ep 21. Birthday


Time flowed endlessly, and Seongjae and Sojeong were spending their days no differently than usual. By now, Sojeong had mastered most of the basic etiquette and was quick to grasp her studies as well.

So before I knew it, it was Seongjae's birthday.

Since it was the birthday of the Empire's only Duke, guests and gifts came and went incessantly starting a week before the birthday.


소정
Eunbi.


은비 (하녀)
yes


소정
What does the Duke like?


은비 (하녀)
The Duke?


소정
Yeah. Your birthday is coming up soon, you know. I wanted to give you a gift.


은비 (하녀)
Hmm... well. Wouldn't you know better than I do, Sojeong?


소정
Me? You've been around longer than me.


은비 (하녀)
Still, apart from Young Master Carlos, he is the only one the Duke has opened his heart to and approached like that.


소정
Really? I thought you were always a kind person...


은비 (하녀)
If you really don't know, try meeting Young Master Carlos.


소정
Okay. Thank you. I should write an invitation letter.


창섭 (의사)
Thank you for the invitation.


소정
Thank you for responding. I just had a question.


창섭 (의사)
What is it?


소정
Is Young Master Carlos close with the Duke?


창섭 (의사)
He's probably the closest person to the people close to him.


소정
By any chance, do you happen to know what the Duke likes? I would like to give him a gift for his upcoming birthday...


창섭 (의사)
Hmm... Sungjae doesn't really like many things. Besides, he's such a good-looking guy that he already has everything he likes... But does a gift really have to be material?


소정
Ah... but there's nothing I can do for you...


창섭 (의사)
Sojeong can do the biggest thing for Seongjae.


소정
What is that?


창섭 (의사)
I hope you figure that out for yourself.


소정
.... Yes, I understand.


창섭 (의사)
Then, I will take my leave.

...


소정
