Chapter 16 Ji-wan had already seen through everything, just as Seong-woo had expected.** The reason Do Seong-woo had brought Ha Hye-ryeon to the company café. The base intention was so blatantly obvious it was almost laughable. Whatever the reason, Ji-wan didn’t particularly care. Do Seong-woo’s attempts to keep him in check were nothing more than the one-man show of someone thrashing about in pure inferiority. It was common knowledge that Chairman Do had designated Do Seong-woo as his…-

Chapter 15 Seong-woo opened the passenger-side door for her.** It seemed he had come alone today, without a driver or secretary. Hye-ryeon got into his car without a word of protest. Walking around the hood to the driver’s seat, Seong-woo pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and asked, “So. Any results?” “I ran into him a few more times. Yesterday he even walked me home.” She figured she had to tell him a certain amount of the truth if she didn’t want to arouse his…

Chapter 14 “Wait.” Hyeryeon slightly furrowed her brows. “Don’t tell me you…” She looked at Jiwan with disbelieving eyes. “Listen to the end of what a person is saying.” Jiwan snapped in an irritated tone. “…Alright, talk.” He soon made an abrupt stop on the shoulder. “So what I want to say is… that you also have a certain amount of responsibility for this problem.” “What?” What on earth had she just heard? “When I was twenty-one… After…

Chapter 13 “Why are you so curious about that?” Hyeryeon shot back. Her expression was the same as usual, yet today it felt especially cold. “I told you. I was worried.” “I’m grateful for that, sunbae. But I came home just fine, didn’t I?” “Hyeryeon-ah.” “If someone says they were worried about me, do I have to answer everything?” It wasn’t just Younghoon’s imagination. She was sharp. “That’s not what I meant, you know.” He spoke in a much softer…

Chapter 12 The night felt as if a storm had swept through. Softly, softly. At the sound of tiptoeing footsteps, Jiwan’s eyelids slowly lifted. He could see Hyeryeon putting on her clothes. Trying to run away again. Before he knew it, she was fully dressed and began moving quietly yet busily. Jiwan tracked the woman’s motions with narrowed eyes. She headed to the bathroom, then came out carrying the basket that had held the towels. Then she glanced toward Jiwan. He instinctively…

Chapter 17 The quiet room with only me in it, the silence without even the sound of a single bird’s cry, made my chest heave. The rough waves that had made my chest heave soon overflowed the breakwater and appeared in the form of tears. “……” I roughly wiped the corners of my eyes with my sleeve and turned my head toward the window where bright sunlight was pouring down. Looking at the open view, the surging waves gradually grew calmer. *This isn’t that room.* I quietly repeated…-

Chapter 16 “If a princess meets the stepmother empress and then comes out crying…” At my words, the empress’s eyes narrowed even further. “What will people think?” “……” “They’ll think you bullied me. Of course. Because you’re the stepmother.” “……” “Can the empress afford to receive such a misunderstanding? Huh? Should I just go out crying like this?” I glared at her and spoke as if threatening her. Even if I truly left this place crying, that…

Chapter 15 With the help of the maids Novella had brought, I washed and got dressed. Once I was fully dressed and sat down, a maid took hold of my foot. It was to put socks on me. “…Ah, sorry. I’m sorry.” At the sudden sensation of my ankle being grabbed, I ended up kicking her hand with my foot in a panic. The maid immediately bowed her head. “I apologize, Your Highness.” She apologized instead and carefully finished putting on the sock without gripping my…

Chapter 14 I sluggishly pushed myself up from the bed. “Ugh.” What time was it now? Judging by the fact that it was still bright outside, I hadn’t slept all that long. There was nothing to do even if I woke up, so I wanted to sleep more in the soft bed, but— ‘I’m hungry.’ The hunger that kept surging up made it impossible to fall back asleep. I hadn’t eaten anything all day yesterday, so it made sense that I’d wake up hungry. The savory smell drifting from…

Chapter 13 A wastrel throws tantrums at anyone, regardless of the situation. So if I became a wastrel, even if I opposed the empress, it would look like I was opposing her “because I’m a wastrel,” not “in order to become emperor.” And the wastrels that appear in novels aren’t afraid of anyone. ‘They don’t avoid shit because they’re scared of it—they avoid it because it’s dirty.’ Therefore, if I were nothing more than a wastrel, the empress wouldn’t be wary of me,…
