Chapter 34 (1/2)

Perhaps because they knew something was going to happen today, they started to notice things they normally would have missed.

Of course, that applied to everyone except Taesan.

Taesan was his usual self.

As he had already known that the white flower brothel was not an ordinary brothel since his first visit.

Familiar things were caught on Taesan’s radars.

‘So that’s where it was.’

The white flower brothel consisted of three pavilions.

In one of those pavilions, he sensed bad energy that he had several encounters with before.

Taesan was not good at memorizing people’s faces. As he wasn’t interested. But he was sharp at remembering any unique sources or flow of energy.

And he distinctively remembered the common flows found in the Jong Clan warriors.

That energy was gathered in one of the rooms in the pavilion.

“I will escort you to your usual room.”

The room that the prostitute escorted him to was opposite the room where the Jong clan warriors were gathered.

He was able to sense a few strong energies.

To make the fight between them look authentic they would need strong professionals amongst them. It seemed that they had done their homework and sourced the right ones.

They were more skilled than the ones usually stationed here.

And there were more professionals than usual.

“Not bad?”

The prostitute’s eyes widened as she turned around to look at Taesan.

Her face was flushed.

“Are..are you choosing me for today?”

It was a misunderstanding but he couldn’t be bothered to explain so he nodded.

“Sure why not.”

There was a mixed look of happiness and sadness shown on her face.

Even if she were selected today they would not be able to spend the night together. So she was sad and disappointed.

All the other prostitutes who had spent the night with Taesan said that their hearts still leaped whenever Taesan came to visit.

And they all held strong urges to spend another night with him.

They were all disappointed that they couldn’t remember anything from that night besides the feeling that it was good.

That’s why the prostitute that had escorted him had dreamed of spending a night with Taesan.

But what a wasted opportunity it was.

She too wanted to be happy as the others who had been chosen by Taesan before.

Her opportunity had arrived, but why was it today of all days.

“Then…then I’ll call another as well.”

“No need.”

“Oh? Will you be satisfied with just me alone tonight?”

“Yes. So now come and sit down.”

The prostitute happily entered the room and sat gently next to Taesan.

Then Gyeongwan who was standing outside shut the door.

Taesan looked at the girl sitting next to him. The prostitute averted his gaze and turned her face to show him her side profile.

Now that he thought about it there was some time left until the start of their plan. So wouldn’t he be able to squeeze in something before then?

The prostitute held onto such wishful thoughts and looked at Taesan.

“Don’t you think today’s environment is rather noisy?”

“Oh? Well. I’m not too…sure….”

“Listen carefully. Don’t you think there’s a fight going on?”

The prostitute paused and listened to the sounds of her surroundings. Then she faintly heard the sound of a fight.

“Oh? I think you’re right?”

She knew what that sound was. It was the backdrop in the process to make today’s plan a success.

The prostitute sighed. It seemed she wouldn’t be able to achieve her dream after all.

She looked at Taesan with a calm and collected look in her eyes.

This naive and innocent prince was going to be in trouble today.

Taesant smirked at the prostitute who was looking at her.

“Do you want me to pick out your eyes?”

“Sorry?”

The girl thought she had heard him wrongly. Did he really just say that?

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“How..how did I look at you…”

“Do I look like a prey about to be eaten?”

The prostitute closed her mouth. She was confused. This was not the usual Taesan she had heard of.

She quickly tried to grasp the situation and opened her mouth to speak.

“My…my prince what do you mean. I don’t quite understand.”

“I think I have become rather benevolent lately? And I would have just let things go if you looked at me with sympathy but you dare to look down at me?”

The prostitute kneeled and bowed with her head to the floor.

“I swear I never looked at you that way. I swear.”

“Do you swear it on your soul?

“Sorry?”

The prostitute stared blankly for a minute at Taesan.

She had heard the phrase swear it on your life but had never heard someone say swear it on your soul before.

But that was scarier than the former phrase.

Somehow she knew instinctively that it would be dangerous to swear it on her soul.

“Just start what you were planning to do.”

“Sorry.”

Taesan laughed wildly.

“Do you think I came here without a clue of what’s going on?”

The prostitutes’ face turned pale.

Gyeongwan stood blocking the door and looked around at his surroundings.

Yoo was standing next to Gyeongwan.

And the doctor was seated a distance away from them.

This was different than the normal situation.

Normally once Taesan entered the room the doctor would disappear only to return near the end.

Gyeongwan didn’t place much thought on the difference today. After all, today was a special day.

Gyeongwan who had been inspecting his surroundings tensely suddenly noticed Yoo.

She was no different from her usual self. But today she felt a little special to him today.

‘Huh! What was I thinking!’

Gyeongwan turned away as his face started to flush.

He had been staring at Yoo when he had intended to inspect the surroundings.

He was nearly caught by Yoo.

But the problem was what came next.

Suddenly he felt lustful. Normally he never dared to even dream about doing something to Yoo, but today he suddenly recalled Mdm Rogue’s suggestion to prepare a separate room for them.

Gyeongwan cautiously turned his gaze to Yoo. Coincidentally Yoo was looking his way and their eyes met.

He was surprised and quickly turned away.
