Chapter 14 (1/2)

Surprised at the sound of his stepping back, Kyosul quickly turned around. Her eyes met his as he smiled at her gently.

“You have made fun of me!”

Her eyes were wet with tears. She was as much prone to tears as laughter. Whenever he looked at her big eyes, he felt heartbroken. Recalling his first encounter with her as she had been crying in the small sedan chair, he was suddenly choked up. Leaning against the tree,with her hands folded behind her back, she shouted at him.

“You’re so mean! As you call me Your Highness, Crown Princess or Crown Princess, I was worried and nervous that you were trying to draw a line. But you are just nice and talking to me mischievously with a smile all the time. How do you …”

How do you feel about me?

That’s what she wanted to ask, but she couldn’t. How could she reveal her feelings about him like this? She was not supposed to do so. She was the Crown Princess, and she couldn’t figure out how she really felt about him. Their meetings up to now could be called the exchanges between friends, but if she asked that question, she might not be able to see him again.

But Kyosul was not the type of woman who held back what was on her lips.

“I wish Uljin Yu were the Crown Prince.”

In the end, she told him what happened on the wedding night. Tears trickled from her eyes again. There was no longer a smile on his face. Teetering toward her, he went down on one knee before her.

The nanny was waiting for Kyosul in front of a tall gate at the entrance of the outer palace. Sometimes, she stuck out her head and looked inside the gate to check out whether she was coming back. Waiting for her every day was part of the nanny’s hobby now.

Although the sun rising high in the sky looked small, it was shining everywhere in the world. Looking up at the sun, the nanny looked down when she heard someone approaching. She couldn’t see clearly who he was, because she couldn’t see his face.

Embarrassed, she bowed to him.

I just don’t know how to greet him formally as I don’t know who he is. What should I do?

When she deeply bowed to him, he stopped walking and said, “Who are you?”

“Oh, I’m Lady Yuon serving Her Highness,Crown Princess Kyosul, and I’m her nanny. I have been waiting for her as she is spending time in the back garden of the outer palace.”

“Really?”

As if he wasn’t interested, the man entered the tall gate of the outer palace and disappeared. With a sigh, she raised her head. She seemed to have heard his cold voice, but she easily forgot him as she felt there were no high-ranking people in the imperial palace that she might recognize.

The back garden of the outer palace was built for foreign envoys and court ladies. As time went by, it became the favorite place of royal family members when they wanted to take a walk. As the palace was built with foreign envoys in mind, it was built magnificently to show the dignity of the Mok Kingdom, so they were satisfied with its quality. The most popular place was the tree, standing tall in the center of the long and upper hill. The tall tree rising high above many colorful flowers and trees was plain compared with other trees but had an aura of dignity.

Under that tree stood a woman and a man. They were none other than Kyosul and Ruhae. He was bowing to her, going down with one knee. It looked as if he was showing court courtesy to her politely. At the same time, he was showing his affection for her delicately.

“I’m sorry. I think I have offended you as I behaved too mischievously.”

Embarrassed by his sudden act, Kyosul blinked her eyes without knowing what to do, and then cautiously put down her hand. She put her small hand on his head. His hair was as soft as his smile. After she stroked his hair for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“Uljin Yu.”

“Hey, have you already become close enough to call him like that?”

Suddenly, someone called her from behind.

Startled at his voice, Kyosul and Ruhae turned their heads toward where his voice was heard. Bipaan stood there before them on the hill. With a gloomy look, Ruhae raised himself and bowed to him slightly.

“Long live the Crown Prince, I’m honored to see you.”

Other palace people would have kneeled and bowed to him like Ruhae did, but like Bipaan, he was one of those who were in line to succeed the throne. So, he showed courtesy by simply bending his waist forward. As Ruhae didn’t reveal to Kyosul that he was the prince, he only went down on one knee to show courtesy playfully.

Without paying attention to Ruhae, Bipaan walked to Kyosul with big strides.
