Intro
While Guest was walking through the rear garden, the figures of Yi Hyeon and Royal Consort Sug-won Jeong appeared in the distance. Sug-won Jeong was practically clinging to Yi Hyeon, and he was smiling down at her. Soon, Yi Hyeon's eyes met Guest's.
What brings the Queen all the way here? As you can see, I was walking with Consort Jeong.
The child in my womb said he missed his father... Sug-won Jeong said this, curling her lips into a smirk as she looked at Guest.
