A Kind Goblin’s Bird - Chapter 57

Without even going to the accessories, it seemed that the price of that idiot’s pair of shoes would be more than enough to buy all of Song Rayang’s own accessories. Her eyes were wide open.

“That…… I, I wish to speak alone. It’s been a while, and I have a story I want to share with my family.”

Song Geun-ryang said cautiously. The Queen, who appeared with the maids, did not even look at him, and smiled sullenly at Ha Soye.

Young-young bit the inside of her lip as she looked at her father who appeared. She came when she heard that her father came. But not only the father, but also the Madam, the lady, and the man. Even if he beat her, he was still her father. 

But she was terrified of the rest. She especially hated that man. The sister’s husband. He always looked at Young-young with strange eyes. His eyes were still strange.

She wants to run away.

“Jaeran.”

When the Queen called, Jaeran quickly gave her ear. Jaeran must have been in a bad mood, and it was because she had seen the wounds on the Queen’s body while serving her. Who would have hurt her body? It must have been a member of her family.

“Yes, Your Highness. It’s Jaeran. Please say it.”

Jaeran comforted Young-young with a sweet voice, which the Queen liked. Young-young was a little worried about what to do, then whispered to Jaeran.

“That…… When is Lord Heon-yeong coming?”

“It will take some time for him to leave.”

“Is that so?”

The Queen’s face darkened. Oh no. Jaeran clicked her tongue inside. When is King Mun coming? The butler contacted the Imperial Palace as soon as the people of the family arrived, but they didn’t know when the king would come. Of course, though he cares for this innocent Queen breathlessly.

“Jaeran, I think I’m going to say something that’ll be sorry for Her Highness to hear.”

With Ha Soye’s words, Jaeran quickly smiled and said, “Your Highness, will you excuse me for a moment?” and covered the Queen’s both ears. Huh? The Queen sitting in the chair looked up at Jaeran standing behind her with a puzzled look. It’s alright. While Jaeran spoke only through the shape of her mouth, Ha Soye turned her gaze to Song Geun-ryang.

“Everyone here serves the Queen. In other words, we know what kind of scars are on Her Highness’ body.”

In Ha Soye’s blade-like tone, Song Geun-ryang inhaled and swallowed his breath. Ha Soye raised her lips.

“Be alone in your dreams. It is never possible in the imperial family. Do you understand?”

Ha Soye’s spirit was terrifying. If it had been the usual Song Geun-ryang, he wouldn’t have been able to make a click. But Song Geun-ryang instinctively knew that this opportunity would be the last. This is the last time. After this moment, he will no longer be able to access the woman. Then the chance to shut her mouth is gone.

“I, I am the Queen’s biological father. I will see her alone.”

“I didn’t know the father was such a great thing.”

Even if they melted the winter north wind and made it into a sword, it would be less cold than this. Everyone turned their heads at the hoarse voice. The moment they saw the tall man in the red goblin mask standing by the door, Song Geun-ryang’s heart pounded.

As people turned their gazes, Young-young also looked away and smiled brightly. It was Sa Heon-yeong. She doesn’t know why he came so early because he doesn’t usually leave before the sun goes down, but she was really happy. 

Young-young shook off Jaeran’s hand and ran.

Huh…… ?

Sa Heon-yeong embraced Young-young, who was running with a half willing heart and half a puzzled heart. She is always happy with him, but today the feeling was a little different. Young-young seemed to want to pretend she was okay, but her hands were shaking. 

Sa Heon-yeong smiled softly as she grabbed his collar and couldn’t let it go. He hugged her tenderly and whispered in her ear.

“Didn’t I tell you that you should never meet your family? It’s sad that you broke your promise after making it.”

At that, Young-young raised her head.

“Oh, no, I didn’t come to see them.”

“But you still met them? You said that you will be my own wife.”

His voice was so sweet that it seemed poisonous. The maids immediately knelt on their knees and trembled, while the escorts desperately watched the master’s mood. The atmosphere was transmitted to the uninvited guests who did not know what it was, and even the arrogant Song Rayang shrugged her shoulders.
