The Secret Night at Unyeon Palace (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 92

Late at night, Woon made his way to the underground prison cell where Song Mun Sik was confined.

The moment he descended into the underground cell, the stench of blood and the nauseating odor of rotting flesh assaulted his nostrils.

He walked toward the cell where Song Mun Sik was imprisoned and stood silently before its door.

Song Mun Sik, who had been collapsed on the floor, sensed someone’s presence and slowly opened his eyes.

Woon lazily tapped his fingertips against the cell door and cast a fierce glare at Song Mun Sik, lying inside.

Song Mun Sik, gasping for breath as he barely managed to sit up, fixed Woon with a murderous gaze.

His entire body was battered and bruised from the torture, and even sitting upright seemed to cause him excruciating pain.

Yet, as if defiantly refusing to yield to Woon, Song Mun Sik twisted his lips into a forced, bitter smile. In response, Woon openly sneered at him.

“There’s a saying: ‘Excess leads to failure.’ Because of your selfishness and greed, many people are suffering, aren’t they?”

“‘Excess leads to failure’—if anyone truly coveted the throne, it’s you, Grand Prince. That’s why you’ve gone to any lengths to remove me and Prince Seongwon, those thorns in your eye, isn’t it?”

“Chief State Councillor, I think you’re mistaken. Neither you nor Prince Seongwon are worthy rivals. Even without eliminating the two of you, I could ascend the throne anytime I wished. However, regrettably, I have no interest in that seat—I possess something far more precious than that.”

“Ha! Is that so? People are all the same—do you truly think you’re any different, just because you’re a Grand Prince?”

“Yes, I am different. So abandon such thoughts, and get some proper rest instead. Tomorrow’s sky you’ll see may well be your last—you ought to sleep deeply while you still can.”

Keeping his gaze fixed on Song Mun Sik, Woon turned to the prison guard standing at a distance and ordered,

“Watch him closely. The prisoner might attempt suicide—gag his mouth.”
