How can he convey the paper reflecting his passionate feelings to her under such a situation?

“Even if I convey my desperate heart to you slowly, even that is not easy.”
When he went up one stair, he had to stop before the next stair.
Frankly admitting that this was going to be a challenging task, he just looked at himself frustrated at the reality unfolding before him.
But he could find a clue to solve the problem in an unexpected place.

“Long live the Crown Princess! I’m here to inquire after her.”
A guest visited the Dongbi Palace.
Kyosul met the man for the first time, who had a neat topknot with plain ornaments.
“How do you do, Crown Princess? In fact, I came here recently when you were sick in bed, but I didn’t introduce myself in person at that time. My name is Prince Binsung.”
He had a simple and neat impression. As he hadn’t yet turned 20, he looked immature, but he was tall and broad shoulders.
“Oh, I heard from my nanny that you came here. Thanks for caring about me.”
“I was very sorry to hear that you became sick after you came to the North Palace to see my wife.”
“No, you don’t have to. As for your wife…”
While exchanging greetings with him, her eyes trembled. She cast a glance at another man next to Prince Binsung. He was none other than Ruhae. Just like he did yesterday, Ruhae greeted her with his eyes, smiling lightly.
“It’s been a while since I met you.”
Binsung looked at Ruhae with surprise when the latter said that.
“Did you already see her?”
“Yes, I did.”
“When I arrived in the Mok Kingdom, he greeted me,” she cut in hurriedly, as if that were the only and last time she saw him for fear Ruhae might say something that could embarrass her. With a gentle smile on his lips, Ruhae nodded.
“That’s right, Binsung,” Ruhae said.
“By the way, Brother Ruhae, you are in charge of cultural and educational affairs, right?” Binsung asked, tilting his head.
It was true that Ruhae was in charge of cultural and educational affairs, but he was only responsible for education and civil exam tests. His major duty was to maintain justice in the country.
Kyosul flinched at Binsung’s sharp question, who seemed to understand Ruhae’s duty in general. Ruhae answered without any hesitation.
“If I put it more accurately, it was not my original duty, but my older brother asked me to take it over.”

“Are you talking about the Crown Prince?”
“Sort of…”
Ruhae didn’t answer accurately but laughed it off. But with sparkling eyes, Binsung folded both hands and said, “As expected, you’re a highly competent man, Brother Ruhae. That’s why Crown Prince Bipaan assigned such an important task to you just like he did the same when selecting his official wife.”
Binsung said that to praise Ruhae, but his praise made her heart sink again.
She was troubled by the fact that the Crown Prince left even the important task of selecting his official wife to others. In other words, Bipaan didn’t care about Kyosul at all.
She couldn’t help but think that her relationship with him was wrong from the beginning.
“As you greeted the Crown Princess from a foreign country, I’m also reminded of the day when my wife arrived at the imperial palace,” said Binsung. “At that time she was dressed in the formal dress of the Jinsung Kingdom. Decorated with a colorful face veil and large jewels, she looked like a noblewoman from the sky. I’d never seen such a beautiful woman before.”
Having said that, he was lost in wistful reminiscences about her. Looking at his expression, Ruhae could fully sense how much he loved her.
The face of a man in deep love looked so cute.
Binsung and Heyjin looked happy.
