Surviving the Romance Fantasy

The most difficult prison to escape from in the world is a prison without bars.

If you want to realize it, you have no choice but to jump out of there. The world was full of people who did not realize this paradox until their death.

“One time, while I was sitting at the tea table in a daze, your sister Seolran came and was very surprised. Was it last spring?”

I knew what happened without having to ask.

– ‘oh my god… womb… His Royal Highness… Have you been sitting still like this ever since you ate lunch? .’

A holiday without a schedule.

The crown prince said he had no intention of eating dinner and quietly entered the tea room.

When Seolran didn’t feel like anyone was there, she went into the tea room on her own, just in case.

No matter how much of a maid she was, she had disobeyed the crown prince’s orders. If done wrong, it could turn into a serious crime, but Seolran didn’t care about that.

However, the sight of the prince sitting alone in the tea room had an edge that stimulated people’s sense of crisis.

A man staring blankly into space.

On the table was a cold teacup that the maid had given her after lunch.

A flying insect was floating above it, as if it had never touched its mouth.

When it got dark, it was worth turning on the lantern, but Prince Hyeonwon, sitting quietly in the darkness, looked more like a soulless doll than a person.

Then, when you suddenly startle him and talk to him, he answers.

– ‘Why did you come in when you never asked?’

– ‘womb… His Royal Highness… .’

– ‘Go away.’

Usually, I just wipe away the goosebumps on my arms and quietly take a step back.

And they were whispering among the maids. The crown prince is strange. The person seems broken.

Although he looks fine on the outside, there clearly seems to be a crack somewhere in his heart.

After exchanging such gossip, she just quietly leads her life as a maid.

However, Seolran is the female protagonist of Heavenly Dragon Love Story.

She seems ordinary and simple, but at important moments, she reaches out to do things that ordinary people cannot do.

An extraordinary temperament is revealed when no one expects it.

– Quang!

Just like that, Seolran grabbed Prince Hyeonwon’s sleeves, pulled him up, and opened the window.

Even though it seemed like he was going to throw it out of the window, he just stepped on the support of the beam and climbed up onto the tile roof.

After that, he quickly motioned for Prince Hyeonwon to come up with him.

In front of the empty boy, there is only the scenery outside the window with a cold wind blowing in.

Seolran pulls the hand of the boy who has never experienced anything deviant in his life and leads him to the top of the tile roof.

“It was a view of Cheongdo Palace with cherry blossoms blooming under the moonlight.”

The day I first became aware of color in a world covered in colorless colors.

The day when Prince Hyeonwon first became conscious of the beauty of a world he could not attach a single word to.

Under that moonlight, the girl spoke while waving her arms.

– ‘majesty… Sorry, sorry… But I really wanted to show you. Well, this is the view I come up to and see every time I feel a little heartbroken or having a hard time… .’

– ‘… .’

– ‘When you’re blank and have nothing to do, how about looking at the world?’

The sight of a bright smile as if a flower is blooming.

– ‘Surprisingly, the world is quite beautiful if you look at it.’

– Tuk

There was a strange sense of comfort in the sight of Prince Hyeonwon smiling contentedly as he put down his drink.

“You made such a fuss to be sent to Cheonryongchae, so did you get along well there?”

“La, do you mean Sister Lan?”

“okay. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen your face, and suddenly I want to see you again.”

‘… .’

I took a drink and swallowed dry saliva.

“Yes, of course. As always, you are energetic and working hard… .”

In front of me, tell me to give some affection to the princesses of the four palaces… ?

They say it is the quality of a loyalist to not hold back on speaking frankly… .

I am… I wasn’t a person who wanted to commit suicide… .

“Once the work is finished, I wanted to tell you to return to your position as a star maid in the Crown Prince’s palace. Since you asked for a private treat, all I had to do was ask you to give it to me. “If it passes through the mouths of my subjects, useless gossip sticks out.”

“Well, if you say so, I will definitely tell you.”

“okay. The deputy general is truly trustworthy. “He is a talented person who can be considered a loyal subject even in the main palace where treacherous subjects run rampant.”

Prince Hyeonwon was not the type to speak out loud.

I am truly grateful that you think of it that way, but to be honest, it was a thorn in my side.

still… . I am Seol Tae-pyeong, a man who does what he can.

“His Royal Highness… Well, after the birthday ceremony is over, you will also have a coming-of-age ceremony… .”

“okay. My head hurts because I am constantly complaining that I should enter that damn concubine. “You just came into the meeting, so you know it well.”

Prince Hyeonwon spoke as if he were lamenting while taking a sip of his drink.

“There are too many poisonous snakes in the palace. “What should we do with these snakes who are so busy pursuing their own selfish desires?”

How should I get lucky?

Even if you bring in merchants who are famous for their tongues, it is not easy to speak frankly here.

It would be nice to have some justification… .

“His Royal Highness.”

At that time, the rope of salvation came down.

Beyond the paper gate, a servant with his head bowed was carefully raising his voice.

“The Queen Mother of Suzaku Palace has come to visit.”

“… .”

Lady In Ha-yeon… !

As soon as I heard that name, I felt like my ears perked up.

Certainly, as the most authoritative crown princess, she was the first to move to fulfill her duties.

okay… I believed it. Lady In Ha-yeon.

Looking at the timing, it was clear that he came to visit because he was worried after hearing that I was going to have a private meeting with Crown Prince Hyeonwon.

Now that things have come to this, wouldn’t it be a good idea to take the initiative and open up your face by giving a gift or even just chatting with each other?

No matter how prejudiced Prince Hyeonwon may be, if you talk to his wife In Ha-yeon privately a few times, you will quickly realize the size of the vessel.

“Tell him I don’t want to meet him.”

However, Crown Prince Hyeonwon personally planned to send away Queen In, who had come to Hoseon Palace.

At that sight, I couldn’t help but swallow my saliva.

“You’re trying to claim that you are my partner when you sit down with Jeongseon In-ga on your back. “If you talk alone, nothing good will come out of it.”

Because of Prince Hyeonwon’s gaze, which suddenly became cold, the expressions of his subjects only hardened.

I thought I should not miss this opportunity, so I quickly spoke up.

“I know that Lady In Ha-yeon, the owner of the palace, is not the kind of person who can be intoxicated with the power she has on her back and fall into vanity.”

“… .”

“I think it’s okay to try it alone at least once.”

I had to worry that just saying something like this would lead to people yelling at me for presumptuous meddling.

And, it was actually presumptuous meddling.

However, Prince Hyeonwon spoke to me in a more stable tone.

“Deputy General. I have no intention of doubting your vision, but please try to correct your thinking. “There is no one who has survived for many years in the political arena of Cheongdo Palace and not grown a snake in their stomach.”

“That is correct. but… .”

“There is no but. I already know what kind of person the queen is. I saw him on the podium several times during the Birthday Festival. Yes, that elegant appearance, like a masterpiece, may have the power to tempt people… That’s why I felt even more goosebumps.”

The people of this Cheongdo Palace are all snakes who hide their true feelings.

The impact of childhood memories on people is greater than you might think.

Prince Hyeonwon, who had an unhappy childhood, could not help but be caught up in such thoughts.

“Deputy General. You know it too. Do you really think that in the politics of this abominable Qingdao country, there exists a person who maintains his position with only a strong will and a loyal sense of justice?”

“… .”

“You, Deputy General, who speaks like this, are probably not empty-headed and ignorant of anything about politics. That’s why I find the sight of crown concubines who act noble and noble even more detestable.”

Even if a person holds a noble position, there is no guarantee that his inner thoughts are all dark.

I wanted to say that, but it was difficult to say it out loud.

Because, if it is not someone else but Prince Hyeonwon… Because it was understandable that they harbored such blind distrust.

Those childhood days of sitting alone in the prince’s palace in front of the calculating eyes of high-ranking officials would be a nightmare that would remain with him forever in his life.

“I am pure and pure as I am… “It touches my heart more.”

In a way, that was the reason why the crown prince of a country was swayed by Seolran, who was just a maid.

“Did you say Lady In Ha-yeon? “I have no intention of meeting someone like that fire fox.”

“… .”

“Like all the members of the Jeongseon family, they probably have hypocrisy in their hearts and act like they are noble masters. I have no intention of jumping into the company of vicious snake-like people. Rather, meeting only gives room. “The owner of that palace must be the same as the other Jeongseon clan’s independent servants.”

Then, he poured the drink into his mouth.

It seemed like no matter what mantra I told him, he would make up his mind and shake his head.

Saying anything more than this borders on stubbornness.

Rather, it would only be an act of going against Crown Prince Hyeonwon’s wishes and putting himself in a corner.

however.

“That may be a short thought. “His Royal Highness.”

At those words, all the nearby subjects froze.

Although it is said politely, it is blasphemous language.

Even though he is ranked 3rd in line, a military officer would question his insight in front of the crown prince of a country.

There was nothing to be gained, and it was a situation that everyone had to tear down.

Nonetheless, I spoke first.

“Even people from the Jeongseon clan do not all have the same size of bowl. “Because background does not completely represent a person, a person must be judged on his own merits.”

“You’ve become very cocky.”

“I want to tell you directly.”

Prince Hyeonwon, who was moderately drunk, narrowed his eyebrows.

Still, I sat still without moving my head even once.

It is nothing more than a rebellion, with nothing to gain politically.

No matter what dignitaries came, they would all hold out their tongues when they saw this situation.

“Well, your thinking is too naive. The person who killed In Chang-seok, the most famous general of the Jeongseon family, was Seol I-moon. Do you think the people of the Jeongseon family will think favorably of you, a person from the Hwayongseol family?”

“That’s something you don’t know.”

“Your origin has a greater influence than you think. It is clear that that person, In Ha-yeon, is also blaming you deep inside. However, your position may be too high to express it that way.”

Prince Hyeonwon smiled as he poured a new drink into his glass.

“All those who hold positions above the third rank are poisonous snakes. If you want to survive in this Cheongdo palace, think like that.”

“That is indeed true. However, there are always exceptions to the truth.”

I walked away from the drinking table, lowered my head, and bowed.

“Queen In Ha-yeon is a worthy woman who has not lost her nobility despite her noble position. Having worked as an internal medical examiner for a long time, I can tell you this with certainty.”

“… .”

“I know very well how justified your Royal Highness’s suspicions are. But, nevertheless, could you please lift your eyes of doubt just once?”

This is Prince Hyeonwon, whom I trust at least as much as I do.

So, I had to bet here.

It is a winning strategy that is carried out even if it involves profanity..

Please, I wanted you to know my sincerity.

“… .”

Nevertheless, Prince Hyeonwon closed his eyes and shook his head.

“You, too, still have some innocence left in you. Yes, that’s why I trust you.”

“His Royal Highness.”

“Go away. “I have no intention of dealing alone with the fire foxes in the concubine.”

Prince Hyeonwon’s heart had already completely left Seolran.

The way people look at companions determined by political logic has already become as cold as insects.

– Grumble

As soon as I opened the paper door and came out, I couldn’t help but tremble.

I made eye contact with Queen In, who was carrying a large Taeseong sword as a gift.

Only then did I realize why the blood had drained from the faces of my subjects.

Lady In had already entered the hallway and was waiting. Since she was the crown princess of a country, she would not have been so strict in blocking her.

However, as it was, he would be kicked out of the door without even being able to see Prince Hyeonwon’s face.

“… .”

I wondered if I had heard the conversation inside the paper gate, but now I wondered if it had any meaning.

After bowing quietly, I quickly walked out of Hoseon Palace. There was no point in making a fuss more than necessary.

The gaze of Queen In, who was looking at my back as if surprised, was stinging… It seemed better to leave the scene for now.

‘Prince Hyeonwon… It doesn’t seem like a reverse return… .’

Throughout the conversation, I never felt anything like a sense of discomfort.

I gathered my thoughts and headed towards the main palace.

I checked Prince Hyeonwon once… Now it was time to check the situation.

However, no matter how much the position of deputy general was, it was not easy to treat Emperor Unseong alone.

Reverse Return Search (3)

– ‘Look over there, it’s Queen In. As expected, you are full of elegance today.’

– ‘Even though she wields a sword with the body of a woman, she even has a dignified appearance while wearing palace robes. How can there be a woman like that in the world?’

– ‘I have never seen anyone in my entire life who is so worthy of the position of the owner of the palace and the most authoritative crown princess.’

Respect and favor.

These are the things reflected in the eyes that followed Lady In Ha-yeon throughout her life.

Queen In was burdened by those stares.

Although he never showed it once, he fought against the world’s expectations of him his entire life.

Staying up all night reading scriptures, swinging a sword whenever I have time, shooting an archery until late at night, learning tea ceremony, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and accumulating culture and virtue… I have never once felt tired.

The reason he was able to survive despite living such a harsh life was because of the pride he had in being part of the Jeongseon family.

Starting with his uncle In Chang-seok, numerous figures from the Jeongseon family made meritorious contributions to the country of Cheongdo, became heroes, and saved the people in grief.

He lived among noble and loyal people, thinking that he should also become a worthy person.

I have never in my entire life fallen asleep for more than half a day.

He floated on the water like a swan, splashing more violently than anyone else.

Because the environment was good, efforts were always rewarded.

however… How can life always go as planned?

The essence of life lies in irrationality. The life environment she enjoyed was too wealthy and affluent for her to realize that fact early on.

So, at some point, I had to realize that there are some things that cannot be achieved through effort.

– ‘Your Majesty… You’ve been standing outside for one o’clock… His Majesty the Crown Prince is also very heartless.’
