Chapter 129

Crown Prince Bipaan's days were tightly scheduled. He carried out his job perfectly without failure, but today was different. The eunuch on standby outside his office disturbed his focus by announcing, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess has arrived."

"The Crown Princess?"

He put down the brush he was holding. After a moment, he told the eunuch to let her in.

Since that day, there was a hiccup in Bipaan's daily routine as Kyosul came to visit him every morning.

"How are you, Crown Prince?"

Kyosul, clad in silk and an ornamental wig, politely bowed to him from the small cushion across his desk. She felt awkward about her royal dress and heavy makeup.

She was seated with a trembling voice after offering morning greetings to him.

"Did you sleep well last night? Did you have a good breakfast?" she asked.

He felt embarrassed by her polite greetings, which he had never received before.

As he tried not to let her detect his embarrassment, he responded rather harshly.
