I could cut your head off.”
“My Lord!”
Jihak got up to open the window.
It looked like spring would come, but the days grew colder.
He already knew this would happen. People who wanted to harm him would approach her.
He thought he wouldn’t mind if that girl was taken hostage.
But the day Jihak found her abandoned on the mountainside, the desire to kill anyone who touched her body tormented him.
He felt disappointed that he probably took the bait.
“What happened to what I asked you to do last time?”
His eyes followed Eunha who was running towards the backyard.
“I sent a letter saying we’ll visit them in two days.”
“Yes…make arrangements.”
Maybe she was going to receive a hidden letter?
He impulsively pushed Yuljae.
Jihak, having descended to the backyard, discovered her sifting through the items collected to be incinerated. What she found was the petticoat she was wearing that day when she was abandoned. Her eyes became sharp.
“What are you looking for?”
The surprised Eunha turned in Jihak’s direction.
Jihak firmly grasped her slender wrist.
“I asked you what you were looking for…”
“…I lost the dagger.”
“Dagger?”
“The dagger you gave me.”
Tears began to flow from Eunha’s face.
“I don’t know what I want from someone like you…”
