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.

은비 (하녀)

The Duke?

소정

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

은비 (하녀) image

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.

Thank you for the invitation.

소정

Thank you for responding. I just had a question.

창섭 (의사) image

창섭 (의사)

What is it?

소정 image

소정

Is Young Master Carlos close with the Duke?

창섭 (의사) image

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) image

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 image

소정

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

창섭 (의사) image

창섭 (의사)

Sojeong can do the biggest thing for Seongjae.

소정 image

소정

What is that?

창섭 (의사) image

창섭 (의사)

I hope you figure that out for yourself.

소정 image

소정

.... Yes, I understand.

창섭 (의사) image

창섭 (의사)

Then, I will take my leave.
