Chapter 75

A cold and heavy silence filled the room, but nobody could answer Ohyulje's question. His face grew darker.

"Where is Ruhae on this happy day? Wasn't he here earlier?" he asked in a low voice, which destroyed the atmosphere instantly.

Everybody was aware that the Emperor was upset now.

Only Mu, who was playing at a distance where he couldn't hear the Emperor, enjoyed playing with the weasel. Yomin's breathing seemed loud in the midst of heavy silence.

"Why isn't anybody replying to my question? Yomin, what happened? Where is he right now, leaving you alone here?" he asked Princess Yomin sternly.

She lay face down, unable to speak as she got scared.

"Your Majesty! I'm so sorry. Please calm yourself."

Yomin rambled without knowing what she was saying to the Emperor now. She was choked with tears. Day after day was like a torment to her as she had to live without Ruhae, her husband.
