Chapter 5 (1/2)

The nanny of Kyosul was offered the official title of Lady Yuon in the Mok Kingdom.

Though she was from a commoner’s family, she was chosen as the nanny for Woorum when she lived in the Hwa Kingdom, and even in the Mok Kingdom she continued to take care of Kyosul.

“We’re also worried about her. We wouldn’t dare to come into her room without her approval.”

“Oh, I see. Let me go and check out.”

When she nodded, the court ladies opened the sliding door of Kyosul’s room. Once inside, she looked around her room. Her room was dim even though the day broke because she didn’t open the window.

Sunlight was shining through the window, dividing the room in half.

“Your Highness?”

The drinking table had not been touched at all. When she looked at the bed, she saw the blanket pulled up.

“Your Highness, are you sick?”

When she gently approached her and stroked her cheek, Kyosul opened her eyes feebly.

“…Nanny.”

Kyosul’s eyes were welled up with tears again when she called the nanny.

Surprised at her tears, she climbed onto the bed and held her in her arms.

“Your Highness, What’s the matter with you? ”

“Nanny, nanny… ”

Dropping tears, she was hugged into the nanny’s bosom. The nanny was really heartbroken to see her crying. Making a long face, the nanny stroked her slender body gently.

“What did the Crown Prince tell you? Did he really hurt your feelings? Oh, poor Kyosul! What should I do?”

While soothing her, the nanny suddenly looked inside the blanket she lifted to be hugged.

The white bedsheet was clean.

At that moment, the nanny’s face hardened. When the nanny stopped stroking her body, Kyosul looked up at her.

“Your Highness, did the Crown Princess just leave?”

“Nanny, what do you mean?”

“Did you sleep alone here last night?”

When Kyosul found out what the nanny meant, she blushed.

“… ”

As Kyosul didn’t reply, the nanny took it as her answer and let her get up and stand outside the bed. Standing on the floor as instructed by the nanny, she looked at her, touching her lips as if she were nervous.

“No one should know that the Crown Prince just left last night,” the nanny said.

“Nanny, why?”

“Oh my god…I just don’t understand why His Excellency sent this little girl to a faraway country.”

Nanny’s eyes were welled up with tears. What she meant by High Excellency was King Chung of the Hwa Kingdom, namely Kyosul’s father.

“The lords and members of the imperial family here won’t look at you favorably. So, if they find out the Crown Prince didn’t sleep here last night on the wedding night, and if they ever know he treated you coldly, what would happen to you?”

Nanny shook her head and added, “No, never. You should make sure they should never find it out. I’m afraid they’ll hurt you if they do.”

The nanny’s voice trembled. Kyosul seemed to understand her now. Since Kyosul came from a foreign country, she wasn’t on good ground, which meant her position was very dangerous. Only the Crown Prince who got married to her could protect her. If it were publicly revealed that he was neglecting her, she would certainly be attacked by a wicked group even if she held the title of Crown Princess. Especially in the imperial kingdom of the Mok Kingdom, notorious for its intense power struggles, she would be put in great danger.

Wiping her tears, the nanny looked firmly at the white bedspread.

“I’m determined to protect you in this dangerous palace.”

The nanny pulled out a small silver dagger from her bosom. Even before Kyosul understood her behavior, the nanny cut the little finger of her left hand with the dagger and sprinkled the blood on the bedspread.

“Nanny!”
