“Very much.”

She grabbed his hands. They held hands tightly and sat side by side on the bed, looking at each other. She didn’t ask why he paid so much attention to that fortune-teller. As she was in the same boat, she could know without asking.

It was because of the relationship between the Crown Princess and the prince.

It was because each of them had their own official spouse.

Nevertheless, they were attracted to and loved each other.

Just like she suddenly came and brought the topic, she continued, “You told me the fortune-teller was trying to deceive us with his three-inch long tongue, right? That’s a typical trick people like him use to make money by deceiving suckers on the streets.”

He just grinned as she enthusiastically spoke. Excited by his laughter much more, she spoke heatedly, “Do you remember him when he spat out words we couldn’t understand and then suddenly lost interest in us and got lost in thoughts?”

“As if he were possessed by a spirit,” he said.

“Right. That was so fake. Very awkward. So, I noticed his trick. ”

“Did you notice it, too, at that time?”

“No, actually I was a bit confused at the time, but when I came back, I pondered over it. Perhaps he would have asked for more money if I had asked more questions.”

He stroked her hair as if to calm her down. Her head was even hot as she spoke passionately.

“I know, I know. I think so. It just keeps occurring to my mind….”

Ruhae’s eyes grew unfocused again. She thought of his sad eyes when he looked at her these days. She grabbed his hands with both hands.

“I already forgot everything. I don’t remember what the heck he rambled about because he said too many strange and awkward words. ”

“Right. Nonsensical sentences. ”

“It looks like you were tricked because you are so smart. As you try to find out its meaning and interpretation by yourself… ”

“You’re right.”

He pressed long kisses to her finger. With his lips still on her fingers, he continued to talk, “It’s not because of that fortune teller’s prediction. It just amplified the anxiety that was already in my mind. I didn’t control my fears and made you worry. I’m still stupid.”

His lips tickled her fingers. When his breath reached her fingers, she was touched by the warmth conveyed through her fingers.

“If we had not maintained this relationship or if we had not had any concern at all, we would have laughed off his prediction, ignoring it as just pure nonsense. ”

“You bet. But for this relationship…”

This relationship.

Something they could call ‘this relationship’ bothered them.

“But you have to remember this one thing.”

As if trying to forget the pain, she looked at him, straining her eyes.

“You are the only person that I can give my heart to,” she said.

“Yes, same to me.”

He put his hands on her cheeks. She put her hands on the back of his hands and spoke slowly.

“Don’t worry.”

Every word reflected her genuine feelings. Her fingers crossed his.

“Don’t worry, don’t be nervous,” she said tenderly, which touched his heart strongly.

“If no one knows this, or even if we can’t tell this to anybody else…”

Each of her words was emphasized.

As if not to miss her tone, he listened carefully.

“Because you are my man, and I am your woman.”

My man.

My one and only love.

When Kyosul said that, there was silence between them for a while. Even though they didn’t talk, their intense gazes spoke volumes. After looking at her for a long time, He leaned his forehead on her shoulder.

“I’m leaning on you who cried inside the sedan chair.”

It was anxiety and fear he brought upon himself.

But now he realized that he didn’t have to go through it by himself. He realized it through this young woman before his eyes.

The month-long festival to celebrate the birthday of Ohyulje ended with the gathering of all the royal families again for a splendid banquet. The royal families who had spent a month or so in the palace returned to their homes a day or two after the banquet.

All the palace people who were busy preparing for the festival were exhausted. And they received special allowances and vacations as they volunteered to serve royal families at the Imperial Palace banquet during the festival period when no one was forced to work. The special bonus they received was bigger than any other cash award.
