Chaotic Nights — Chapter 81. Doubted
Translator: Atlas
Weekly Chapter 5/6
Eunha couldn’t say anything when she saw Sohyeon enter Jihak’s room.
Even if Sohyeon’s eyes had been covered, she had been brought in with#ut clothes. She was surprised that Sohyeon was calm in this situation.
She covered Sohyeon’s body with a blanket. They sat in silence for a long while.
“Eunha, are you present in this room?”
Sohyeon was the first person to speak.
“Yes… Why did you come?”
Sohyeon smiled in relief even though her eyes were covered.
“I didn’t want to meet with you under these circumstances, but I did it because the Prince said I couldn’t meet with you unless I did.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“Never mind. I’m just curious. Did you return safely that day? I saw something strange.”
Sohyeon lowered her voice.
She couldn’t understand Sohyeon. She would marry Shihoon, so she would become Simdeok’s daughter-in-law. There was no logical reason for her to show kindness to her.
Eunha, who doubted Sohyeon’s intentions, looked at her cloth-covered eyes.
“Don’t you like me?”
“We’re not close enough to have a conversation.”
“I know. That’s why I came. I feel more confident because my eyes are covered. Eunha, I have planned to make your sister my attendant.”
Eunha bit her lower lip as she looked at Sohyeon.
Sohyeon had a glamorous appearance that no one could imitate. An innate superiority that came from growing up in a perfect family.
Eunha felt overwhelmed. She now found it hard to look at Sohyeon’s face. She realized that something inside her had broken.
“My sister didn’t leave the courtesan house to become someone’s attendant.”
“I apologize if you interpreted it in that manner. What I mean is something else.”
Eunha looked around when she noticed that Sohyeon became nervous. Maybe there were people outside listening, so she needed to get closer to her.
“Keep your voice down.”
Eunha, who crawled on the floor, touched Sohyeon’s hand. That meant they were very close. Sohyeon tilted her head forward.
“I will allow your sister to escape on my wedding day. I followed you to return the hair band you had dropped. I saw how you were kidnapped. I did not dare to report it. That has become a burden on my heart. After careful consideration, I chose to come see you.”
But Eunha didn’t feel sorry that Sohyeon hadn’t been able to report it, she was surprised that Sohyeon was the first one who knew that she hadn’t escaped.
She stroked Eunha. Upon observing her trembling shoulders, she embraced her tenderly.
“I will help your sister. Certainly, I’m doing this on your behalf. I don’t want to ruin my reputation. I intend to depart from the capital in order to escape my father’s shadow. I want to escape from this place too. I need to hasten the wedding with the Young Master, I hope you will help me.”

As Sohyeon walked out the door, the escorts followed her.
Eunha crouched down after she observed the scene through the window. She bit her arm so hard that she left the teeth mark.
Finally, she looked out into the forest. Although the ground was frozen due to the snow, the forest retained its vibrant green hue. His vision gradually became clearer.
They had taken away the dagger Jihak had given her.
Yoon Jongshin, Defense Minister.
She had no doubt about the person’s identity who smoked the opi#m.
Eunha turned her head as the door to her room opened.
