The warm sunlight poured down on the hunting ground. In the hunting ground, Prince Hwan and Minister Uuijeong Minsangju were aiming their bows at the prey. Minsangju, with his sharp eyes and a scruffy appearance, had a temperament etched on his face. Having protected the powerless Prince Iyul from the relatives of the former king during the time when King Iyul was a prince, Minsangju played a significant role in placing him on the throne.
As the maternal uncle of Princess Huigyeong and an uncle-in-law to Hwan, Minsangju’s influence was far-reaching, and it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was the real power behind the scenes. Minsangju, pulling the bowstring with force, spoke.
“How did the previous hunt go?”
Although he addressed Hwan, his experienced gaze was directed towards a deer hiding in the grass.
―Thwang!
Without hesitation, the arrow flew and hit the target. The deer, struck in the heart by the arrow, screamed and collapsed.
Minsangju calmly continued speaking.
“You mentioned needing a skilled hunting dog, and one was borrowed, but I haven’t heard any good news.”
“…….”
“Could it be that you missed your prey?”
It was an insolent question when dealing with the Crown Prince.
Hwan remained silent, only biting his lips. He continued to aim at a rabbit, busy pulling the bowstring and tearing off the grass.
There was no place in Joseon where Minsangju’s influence didn’t reach. Even Crown Prince Iyul couldn’t treat him lightly.
The situation was no different for Hwan; Minsangju had been a formidable presence since Hwan was young.
The eerie aura emanating from Minsangju, along with his scruffy eyes, made Hwan feel like a puppy in front of a tiger every time they made eye contact.
This feeling persisted until the day Hwan received the title of Crown Prince and performed the duties of a regent, and Hwan found Minsangju to be a difficult and uncomfortable figure.
At that moment, Hwan’s arrow flew towards the target.
―Pwoong!
Hwan’s arrow missed the target, falling to the ground. The rabbit, sensing danger, quickly fled into the grass.
Hwan kicked the arrow he was holding to the ground.
He excused himself, blaming the tool.
“The bow is defective.”
Seeing Hwan blaming his equipment, Minsangju clicked his tongue and chuckled.
“You made a mistake in your posture. Your heart is not firm, causing your arm to shake, and with a shaky arm, the arrow deviates from the target.”
“My posture has never been wrong.”
“With such a weak mindset, how do you expect to achieve great feats? Did the last hunt also end in failure like this?”
“Your Grace! Be careful with your words!”
Hwan raised his voice.
“Although Your Grace is my uncle, you are a subject, and I am the Crown Prince who will become the king!”
Despite Hwan’s warning, Minsangju, with a calm and composed tone, responded.
“If you want to be a king, you should behave more appropriately.”
As Minsangju gazed at him with a stern eye, Hwan once again felt overwhelmed. Unable to say anything, he closed his mouth. At that moment, Minsangju’s eyes narrowed.
His gaze moved slightly away from where they were standing.
“It seems the hunting dog is returning just in time.”
Shortly afterward, a man approached the two. The man had a wound on his right eye, and he was the leader of the Salsoo who had attacked Yeonwoo’s group during the recent tiger hunt.
With injuries covering his body, it was a miracle that he was alive.
The man, barely supporting himself on two legs, approached and kneeled in front of the two.
“Ap, apologize. I definitely shot an arrow towards the heart, but it disappeared…….!”
“Disappeared?”
As the severity in Minsangju’s voice permeated, the man’s body pressed down as if frozen like ice.
“Yes, and a soldier I hadn’t seen before……”
“Did you mean to say he disappeared without a trace?”
Ignoring the man’s words, Minsangju took an arrow from the quiver and continued speaking.
“You say you have a newborn child. I wouldn’t mind poking my eye even if I see it.”
“Yes…?”
In an unsettling atmosphere, the man raised his head. Then, Minsangju aimed an arrow at the man’s head.
The man’s gaze shook with fear.
“Y-Your Grace…!”
Without any persuasion, the arrow left Minsangju’s hand, flying towards the man.
―Thwang!
A silent scream dispersed into the air.
The flying arrow, brushing past the man’s face, embedded itself in the muddy ground.
From the wound inflicted by the arrow, a red line of blood flowed, and his body began to tremble like a leaf in the wind.
Minsangju murmured softly.
“If you fail twice, the next arrow will be for your newborn child. Make sure to cut off that beast’s lifeline.”
“…I will accept the mission.”
The man bowed his head so low that his forehead touched the ground.
Minsangju shifted his gaze away from the man and looked at Hwan.
“To survive, you must devour. That’s how you stay alive.”
“…….”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
