“Milady....”
“Yeah?”
“What are you going to do?”
“About what?”
“At this rate, whether it’s as a Crown Princess or a prince’s consort, you’re going to end up staying in the palace either way. So what are you planning to do?”
No matter how things played out, Hwayeong was almost certainly going to end up stuck in the palace.
Faced with a fate she’d never even imagined, Sohwa asked the only question that mattered—‘what now?’
Hwayeong frowned thoughtfully.
“Well... I guess being the Crown Princess is better than just a prince’s consort anyway, right?”
If she was going to get dragged into it, might as well aim higher.
Her tone was so offhanded, Sohwa had to swallow a scream and force herself to speak evenly.
“So... are you going to stay at the palace?”
When Hwayeong kept dancing around the issue, Sohwa decided to ask her directly—cutting to the heart of it.
But Hwayeong just looked off to the side and dodged the question again.
