SIDESTORY - CHAPTER 10
The imperial palace was uncomfortable and terrifying, however knowing that Haewoon was beside her made Eunseol at ease and she fell into the temptation of doing lewd things in the Emperor’s bedroom. She couldn't resist it and afterwards fell asleep.
Haewoon covered Eunseol with a blanket and hugged her tightly. The court ladies then entered holding a jar of warm water and clean cloth. As he got up, the court ladies approached him and knelt on the floor.
“Take care of my wife first.”
The court ladies, who quickly got up from their knees, went up to the bed and set a curtain to cover it. The door opened as Haewoon was coming out of the veil. In front of him, Yoon was waiting beside his armor. He looked at Haewoon’s naked body without hesitation and smiled broadly.
[TN: Well, I couldn’t blame him, If I were him I might even jump at him haha]
"Forgive me for asking her here without your permission."
"Do you think it's okay to test her?" Haewoon asked, as if he was not someone who was serving the emperor. He was like a master who called him out coldly.
A rustling sound came from behind the curtains as the court ladies busily wiped Eunseol’s body. Haewoon sat down on the group of chairs in front of the table.
“I was just wondering if you would give in to temptation and how long you would hold out.”
“The Emperor has been curious since you were young.”
"Yes. My teacher also said that I would die early."
Yoon smiled and poured water into an empty glass. He handed it over to Haewoon. There was no difference between Haewoon's child and Baegun's [wife of the emperor] child. He was convinced that Baegun's child was not his son which made the emperor even angrier.
“Don’t go overboard. Don’t you already have a son that will replace you?”
Despite the harsh sound, Yoon only smiled broadly.
As the years went by, the once young and clumsy emperor had grown into a man who could hide his inner feelings.
Haewoon clenched his chin and looked at Yoon indifferently.
“If your first child is a girl, give it to me. "
“Nonsense.”
Yoon was angry at the fact that no one chose him, even his father Seonhwang did not choose him as the next emperor. It was Haewoon, a stranger at the very least. Perhaps in Yoon's eyes, being tied up with Haewoon no matter what aspect, would be more meaningful than anything else.
He wanted to be his family somehow, however the only thing that will make that possible is for an arranged marriage. Yoon was more curious about the child in Eunseol’s belly than his numerous children.
"I will raise your son as my successor so give me your son."
“No matter what you say you cannot be the father of my children. ”
Yoon frowned. “But it’s what’s going to happen.”
"Ha.”
Yoon smiled briefly, a face that meant that Haewoon was in trouble.
Yoon wanted to laugh out loud at the mere thought of a child from Haewoon, who was more blood-like than his biological father, coming into this desolate imperial palace.
Yoon also liked Eunseol. When he met her, he realized that she was a stronger woman than he had heard and thought, so he had to admit that Haewoon had found a precious companion.
‘But I like her too.’
So Yoon guaranteed that it would happen somehow
