Kiss your shadow

[G-Kiss] | 37.

It was a night that I retreated without answering.

It was a short night, but my meeting with her was truly memorable.

Even though the words were thrown out casually, they ended up rolling around in my mouth like a drop of water cut on the tip of my tongue.

Concubine Jang,

I could only imagine her attitude towards the new female protagonist as hostile.

Even though I feel sick at the thought of the harm that is so deeply embedded in the end of those words,

Why couldn't I have stopped talking first?

_Gangnyeongjeon

One dark evening, Yun-gi came to visit the female protagonist who was staying in the annex next to the main palace.

..It's been quite a while since I've seen your face,

Unlike her, who answered calmly as if it were a matter of course,

He didn't take his eyes off her, even though he was stroking her long hair that was let down as if something was bothering him.

I finally crossed the palace (the palace where the king resides) and arrived at Gangnyeongjeon with her.

Confucianism, yeah..

Despite the advice of the eunuchs to destroy the noble Confucian spirit that has been passed down from the ancestors,

Originally, in times like these, I kept my mouth shut when the king refuted my claims by saying that deep-rooted old ideas needed to be changed.

....It's such a strange thing

A lord who speaks with a soft voice and draws his sword at the slightest offense.

These days, you even keep your sword sheath here.

I think I'm getting close to death.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

I think so. You use all the honorifics with me.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

ha ha ha

As expected, he laughed out loud at her indifferent answer and straightened his posture to face her.

Like that, he raised her gaze as if looking down slightly, and looked at himself, but in the end, he met his eyes with his reflection in her eyes.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

.......

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

...I will soon ascend to the position of queen.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

You can't treat me like an inferior, can you? You deserve to be treated accordingly.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

...sigh)) As expected, it's awkward.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

Ha, huh... Is that so?

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

........

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

....For the remaining period, you just need to practice slowly

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

.....

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

..If you were trying to tell me that the wedding was postponed...

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

.......!

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

You are late, Your Majesty.

As expected, it seems like he's been taking precautions and keeping an eye on things since a while ago.

....Is it really true that I have no clue?

His hand stopped as he approached her, seeming a little embarrassed by her speaking as if she already knew everything.

What was he trying to convey with those hands?

For a moment, she stopped thinking about the few options that came to mind. Soon, the corners of her mouth stretched into a lazy smile.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

It's late at night, so it's time to go to bed.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

...You came to me out of the blue earlier and said you were lonely because you hadn't seen me for a while.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

I wonder if you haven't been able to sleep well for the past few days while I was away.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

....under,

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

As a wife who takes care of her husband, I don't feel very comfortable.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

...Oh, of course, there's still a lot of time left until that happens.

Drumroll

Drumrollโ€“

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

.....?

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

You don't seem to see me as the lord of this country sometimes.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

.....

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

...You only know how to tease me by nitpicking like this,

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

....he,

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

But, you're right.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

So let's sleep in the same bed tonight... I've been up all night these past few days.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

.......

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

....((I sit on the bed and smooth the blanket.

A fine silk wraps around your fingertips.

Although this is not the first time I have slept on this gold-embroidered bed,

....,

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

.......

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

.....

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

....((snickers

I think this is the first time we've been so awake together like this.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

...is this also a practice of sleeping slowly in anticipation of my wedding day..?

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

hmm......

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

....he,

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

..If there was a day after the wedding when you and I were to sleep together, we wouldn't sleep like this.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

..........

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

I'll sleep in a bigger space.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

Not a bedroom just for me, but a place prepared for you and me.

It felt awkward for our bodies to lie side by side on the soft silk quilt, sliding down.

His voice, softly heard in my ear, secretly aroused my anticipation for the future to come true.

A strange sense of foreboding weighed heavily on my chest,

Even though I felt a little sorry, I turned my body and lay down so that he couldn't see me.

.....

...Then, as if he had been waiting, he rolled over and put his arm around my waist, not even knowing what he was thinking.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

...even though I knew that the Prime Minister was fulfilling his own selfish desires and that his ambitions were not small.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

He is a man of discernment and judgment. He also has an excellent eye for reading the political world.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

....Therefore, you are the one who must be more careful.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

Haha, if you use it well, you can get the benefit of that ship.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

..Your spy must be quite fast on his feet. Well done.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

.....

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

It's just a matter of interest.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

......

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

..understanding that harms others, understanding that considers gains and losses,

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

I guess it's a kind of understanding to realize the hidden meaning in words.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

...I feel so good because I can sleep well with you.

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

I see you have a lot to say, so... aren't you sleepy?

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

........

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

....If I understand it the way I want, I'll just be the one who's nagging.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

......

The slow, gentle touch of a hand, as if putting a child to sleep, evoked an unknown sensation within me.

....strangely, it feels like it's tickling, but the area it touches feels hot, ..like that,

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

...Go to sleep now.. I have a lot to do tomorrow.

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

....

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ image

์‹ ์—ฌ์ฃผ

...yes,

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต image

๋ฏผ์œค๊ธฐ/์ด์œต

......((Smile

It was an unusually warm and quiet night.

...I don't know why I felt that way...

Just... that kind of night,

...
