When he heard the word moon, Yul flinched and was surprised.

김태형
Why are you so surprised?

율
Oh.. no.

김태형
...Then shall we go?

율
Yes, decline.

It was a night with an exceptionally beautiful full moon.

The bright moonlight illuminated the world.

Yul looked at the large moon and muttered to himself without realizing it.

율
The moon is really pretty.. I was crying alone when I saw it

'At that time... I was shedding tears, resenting His Majesty the Crown Prince.'

Yul thought and smiled quietly to himself.

Then Taehyung suddenly asked a question.

김태형
Have you ever been to the palace?

율
Ah...!! That's... I'm talking about before I met His Highness the Crown Prince.

김태형
...I see.

Yul sighed in relief and cleared his chest.

Taehyung's heart ached as he watched her. He still couldn't understand why she was trying to hide herself.

Still... I thought there must be a reason

I thought it wasn't for nothing

Couldn't catch it.

Taehyung stared at the moon looking up at the sky for a long time.

And the person watching this scene from behind with anger was none other than Yoon Seol-hee.

윤설희
Your Majesty!! Mama!

Yun Seol-hee stamped her feet and rushed in.

윤희연
How dare you act so rudely in the name of safety?

Yun Hee-yeon scolded her in a stern voice.

윤설희
That's not the problem. Didn't you say that His Highness the Crown Prince collapsed? But... But...

윤희연
Speak quickly!

윤설희
The nurse who is taking care of the patient is also possessing the patient!

윤희연
..What..what? Didn't His Highness say he was in love with that woman?

윤설희
Yes, that's right. But that woman is seducing you. Why are so many women getting entangled like this...

윤설희
Do you know what's even more amazing?

윤설희
That woman. That bitch, her face looks exactly like Wol!

윤설희
The feeling is similar, and the faces are more alike than twins... It's strange. Get rid of that girl, Mama!

When Seol-hee spoke, even spitting, Yun Hee-yeon opened her mouth.

윤희연
Okay, I will grant your request.

윤설희
Really? Thank you, Mama!

Yoon Seol-hee smiled brightly as if she had conquered the world.

Yun Hee-yeon got goosebumps at the sight.

He was her beloved nephew. Hee-yeon had initially opposed her stepping into this dirty court.

But, as Yoon Dae-seong said, I thought that Seol-hee, this child, was the right person for this job.

I knew you were greedy, but I didn't know it was to this extent.

Hee-yeon felt strange seeing her father's appearance in Seol-hee.

After seeing the moon, Taehyung and Wol returned to their quarters.

Taehyung kept his mouth shut for a while, then suddenly said something out of the blue.

김태형
Didn't you come today?

전정국
...yes?

김태형
I mean the temple

In that moment, Jeongguk realized what Taehyung meant.

It was to test the rate.

Since he couldn't ask himself out of the blue whether it was the moon, he intended to make him say it himself.

전정국
Ah... yes, he didn't come today either.

Yul, who had been listening silently from the side, asked curiously.

율
What are you waiting for?

김태형
It's a letter... A letter from a woman who looks exactly like you. You promised to send it, but it's been a year without any contact. Isn't that too much?

As Taehyung answered, Wol's face slowly turned blue.

율
If there's a woman who resembles me... Are you talking about the woman named Wol?

김태형
Yes. Why is that?

율
Have you really not been here for a year?

김태형
Didn't you say so?

Yul said in a voice of disbelief at Taehyung's confident answer.

율
That can't be true!

Taehyung said with a smile.

김태형
What do you mean..?

Yul, who realized his mistake at Taehyung's words, quickly shut his mouth.

율
No... no. Nothing.

김태형
Why do you always say things you don't mean? This time, answer me. What are you hiding?

김태형
What did you lie to me about?
