Chapter 72 (1/2)
Strange enough, she felt uncomfortable whenever she met Dukwol face to face, but she couldn’t figure out exactly what made her feel that way.
Fortunately, she soon forgot about Dukwol because Ruhae, along with his wife Yomin, came forward to offer greetings to Prince Binsung and Heyjin.
“Congratulations, Princess Heyjin!”
“Your baby is so cute!”
Ruhae and Yomin congratulated Heyjin and Koryun from the bottom of their hearts.

While watching them, Kyosul’s heart sank once more.
It was an official place where all the members of the royal family got together. In that place, Kyousul had to stay beside Bipaan while Ruhae had to be with Yomin.
While he in the maternity center, Ruhae didn’t cast a glance at Kyosul, let alone give her casual greetings or a smile. Kyosul understood the situation, and she hoped Ruhae wouldn’t perform any unusual acts to draw their attention to his relationship with her.
Nonetheless, Kyosul felt heartbroken.
While sitting quietly, Kyosul turned her eyes from them. She wished this ceremony was over as soon as possible.

Members of the royal family congratulated Koryun one by one. It was a kind of ritual to prevent her misfortune in advance. When all the procedures were done, everybody was about to leave. Heyjin called Kyosul, “Could you stay a little longer?”
Turning to her, Bipaan nodded.
“Let me wait for you outside.”
“No, you can go back alone,” Kyosul replied.
Was it because of her lingering anger towards him? She refused Bipaan’s willingness to wait for her outside. Stunned by her refusal, Kyosul hastily made excuses by saying, “In fact, I’ve got something to talk with Princess Heyjin, so I’m afraid I’ll be here a bit longer.”
“Got it.”
Without uttering anything, he turned. It looked as if there was a cold wind blowing behind him when he quickly left the door.
After Bipaan left the maternity center, there were only Heyjin, Binsung, Koryun and Kyosul left.
“I hear you once tried to visit me before.”
“Ah, at that time I tried…”
When the incident took place at the North Place, Kyosul abruptly visited the North Palace to prove Ruhae’s innocence when he was singled out as the main culprit, but there was a tight security around the palace after the incident, so Kyousl was denied entry to the palace, and couldn’t see Heyjin.
“Are you fully recovered?”
“Yes, I am. All thanks to you, Crown Princess. Me and my baby are alright.”
In fact, Kyosul didn’t visit the palace out of concern about her and her baby, but she didn’t reveal it to her.
Because of her cold, Kyosul talked to her at a distance, so Heyjin waved at her to come nearer.
“But….”
“I’m alright. Crown Princess, my baby is pretty healthy.”
Heyjin’s confidence voice reassured her, so she came near to Heyjin. Heyjin handed Koryun to her, saying “Please hold her. On this happy day I hope Crown Princess, my only friend in the palace, can hold my baby.”
With a mysterious smile Heyjin pressed her to hold Koryun.
“In the Mok Kingdom there is a traditional custom that all the royal family members congratulate the mother and give a name to the baby, but in my motherland, the Jinsung Kingdom, customarily one’s best friend congratulates the mother as the godfather as well as the godmother. As the godmother, I hope you can hold my baby, Crown Princess!”

“If you describe to me how to hold your baby?”
As if she were on the spot, she narrowed her eye. With a bright smile, however, Heyjin handed Koryun to her again. After some hesitation, Kyosul cautiously received her.
Her heart trembled when she received the baby for the first time. She looked at Koryun at a distance. Now that she wrapped Koryun in her arms, she felt differently.
“How cute she is…”
As if she were tired, Koryun closed her eyes and wiggled her little lips, snuggling into her breasts. Looking at Koryun doing so, she smiled naturally.
“I really envy you, Prince Heyjin!”
In fact, Kyosul murmured it to herself, but Heyjin already heard it.
