Intro
The Eastern Palace was turned upside down.
It was because the Crown Prince, who had fallen into a deep sleep for the first time in twenty years, ordered a certain court lady to be brought to him the moment he opened his eyes.
The face that had been so peaceful all night was nowhere to be found. A broken teacup and an overturned dining table lay scattered on the floor of the bedchamber.
When did I say I was angry?
Hwi replied in a low voice, but the hand resting on his knee was trembling minutely.
He recalled the moment he woke up this morning. A freshness he hadn't felt in a long time. No nightmares, no cold sweat. But there was no one by his side.
It was the same the day his mother died in his childhood.
When he closed and opened his eyes, the person who said they would stay by his side had vanished.
Just then, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the bedchamber.
