Chapter 30 (1/2)

The rumor began to circulate that the Crown Prince spent a long night with this little princess from a faraway country and that he recently visited her room again.

This was the hot topic of the court ladies these days.

The Crown Princess succeeded in winning over that heartless Crown Prince?

It was only natural that all the women in the palace were very curious about Kyosul.

In addition to that, there was another ugly rumor getting around among them. The rumor was that she captivated not only the Crown Prince but also Prince Ruhae.

“As you know, most of the wild rumors circulating in the palace are groundless,” said Dukwol, laughing off the rumors, but his black eyes sparkled when he continued, “But there is a real possibility that the rumors could turn out to be true.”

“As there are so many rumors about her, I was led on, too. When I looked at her in person, I was surprised. She just came of age, and she was pretty, but I wonder how such a slow-witted woman can win over any guy’s heart.”

Oran waved her hands, suggesting she could never believe her ears.

“But it seems true that she has won Bipaan’s heart. I hear the path from the Dongchon Palace to her residence can’t be smoother or shinier. I just wonder if this pretty woman has captivated his mind with her great sex skills.”

Even without watching her language, Oran now put out obscene words about the Crown Princess, but Dukwol turned his mouth up and whispered into her ears.

“In other words, it looks like she pretends to be a pathetic woman in broad daylight then turns into a temptress at night. Wow, even I feel tempted by her upon hearing that.”

Opening her round eyes wide, Oran sneered, “You’re going too far. How can you show interest in another woman in my presence?”

“Are you now jealous because you might hear another possible rumor that even Dukwol has been captivated by the Crown Princess?”

Dukwol touched the tip of her nose gently. With a sullen face, she sat on his lap, with her broad skirt spread on the blanket.

“I’m a temptress during the night, as you know, but I can be a temptress even during the day.”

“Really?”

On hearing his hot reaction, she pursed her red lips and took off her outer garment. Then, she sat on his legs, bringing her waist closer to his chest.

“Don’t you think I’m more tempting right now?” she said, putting her arms around his neck.

Looking up at her face, he touched her elbows with his fingers.

“If you are willing to show me how horny you are, l want to make love to you right now,” he said.

As soon as he finished his words, she kissed him.

The moment their lips touched, the only sounds in his room were rough and hot breathing. They didn’t wait until they had taken off their cumbersome clothes.

Suddenly, lots of documents he piled on the desk fell to the floor. Her hips rolled against his. Then, she wrapped her legs around his neck, pushing her broad skirt up her waist. She reached out to grab hold of anything she could as their excited breathing echoed in the quiet of Sochon Palace.

Time passed idly. Since he met Kyosul and Bipaan in the back garden of the outer palace, Ruhae spent day after day without purpose. As his brief pleasure in the back garden was gone forever, he was bored every day. He felt every day was the same to him. He even felt breathing, sleeping and eating meant nothing to him.

His typical day was pretty busy. In particular, Ruhae was in charge of the most state affairs after Bipaan, as the Emperor recognized his abilities among other princes. Usually, he handled affairs related to justice, but he also handled some of the educational and cultural affairs.

The Emperor didn’t leave such a capable prince as Ruhae idle.

Taking a brief break from his heavy workload, Ruhae murmured to himself. “It looks like another day will be over while I’m snowed under with work.”

Stretching his back, he paused for a moment because he realized that he just spoke to himself.

He had a bitter smile on his lips.

“Who did I talk to a moment ago?”

He leaned on the chair. Closing his eyes, he let out a deep sigh. Though he thought it was not a big deal at that time, he sometimes got enraged about himself when he looked back.
