A Kind Goblin's Bird - Chapter 92
It is unknown where Sa Heon-yeong’s favor will go in the future. There will probably be nothing between him and her sacrificial dedication. Even if no one knows, they are clearly a brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
No one knew between a man and a woman, but the Crown Princess was sure. There is nothing between them. How could she have feelings for her brother-in-law, who had the same face as her cruel husband?
Likewise, her brother-in-law sees no one as a woman except for his own wife, which has been lost.
So it was comfortable and nice. The Crown Princess was fed up with the man who abused her body. She was terrified of being owned by someone. So she wanted to stay like this for a long time.
Then this brother-in-law must hold on even though it is painful, but he is precarious as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
“Wife, didn’t I say I’d be alone?”
With Sa Heon-yeong’s words, the Crown Princess sighed.
“I’ll take my leave, Your Highness.”
She bowed in accordance with the rules and strode past, standing next to Court Lady Yoon, who was kneeling on her knees.
“The concubinage now belongs to the main palace. The Crown Princess is the one who rules this palace. Court Lady Yoon, it would be better for you to keep your conduct straight.”
“…… If so, does Her Highness know?”
Court Lady Yoon asked with a trembling voice.
She realized the moment she entered. It was enough for her to see the Crown Prince’s face from afar. He wasn’t the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince doesn’t have such an upright posture, and he doesn’t even have deep eyes. Court Lady YOon has been taking care of him since he was born.
How could she not know? She rejected him, but she always watched him.
“You can’t behave properly. It’s really unfortunate.”
The Crown Princess clicked her tongue and passed her. It was no different than foretelling her persecution in the concubinage.
Court Lady Yoon looked back at the Crown Princess, who was moving away from her, and turned her gaze back to the Crown Prince, Sa Heon-yeong.
Meanwhile, Court Lady Yoon didn’t say anything. Eventually, when everyone retreated and the two of them were left alone, she looked up at Sa Heon-yeong with her unbelieving eyes.
“Your Highness.”
“…….”
“Your Highness, who has always been clear and lucid in understanding and faithful to the country, the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, why have you come to such a deplorable state?”
Court Lady Yoon asked directly.
It was such a cold question. Sa Heon-young smiled brightly. That’s weird. After he breaks the goblin’s mask and puts on the Crown Prince’s mask, he feels more distant from human nature. No matter what kind of story he hears, he can only laugh languidly. How can he be called a human being?
“My wife was murdered, Court Lady Yoon.”
“Your Highness……, no matter how,”
No matter how? Sa Heon-yeong asked coldly, and Court Lady Yoon hurriedly shut her mouth. She knew well that Sa Heon-young hated her, but had she ever seen him with such cold eyes?
She was appalled. Court Lady Yoon suddenly had a foreboding. If she said something wrong, today could be her funeral day.
Sa Heon-young said quietly.
“Yes, she’s just a goblin’s woman to you.”
Court Lady Yoon’s eyes widened. SSa Heon-yeong laughed a little and she spoke.
“For the Crown Prince, she must have been a female brought from somewhere, and for Mother, she must have been a bird that grants wishes. But for me.”
“…….”
“For me, she was a precious person that cannot be replaced even with the position of a heavenly ruler.”
Sa Heon-yeong slowly stood up from his seat.
His tears dried up. He could feel the tears of blood flowing from his chest, but strangely, only a smirk flowed from his lips. He really looked like a crazy person. Sa Heon-young laughed again. Really. He’d rather be a little less unhappy.
“She was my one whole world..”
“…… Your Highness…….”
“Since my world is gone, it’s dark and I can no longer see loyalty and filial. All I can see is the face of the red goblin.”
