Yeon Woo, who had unintentionally eavesdropped on the Crown Prince’s conversation, knew that if her eavesdropping was revealed, she might face severe punishment.
In a place where she shouldn’t have been, Yeon Woo cautiously tried to leave her spot. At that moment, the conversation between the two men continued.
“You won’t get a second chance. Next time, bring me the head of Gwangho Army without fail.”
“Yes, Mama.”
Caught off guard by Geon’s military title suddenly mentioned, Yeon Woo’s body stiffened.
“Bring me the head of Gwangho Army? Then, could it be that the person who sent the assassin last time is the Crown Prince?”
Yeon Woo covered her mouth with her palm to suppress the exclamation that almost slipped out.
“In that case, is the person next to him the assassin? The assassin must be someone from the palace, right? Who could it be?”
Numerous speculations tangled and weaved in Yeon Woo’s mind.
At that moment, footsteps were heard from beyond the wall. It seemed like they were finishing their conversation and leaving.
As the sound gradually faded, Yeon Woo cautiously peeked her head over the wall.
“Ah!”
Yeon Woo gasped in surprise.
Although Hwan had left the courtyard, the person with whom Hwan was conversing beyond the wall was not leaving nearby. Yeon Woo hadn’t been discovered yet, but that wasn’t the issue.
On the right eye of the man who conversed with Hwan, there was a long scar, a trace from a recent encounter with the leader of the assassins during the tiger hunting expedition.
“He, he’s alive?”
It was unclear how he survived a blow to the vital spot.
Sensing someone approaching, the man turned around. Yeon Woo desperately hid herself.
“Who’s there?!”
“…”
Yeon Woo pressed her body against the wall, but the man who had already sensed her presence approached her step by step. The man’s hand touched the hilt of Hwan’s sword at his waist.
—Sleek.
The man’s sword gleamed as it was revealed between the scabbards.
The man, as if to imply that he would cut down the eavesdropper soon, emanated a sharp aura as he approached Yeon Woo.
“What should I do…!”
The conversation between the two men was about an assassination attempt on Gwangho Army, and if it was revealed that she had overheard it, her life might not be spared.
Moreover, running away within this compound would be futile, and Yeon Woo, who didn’t know the layout of the palace, would easily be caught.
In search of an immediate hiding place, she looked around, but the distance was too far.
Cold sweat began to trickle down Yeon Woo’s back.
With the man about to reach her in the narrow gap, suddenly, without a sound, another presence approached Yeon Woo and covered her mouth.
“Hup!”
Simultaneously, a broad and firm chest touched Yeon Woo’s back, and the familiar scent of a beast wafted to her nose.
As if trying to reassure her, the owner of the scent turned her face gently with his large hand.
“Gwangho Army’s Lady…”
Confirming Geon behind her, Yeon Woo lowered the hand that was covering her mouth.
How could his presence make her feel so relieved? The tension that had frozen Yeon Woo’s entire body quickly dissipated.
Shortly after, sensing another presence approaching from around the corner, Geon grabbed Yeon Woo and pulled her behind him.
Yeon Woo’s small body was completely shielded by Geon’s slender back.
When Geon brought his hand to Hwan’s sword hilt at his waist, a man appeared from around the corner.
“…”
“…”
The gaze of the two men shook as they met unexpectedly. The hands that were reaching for Hwan’s sword hilt had returned to their original positions.
Geon spoke with his characteristic blunt and cold voice, “Aren’t you Kim Tae-seok, the undercover agent of Myegeumwi?”
“…Nice to see you again, Lord Gwangho.”
Yeon Woo’s heart began to race.
—He must have disguised his voice, but it seems I missed it.
The man’s voice precisely matched the one Yeon Woo heard during the tiger hunt, the voice of the leader of the assassins known as Salsu.
The identity of the Salsu leader seemed to be Kim Tae-seok, an undercover agent belonging to Myegeumwi.
As soon as Kim Tae-seok noticed Geon, he concealed his aura in an instant. However, he couldn’t deceive Geon, who had sensed his aura early on.
“I didn’t expect to meet you, Lord Gwangho, in a place like this.”
Without suppressing his aura, Geon coldly exposed Kim Tae-seok. Sharp eyes pierced through Kim Tae-seok’s body like ice.
Feeling oppressed by Geon’s cold aura, Kim Tae-seok tried to change the subject, looking at the tiger skin draped over Geon’s shoulders.
“…Is this the tiger you hunted, Lord Gwangho?”
“Yes.”
“Half a Baekgwan seems to be a piece of cake for you. It’s truly extraordinary to handle the task that should be done by several Chakhos alone.”
“I merely followed His Highness’s orders.”
After exchanging a few formal words, the two men concluded their brief conversation.
After finishing the conversation, Kim Tae-seok offered a bow and left.
When Kim Tae-seok was far enough not to be seen, Geon called Yeon Woo.
“It’s okay now.”
“…”
