He was faced with a close call every day while he was staying with Kyosul.
Without any sense of wariness, she would sleep on the sofa right next to him or on the bed in her room soundly. The fact that he shared the same bed with her thrilled him so much that he couldn't sleep at all. It was the happiest time in his life that he just looked at her moonlit face when she was asleep.
Seven days passed since he brought her stay at the East Palace to punish her for hiking to Mt. Mokak.
He escorted her there. It was the first time they took a walk after the wedding.
He took her for a walk on the back path of the East Palace. He enjoyed walking there. In fact, walking along this road with Kyosul was his simple wish.
There was heard the sound of a brook murmuring along. As the back path bordered with the wall of the East Palace, there was a waterway leading to the outside of the palace.
"Wow!"
Kyosul, who was following him, suddenly exclaimed out of joy.
