At the sudden intrusion of a man’s voice, Eunseol and Geumok turned around simultaneously.
A man in a bluish robe, carrying a bundle on his back, approached them with a bright smile. Taller than ordinary men, with fair skin that outshone his colorful attire, his face was charming enough to overshadow his splendid clothing.
His finely shaped eyes, gently curving eyebrows, and a smiling mouth that went up on both sides suited his low-toned voice perfectly. He casually followed the flying flower petals with his gaze.
“Contrary to what you may think, the lord enjoys flowers. Especially plum blossoms and forsythias.”
The man, catching the flying plum blossom petals with his hand, smiled faintly.
His appearance felt as warm as the spring sunlight.
“Hello, Lord Daegam.”
Geumok, who had been standing not far away, approached with quick steps and greeted the man.
Looking at his face, it seemed like she recognized the man in front of her.
With a faint smile on his lips, the man turned his gaze.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Aren’t you Lord Seongwon? I’ve seen you a few times at the palace.”
“I must be a memorable face.”
“Well, yes.”
He playfully threw a joke and approached Eunseol to greet her.
Eunseol, feeling he was too close, took a step back.
“It’s nice to meet you. I am Lord Seongwon. It must be the first time for me to meet you, Madam.”
So, this man is Lord Seongwon.
It was the first time she had seen Seongwon in person, but she vaguely remembered hearing stories from the servants.
Hyebin’s son, Lord Seongwon, had left the palace early due to the king’s displeasure and got married a few years ago at a relatively late age.
She didn’t know why he fell out of favor with the king, but he seemed different from the rumors.
With a smiling face and a warm voice, he was a man who, for some reason, made her feel uncomfortable and cold.
“You went hunting, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I went a while ago, and it’s going to take a few days.”
“Isn’t that too much? You’ve been married for a while, and you leave your house empty for days. May I say something?”
“Yes?”
“Haha… just kidding.”
He, with a slight raise of his lips, approached her.
There was a subtle scent of ink emanating from him.
“Would you like to go to the training ground now? Forsythias must be in full bloom. If you go, I’ll guide you.”
Speaking in a low voice, his eyes stared at her without a tremor.
Feeling that the man who suddenly approached was too close, she took a step aside and said, “I’ll… go later.”
“Well, do as you please. But you should hurry a bit. Forsythias are flowers that wither quickly.”
“…Yes.”
She wanted to see the forsythias she had never seen before.
If it was a flower he liked, it would surely be elegant and beautiful.
“Do you happen to have any preferences? For example, books or something you enjoy?”
“Our lady enjoys drawing.”
A bit away, Geumok, touching the lotus leaves floating in the pond, spoke.
Geumok stood up, shook the water off her hands, and looked in their direction.
“Our lady not only enjoys reading books but is also very good at drawing. Isn’t that right, my lady?”
Caught off guard by Seongwon’s abrupt question about her preferences, she lost words, glancing between Geumok and him.
“So, you enjoy drawing. I’d love to see my sister-in-law’s drawings someday.”
“The child is just saying things. It’s not something to show off.”
“Anyway, you enjoy drawing, don’t you?”
He was truly a strange man.
Warm and charming in a way, yet somehow cold, playful yet with a firm gaze that held depth.
His eloquent words were enough to captivate her soul.
In short, Lord Seongwon was a cheerful man.
He treated her and Geumok equally casually.
Perhaps that was why the initial discomfort quickly disappeared. For the first time in a while, she could laugh comfortably without any reservations.
While Seongwon was enthusiastically chatting, his gaze stopped at one place.
Turning her head following his gaze, she momentarily felt her breath catch.
Not far away, Jinheon Dae-gun, always dazzling and beautiful, was approaching them.
Judging from his attire, it seemed like he was returning from hunting.
He fixed his gaze on her and handed the black fox he was carrying to Seoryeom.
In his unwavering eyes, a cold anger and resentment seemed to be present, making me involuntarily avert my gaze.
Feeling the strange atmosphere, Seongwon cleared his throat and called to Dae-gun.
“Brother, you said it would take a few days, but you came early.”
“What’s going on with you again?”
“Disappointingly, you’re saying that to your younger brother who came to see the brother who got married. And, didn’t you ask me to take you when you go hunting?”
“Do you think hunting is the same as going for a walk in the back hills?”
“Why are you like this? If I decide to hunt seriously, I can catch at least a rabbit, even if it’s not a tiger.”
“You? Try shooting with a bow and then talk.”
For a moment, his gaze lingered on her, but soon he turned his head and left as if there was nothing more to see.
She swallowed a sigh without saying a word.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
