Chapter 36 (1/2)

As Prince Binsung was used to seeing women with fair skin and black eyes and hair, he was instantly attracted to this exotic princess. He implored his mother, the second wife of the Emperor, Concubine Jeyong, to allow him to marry her. Finally, he got married to this woman from the kingdom of Jinsung.

This woman was none other than Princess Heyjin. Lying on the bed, she, who was big with child, raised herself gently.

“Long live the Crown Princess! I’m honored to see you. Please forgive me for not bowing to you as I feel uncomfortable with pregnancy.”

“No, no, that’s fine.”

Kyosul looked at her blankly for a moment as she was surprised at Heyjin’s exotic face. Then, she approached Heyjin with a smile.

“I’m sorry I’ve come here so late as I heard about your pregnancy belatedly.”

“How can I be upset you? I am just grateful for coming here.”

Heyjin showed courtesy to her by bowing.

Looking at her big belly, Kyosul cautiously asked, “Can I touch it?”

Heyjin looked at her quietly on hearing that. Embarrassed by her gaze, Kyosul just sat face to face with her, at a loss what to do. Heyjin’s eyes were so blue. Her rather dark pupils seemed to contract at the moment.

Looking at Kyosul for a minute, she nodded. Then Kyosul grinned and put her hand on her swollen belly cautiously.

She exclaimed before she knew.

“Wow! Your baby is growing inside here, right? How wonderful!”

“I’m sure you’re going to get pregnant some day.”

Her beautiful voice echoed into Kyosul’s ears. Looking at Heyjin with a surprised expression, Kyosul seemed a bit sad but laughed it off by saying, “Can I? I’m afraid I can’t.”

Though Kyosul took pains to hide her feelings, she had a sad smile.

“No, I can reassure you that you can get pregnant,” Heyjin said resolutely.

At that moment, Kyosul was so embarrassed that she changed the topic.

“By the way, I’m surprised to know you’re speaking the language of the Mok Kingdom very well.”

“My country, Jinsungkuk, doesn’t have a language of its own, so it borrowed the letters from the Mok Kingdom. Though we had our own language in Jinsungguk, the intelligent and high-ranking people intentionally used the Mok language for an air of conceit.”

“Oh, Jinsungkuk.”

Kyosul quietly rolled her eyes at her confession that she was from Jinsungkuk and opened her mouth as if something came to her mind.

“Well, my mother liked the ornaments and accessories made in Jinsungkuk. Beautiful ornaments studded with gems of beautiful colors. In particular, my mother used to put on a necklace made there all the time.”

Holding her hand, Kyousl talked excitedly. Come to think of it, Heyjin was wearing a necklace similar to the one that her mother Queen Yo wore. While Kyosul was excited about talking about it, Heyjin maintained a confused expression all along.

Looking around her room, Kyosul carefully looked inside her room as if she felt something strange. At a glance, it was similar to Kyosul’s in the room design with a desk, a cushioned mat, a cornet cabinet, and a large bookshelf. Of course, Kyosul’s room was much larger.

But when Kyosul took a closer look, all the precious things for the study on the desk as well as all the ornaments on the corner cabinet and the bookshelf were not made in the Mok Kingdom.

“Wow! Have you brought all this stuff from your motherland?”

“Yes.”

“Beautiful. Just marvelous!”

In no time, she came closer to the ornaments and looked around them when she noticed a strange and large sculpture shaped like a horse with a long neck right next to the bookshelf.

“What is this?”

She couldn’t see it from the bedside, but Heyjin answered, knowing already what she asked.

“That’s an animal called Kusobo in Jinsungkuk. It’s regarded as a sacred animal there.”

“I’ve never seen it before. Can I look at it in detail?”

Turning around, she asked, and Heyjin nodded.
