She had spent seven years revisiting the memory of their first meeting and examining it until it was worn thin.
“Most people call me Your Highness.”
Then, one day, something she had never dared to hope for came to pass.
She became the Crown Princess.
“Court Lady Kim, open the door.”
The voice of the man she had dreamed of pierced Sonyeong’s ears. But it was nothing like the voice she had longed to hear. It was low and cold, trembling with barely contained fury. Now that she was no longer alone, a different kind of trembling seized her and her gaze wavered.

“Leave that door open and watch closely what I do to this wench.”
“Y-Your Highness!”

Sonyeong froze at the scorn in his voice, her eyes widening in shock.
