Seon-Ho came blazing in the courtyard as soon as the gates opened and made his way to me in full view of everyone. But he stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw the bruises on me and his face darkened right there and then. All the maids stared at him in wonder; he was a handsome man no doubt about it. But I didn't even look at him once; I had my brother's promise to keep but I also wanted to see how the person who claimed he loved me would do for me.
Everyone saw how he took the miss-in-charge to one side and threatened her and I couldn't deny it my heart swelled for it. He chose me and another maid behind me despite the warnings he got about Mishil who was well-connected in the palace and how hard she would make a life for us both but he just grabbed me in full view of everyone and dragged me to his office. I turned around and I got some really jealous looks. I just sighed; I knew I was in for a hellish time here.
