"Your Highness, the Empress,"

As soon as the conversation was over, Court Lady Yoon hurriedly brought out her words, but,

"I'm done with what I have to say, so get out."

Sa Heon-young stopped the conversation and got up.

The conversation is over. Court Lady Yoon knew that this was the last time. She also realized that she had just returned alive from the brink of death.

No, she can't go back like this.

Court Lady Yoon remembered the Empress.

To Court Lady Yoon, the Empress was like her older sister. The person who gave her a childlike existence. The Empress was harsh on her, but she always believed in her. She was always the one on the same boat.

The Empress would be enraged to learn that Court Lady Yoon thought of the Empress as her older sister. The Empress was a noble person, and she treated Court Lady Yoon thoroughly as a subordinate of lowly status. However, for Court Lady Yoon the Empress was not always a stranger. Court Lady Yoon had sacrificed her life for the Empress.

"Your Highness! King Mun,......Crown, Crown Prince! I beg of you. Please, please let this lowly woman serve the Empress!"

It's inhuman to inflict such a terrible punishment. Who can take care of the Empress, who neither lived nor died? There is only one in heaven and earth.

Sa Heon-young burst into laughter as Court Lady Yoon banged her head on the floor over and over again.

"Try until your head breaks. Will my heart move?"

He meant it.

Court Lady Yoon gasped for breath. Even if her own head breaks here, King Mun, no, the Crown Prince's heart will not move.

There was only one thing in Court Lady Yoon's mind that could move him.

'I will never meet Lord Heon-young again......?'

The woman who asked her that. She says she's okay to die if she can't meet him. If Court Lady Yoon puts the condition of that woman just wants to sleep while refusing food, maybe.......

But. Court Lady Yoon bit her lip.

Is it right for her to return the woman to Sa Heon-yeong, who is now the Crown Prince, who will soon ascend the throne?

In just a few weeks, Sa Heon-young went crazy like this. He renounced humanity in the woman's death and committed treason. It was only a few weeks. But if she gives the woman back, and after a few years, what will happen then? Will this country be okay? If that woman grabs Sa Heon-yeong's heart, shakes it, and controls the country.......

Court Lady Yoon knows that the woman was not that person. But people change! In the end, didn't even Sa Heon-yeong change like that?

Can Cort Lady Yoon give the woman back? Can she return the woman when thinking of the rivers and mountains of this country? Rather separating them now, no matter how painful or difficult it may be, this is the opportunity God gave her, and,

"Guards."

The moment Sa Heon-yeong was about to call the guards, Court Lady Yoon shouted without realizing it.

"If!"

Sa Heon-young looked back at her slowly. Indifferent eyes. Looking into the eyes, Court Lady Yoon asked pleadingly.

"If this, this lowly woman, the, the Queen,"

"...... ."

"If I bring......."

Sa Heon-young's gaze changed in an instant. His eyes were burning until now.

Frightened of the stride, Court Lady Yoon barely resisted the desire to step back. Sa Heon-yeong knelt down on one knee and made eye contact with her. And pushed his face.

He looked into Court Lady Yoon's eyes. As if checking what was in her eyes.

"Bring her?"

"Yes, if this lowly person brings, brings her, will...... will this lowly woman be able to serve the Empress? ... Keugh."

Sa Heon-yeong's large hand grabbed Court Lady Yoon's wrinkled neck.

"It was you. You were the one who stole my wife."

She couldn't breathe. Court Lady Yoon opened her eyes. It felt like her neck was about to break. She was in burning pain. Your Highness....... She moved her mouth, but the furious Sa Heon-yeong couldn't hear her.

"What have you done with my wife? Where did you take that poor woman? Where did you hide her? Even the body, the body...... !"

How far should he swore at her, to make him feel better!

I will kill you. When the blue veins stood on the back of Sa Heon-yeong's hand.

Court Lady Yoon said, strainingly, squeezing out the strength of her chests.

"She, she is alive......."

Bump, Sa Heon-young's hands lost strength. Court Lady Yoon fell to the floor.

"What?"

Sa Heon-yeong opened his eyes wide.

He couldn't believe it. No, that's a lie. That's a lie. He can't believe it. Sa Heon-yeong shook his head. He heard it wrong. Don't listen to it. He shook his head again. He can't expect it. He can't stand it this time. Don't expect it. Never, never. She is dead. If she was alive, how could she not come back to his arms? She's dead. She died. Don't expect it. He heard it wrong.

"She, cough, is alive.."

If he was betrayed by his expectations again, his heart will burst and he will die.

Rather, Sa Heon-young sincerely hoped for this moment.
