Chapter 51 (1/2)

When Kyosul was embarrassed to hear that, Heyjin nodded casually and said again, “I think Prince Binsung is so cute.”

“Cute about what?”

“Well, I just feel he’s so cute when he’s absorbed in something. He is always doing his best when he is into something. When he is focused on something, he usually pulls his lower lip toward his chin. It’s all so cute.” A habit like that could only be noticed by someone who watched keenly. “He is always trying to do something for me, but sometimes, he doesn’t succeed. I feel he is cute when he shows satisfaction after he finishes something, but even when he looks sullen and disappointed at his failure, he is still cute.”

“It looks like you think everything he does is cute, right?”

“Yes, that’s correct,” said Heyjin, nodding.

Kyosul was embarrassed to hear her praising her husband without reserve, but at the same time, she felt envious that Heyjin could accept every aspect of Prince Binsung with love. How difficult was it to accept anyone’s every word and act with love!

Is this what they call blind love?

While Kyosul was pondering over that, Heyjin changed the topic and asked her, “It looks like Prince Ruhae won’t come today.”

“I know he is busy all the time.”

Kyosul felt her heart sank.

Did she already notice it? Did she sense my affection for him? Probably not. Perhaps she said so because he usually comes every day.

As if it was not a big deal, Kyosul tried not to overreact, “As they have to assist the Emperor, aren’t all the princes of the four palaces busy all the time?”

“I think so, Your Highness,” Heyjin seconded in a monotonous tone.

When she talked about her husband, Heyjin’s eyes sparkled, her voice chimed, and she had a cheerful expression on her face. Now, she shut her mouth shut and her eyes lowered.

Looking at Kyosul, Heyjin asked, “I wonder if you ever feel uncomfortable with Prince Ruhae here.”

Heyjin’s unexpected statement astonished her to the point that Kyosul waved her hand.

Then, Kyosul realized she overreacted. On the other hand, she even felt embarrassed for fear Heyjin might think she was not uncomfortable at all.

Ruhae’s sharp reminder came to her mind all of a sudden.

Prince Heyjin is pretty quick-witted.

Kyosul was nervous she might have smelled a rat.

Did she sense my relationship with him?

Kyosul felt heavy and confused with all kinds of complicated thoughts. On such occasions Kyosul came to feel once again how difficult her relationship with him was at the moment.

I think I have to stay on edge like this all the time.

At that moment Heyjin said, “Your tea is getting cold. Please drink it.”

Kyosul lifted the teacup awkwardly.

After having tea time with Heyjin, she left early. While she was leaving the North Palace, she heard a familiar voice calling her from behind.

“You’re leaving early today.”

When she turned, it was Ruhae, as she expected.

“I thought you wouldn’t come today.”

“Well, I was late as I had to take care of lots of state affairs.”

“Fortunately, my visit today didn’t overlap yours, so I think I don’t have to feel sorry for Heyjin’s baby as I’m not disturbing your prenatal education today.”

“You can disturb me.” Kyosul was surprised by his unexpected reaction, opening her eyes wide. “I am satisfied with seeing you even briefly like this.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I just feel happy to see you often like this.”

Having said that, he stared at her face with a calm smile as his words echoed in her ears. She resisted his romantic approach deep inside.

She lightly scolded him politely, “You reminded me that I should be careful because there are many eyes in this palace who are watching us, but you seem to speak to me as if you are not worried at all.”

“Because there is nobody around us now.”

“Nonsense!”

“I admit that there are many, many eyes in this palace watching us, but as long as there is nobody around us, we can do whatever we want. This palace is so large that even if stand on my hands right now, there is nobody who can sneer at me or who can spread rumors about me.”

“Standing on your hands?”
