Chapter 46: Kang Da-In

I immediately ran home and I ran to my mother and I begged her to go to Nam-Jeon's home the next day and put forward a proposal no matter what. My parents had never denied us anything so I was fully confident that I could have him- and get rid of her once and for all. I had a few friends in the market that could mess with her when she went out once a month...but to my horror he had began to accompany her when his father was't around so they couldn't do anything to her. She agreed as soon as I said it as I went to my father and told him the same thing. He went to bed content...at leats that's what I remember. But the next day late afternoon he came back with a red face full of humiliation and shame as he immediately barked orders to our servants to pack up our things and get ready to go to another province in the south for a few days without question. My parents gave me what I wanted but I have never seen him in that mood before so I figured that I would ask him about it later.

Imagine my horror when I met a soon-to-be wealthy scholarly...tween only a year or two older than myself who was to be my husband! He wasn't athletically built like Nam Seon-Ho nor did he have his intelligence, although he had the exact...abnormal notions when it came to the commoner class. He was...fairly pleasant at first, when I was unaware of who he was but he had a...way about him when he didn't get thins done the way he wanted, not unlike myself I had to admit. But as soon as we both found out about our 'marriage' a month or 2 later I fled as fast as I could the next morning, taking full advantage of Bong Hyun-Ki's hospitality and bribing his coachmen to let ma take the young master's carriage and I got out of there so fast before anyone was awake...I even had to leave my elder sister behind...but that was a story for another day.

My first destination was of course the Nam residence but as soon as I got there I couldn't make it past the gate as I was caught in a crowd who had gathered to watch Nam-Jean himself being taken away by the Prince Bang-Won with his son and that bitch in tow along with her brother. I had been around them as much as I could...this time I as only a little further from them as usual but I had sensed that as soon as his father was chained up...everything had changed between them. They...they only had eyes for each other, hands for each other and they were once again in synchronisation that I couldn't compete with. I thought that being his childhood friend I knew everything there was to know about him but I didn't take into consideration how close he was to these low-borns...that when I finally saw how close they were. He wasn't letting her out of her sight, not even when her brother or any of the guards came anywhere near her. I followed them on foot and tried to call out ti them but no-one heard me, no-one saw me and no-one asked for my help. But when I saw him in that huge crowd surrounded my palace guards, his old and new friends and her...trying to couch her in an intimate manner only fit for a married couple...and I wasn't a part of it I lost my mind ad I tried to get through the crowd to bring her down. I already knew she was the reason for all of this but as soon as I could lay my hand on her dress she recognised me and sent a knowing look at the 2 kidneys that were with her brother and another man with short hair. They returned the same look before making their way towards me...and they grabbed me, put something over my head and pushed me towards a guard with a sword as he threw mover his shoulder and took me on a long journey on foot before throwing me into a room flat on my bottom and leaving me there with my hands tied up for hours on end until I was approached by those two kiseng bitches that put me in here in the first place as if I was a damned slave or something. I have never in my life been treated like this so I screamed and cried until I passed out...only to wake up when some bitch poured cold water on my face.
