Weekly Chapter 4/6

When the door closed, silence reigned in the room.

She did not move after Jihak left the room. She didn’t want to move. She was so exhausted that she couldn’t even move a finger. Eunha closed her eyes.

“Get up.”

She noticed Kim standing in the doorway.

She wondered why she was so tired.

Eunha smiled. She couldn’t move a single step. Even though she knew she had to escape this place, she wanted to fall into a deep sleep.

“I’m Sohyeon.”

Jihak, who cooled his throat with cold water, looked at the woman who had come to visit him earlier in the morning.

“I brought a letter.”

Sohyeon held out a letter to Jihak. He smiled. He submerged the letter that Sohyeon had delivered into the cold water remaining from his drink.

“You don’t seem to know that I’m blind.”

Sohyeon, who was surprised by Jihak’s behavior, offered a respectful bow.

“I really didn’t know. I’m afraid.”

“Tell my sister I’ll visit her another day.”

“Yes, Your Excellency.”

His mind seemed ready to burst as he considered Eunha, who appeared utterly drained. That’s why he looked at Sohyeon with an annoyed expression.

“I guess my sister sent you here to cause trouble.”

“No. I came to check that the girl named Eunha is safe.”

His mood changed when the woman mentioned her name. Sohyeon slowly raised her head toward Jihak. He possessed a daunting demeanor. Sohyun’s voice trembled like never before,

“Actually, I’ve come to give this to her.”

Sohyeon laid a hair band on the floor. Jihak instantly recognized it as the band she had used to tie up her hair that morning.

“Why do you have that hair band?”

Sohyeon was quite surprised. Heein had told her that her brother didn’t feel affection, but it seemed to her that she was wrong.

“She dropped it while drinking tea. I followed her to give it to her. But I saw a woman approach her. It was a woman from the courtesan’s house.”

Jihak slowly picked up the hair band. He pondered the words courtesan house. Her hands trembled at his penetrating gaze.

“I have not come to cause trouble. Allow me to meet with Eunha.”

“You are my sister’s attendant. You will also become Simdeok’s daughter-in-law, but you don’t plan to cause trouble?”

“My father was ordered to keep an eye on all the readers in the Kingdom. Ten years ago, that girl’s father was beaten to death.”

Despite feeling as though she confronted a ferocious beast, Sohyeon articulated her words with clarity.

She did not want to cancel her engagement to Young Master Shihoon. That was why she needed to restore her heart. Even if it was a one-sided marriage, she desired an impeccable arrangement. For that she needed Eunha.

“That’s why I want to meet with Eunha.”

Jihak, who was looking at Sohyeon with narrowed eyes, suddenly burst out laughing.

His empty laughter that seemed to echo in the darkness caused Sohyeon to prepare to have her head cut off. The Prince’s aura was close to murderous intent. It was a difficult pressure for a woman’s body to bear.

“I should cut off your head. And pull out my sister’s tongue. You can’t talk nonsense about her. How dare you insist on me?”

“Please don’t be angry…”

“I’ll let you meet Eunha, but blindfolded.”

Sohyeon, who was dumbfounded, lowered her head without hesitation.

“Thank you very much. Your Excellency.”
