A Kind Goblin’s Bird - Chapter 101

The Crown Prince glanced back at her as he stepped out of the bedroom while the Crown Princess bit her lip.

Her spine got chills.

‘I am the one who knows your secret, Your Highness.’

The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes as the Crown Princess barely squeezed her voice. The threat that wasn’t like the Crown Princess seemed a little funny. He said languidly.

‘The easiest way to shut a person’s mouth is to make that person not a human, whether a fish or a tree.’

Astonished, the Crown Princess stepped back from him, and the Crown Prince tilted his head to one side.

‘I am keeping an eye on your child.’

‘…….’

‘Whether First Concubine Seo’s child or Second Concubine Geum’s child that will become the next emperor, I am not very interested. Do you know what I mean?’

The cost of one threat was great. The threat she threw for the first time in her life returned as a huge shackle.

She thought he was a good man, different from her former husband. His face is the same, but the inside is very different, so she may have been a little shaken.

‘I, I will deeply, engrave it in my heart.’

But after all, they were brothers. Somewhere between them was distorted like a monster. In a different way from her former husband, the man in front of her was also twisted.

‘Good.’

The Crown Prince left the Crown Princess’ quarters with a cold attitude. The Crown Princess saw him off in accordance with the rules, and she sat down on the floor.

She was in a cold sweat. She was told that her former husband was locked up in a dungeon. Become a fish, or become a tree like her mother-in-law? Either way she got goosebumps.

Recalling what happened then, the Crown Princess gave First Concubine Seo a gentle smile.

“The main palace has already made a statement. Even if the concubinage appeals to the main palace, it is only one opinion, so the Crown Prince still seems to have doubts. Well, what if First Concubinage Seo takes a look?”

‘Whether First Concubine Seo’s child becomes the next emperor.’

The Crown Princess turned her head and curled her eyes beautifully to Second Concubine Geum.

“It would be better if Second Concubine Geum went with First Concubine Seo. The power of blood cannot be ignored.”

‘Whether Second Concubine Geum’s child becomes the next emperor.’

Whether it be fish or tree, how many people won’t make it to protect their son?

This is a place where people who are good and weak are just trampled on and bitten. A place where only the victor can live like a human being.

Not only herself, but her son’s life was also at stake. If so, who can’t be a devil or anything? Just as the Crown Prince, Sa Heon-yeong, became a goblin to protect his woman, she will also become a devil to protect her son.

The Crown Princess smiled kindly at Second Concubine Geum and First Concubine Seo. Shall we do that, Your Highness? First Concubine Seo responded meekly, not even thinking that the Crown Princess had dug a trap.

Her voice sounds a little distant. She thought it was probably because she had strayed from the human path she once was.

The Crown Prince stayed in a place called Hyeonran Palace while the quarters were remodeled.

The former palace of the Empress Dowager was located at the end of the concubinage. It was far from anywhere in the concubinage, especially from the east palace. Moreover, the Empress Dowager was very reluctant with people, so a fairly deep and wide moat was built around the palace.

Hyeonran Palace could only be reached by crossing a bridge.

The Crown Prince set up a sentry around the moat of Hyeonran Palace. It was in the name of the guest’s safety. But it was only nominal. Who will harm the Crown Prince’s ‘guest’? Even within the Imperial Palace?

He is the Crown Prince who is notorious for his unfailing power and his cruel disposition. Just because he’s grown up doesn’t mean he’s finished doing a lot of things, but who would dare raise a finger at his guest?

So it was really weird. Why did the Crown Prince set up an impenetrable guard at Hyeonran Palace? Is it to be wary of people coming in from the outside, or is it a concern that the ‘guest’ inside will go out?

Perhaps only the Crown Prince himself would know.

Note:

So this scene was conversations between the Crown Prince’s concubines. I named the First and Second not due to their order, but actually meant their ranks. But First Rank Concubine and Second Rank Concubine sounds really odd >.<
