"What is the matter with you, wife? You have been awfully quiet ever since you returned from the kingdom with my daughter, she didn't even greet me for the first time in her life. Has something happened? She isn't one to stay in her room for this long, usually Hyuk does that and…" "Husband, far be it for me to complain about any of your plans, but I think that you might have overlooked something." I told my husband gently as I almost ran into his arms, horrifyingly reliving what just happened to my daughter when I went on a rare trip to the kingdom for resources for the embroidery house that fed us all. "What is the matter wife? Did something happen to my daughter? Was she harmed? Was she discovered? Damn it, I will have to talk to Hyuk and finally address this issue of him sneaking out at night…" "Husband! You have tuned your nephew into the spitting image of you in every way possible! How could you do that to your nephew and not your own son!" "What do you mean? Don't know how our son is? He will not let me use him for my means so I…" "Made my nephew a carbon copy of yourself to take back your friendship with my brother, I know that and I have never interfered in that decision. But that carbon copy of you…what if he courts a young woman just like you did!" "What are you talking about? I haven't bought him anything of the sort! I have left that in his father's hands to educate him on that area…" "Husband…what are you going to do if you nephew that you trained has his eyes on our daughter? His cousin? I know my daughter like to acts as if she knows it all, but I can assure you that our children know nothing about courting…the way that you did to me, and I will not have history repeat itself, do you hear me!"
Why did i think my husband would be on me side? This was incest we were talking about which was huge sin and a crime well worthy of punishment, but my husband…he didn't even flinch at all as he wrapped himself around me tighter and tighter by the second. My daughter, she was blessed with my looks and everything else expect for subtly and she knew how to manipulate anyone and everyone into doing her bidding, especially those who crossed her in the slightest. My husband always commented on how petty I was, but my daughter took it to a different level. She was also a carbon copy of my husband in terms of his personality and that type of rare but playful arrogance that she had about herself was the perfect kind of bait that would not only lure my nephew in but play with his mind and then deep personal feeling should be involved and there would be life threatening games that my little girl, no matter how spoiled she was, had no part to play in. No, I could not let this happen at all; I had to talk to my brother about this and them come up with a plan to separate the two, and the only way that I can do that was to have to let go of my introverted son and have him live with Chul in the kingdom and keep my daughter here for as long as I could and I was going to punish her for this and I…
"Calm down wife; if your brother didn't interfere with our unique relationship then you certainly cannot discipline her." "Husband! This in incest we are talking about! Why aren't you in the least bit angry or horrified as I am! Why aren't you…did you plan this? Husband! Look at me! Did you plan all of this! How could you! Within the whole family…is that how obsessed you are with my brother! After all this time! Taking me from him twice wasn't enough, you have to plan a marriage of this nature as well!" "Wife, you need to calm down and hear me out; I am not exactly thrilled about this either but…" "But?" "But ever since you gave me my daughter in my own hands, I knew that I would have to part from her one day in matrimony and I…I had to mould someone who I could trust her with. Forgive me wife, I cannot part from you or from her…I have to keep her close to me no matter what in this lifetime, and Chul will always follow me no matter where I go." "You…you stole Chul's childhood and made him into something that not even his father can recognise! Husband! I cannot believe that you have gone this far!" I was having some sort of mental breakdown after years of putting up with this man's controlling behaviour since the moment I met him and it was my fault for indulging him so much. I thought that I had put an end to that when I first got pregnant and now I was beginning to realise that he had just carried on with it behind my back to my poor children and nephews and even poor Bo-Geom who looked up to him the most after her father's passing. My children, my poor children, what can I possibly do for them now? I was angry at my husband but he was still the love of my life despite everything, so I couldn't just leave him, not that he would allow it to happen anyways. So what could I do…
"Servants! You will bring my second son into my office in my custody and have his big sister look after him! My wife feels unwell and is banned from having contact with him until she recovers her senses!" "NO! What're you doing! You cannot take my baby away from me! You cannot! He needs me! He hasn't parted from me yet! I am still feeding him!" My cries were wasted upon my husband who simply flung me over his shoulder as if I were some useless and weightless object and locked me in our private chambers where he usually was most of the time when he came home. He took al of my insults, my screams and my shouting and just gently placed me onto out bed as if I was being hysterical about nothing. He was as calm as I had ever seen him, and considering the fact that he had to chase away boys from our daughter before, I knew that something was off about this. "Forgive me wife, but you really do need to calm down about this." "I will if you give me my baby back." "I think you will come to your senses a whole lot quicker if you take some time to think about this properly with no distractions, don't you?" "Husband, you cannot do this to me and you know it." "I am sorry, but I know that our second son Hwan is a lot to handle since he has been attached to you the most and cannot seem to function without you. Our twins have nephews have all grown up, and I deem it appropriate that the only way that we can solve this issue of his attachment issues are to have more children…" "He is just as attached to me as you are and you know it; he demands my attention just as much as you do and he has every right to do so since we just had him recently! He is still a baby! They are unaware that they are have parted from the mothers womb until they get older, so it is no wonder why he find comfort in me alone! And what does that have to do with the issue regarding our daughter and nephew? Unless you are using this as a means to distract me from the situation entirely?" "You know me so well wife, but for now you are on house arrest and you are not to leave these bedchambers or even tend to our son until I have your word that you will not interfere in these plans with our daughter until I have made a decision myself." "Our daughter; I am the one who carried and raised that child that you have spoiled endlessly." "And we can have many more daughters if you so wish, because my Hana is a rare breed of beauty and intelligence and I will not have you hold her back, wife." "Have you lost your mind, husband? What plan do you have for our daughter! Tell me!" "Our daughter…she will put an end to The Mistress Han once and for all, and I will be with her every step of the way. She will lure her out along with The Third Prince and I shall kill him myself. And if Chul lives up to all of my hard work, then I shall marry them off in return."
A Prince. My husband wanted to outright kill A Royal Prince, and he was going to exploit his most beloved daughter to do it. My own husband in his lifetime have me maybe 1/4 fraction of affection that he showered onto her every single day. I thought he genuinely loved her but….I guess that he really was just an empty shell of a man that only pretended to love and nothing more. And as the daughter of a legendary man such as my father, and an orphan to boot with a disability so that no man in this world would consider me as an eligible bride apart from someone who grew up with me…I had fallen right into his trap for years. And after everything we had been through, all of my plans that just so happened to coincide with his…
"Do not overthink wife; I am not a hollow master without feeling, I just know when to take my opportunities and make the best out of them." "You promised me that you would give our children the best life…" "And I have; they will fulfil the legacy that your father left behind…but they are my children also and I need a part of myself in them as well. And if our son will not do that, then…" "so you will let her live out her full potential, but not myself?" "You are my wife and you were born just for me; haven't you gotten yourself into enough trouble over the years, wife?" Husband…" Servants? Bring over my wife a glass of water to cool her down please, and I will stay here with her until she falls asleep." I knew that I could not say anything to my husband once he had spoken no matter how much I wished to. My cunning husband was a beloved member of this village and rightly so since he had funded everything; and who owed him for that more than mown brother? That is why he could never say a word against him, even when we were together in the kingdom for so many years and I was placed in brothels…
"Husband, what on god's name did you put in this water? It tastes very familiar to me…" "this water was the very last thing that you drank when you were transferred from the first brothel that you almost escaped…and the last thing that you drank before we were intimate for the very first time…" that was the very last thing that I heard before my body completely failed me and shut down as I still held onto my husband for support and I could hear my baby Hwan crying for me…
