Chapter 17

Sa Heon-yeong groaned. It’s been a while since he’s been drunk. He himself was not sure whether he was drunk or drunk by his bride. He hugged the bride with a hazy feeling. The gaze was stinging, but it didn’t matter. This woman was his. His. His. And he was hers too. She has become something that he should consider the most beautiful. It was unclear whether the heat rising in his body was alcohol or happiness, but whatever.

“It’s the feeling of wanting to know what color the blood of the person you look at.”

If what you’re looking at is the eyes, he wants to dig it out.

If what you’re looking at is the nose, he wants to cut it.

If what you’re looking at is the limb, he wants to tear it apart.

Sa Heon-yeong responded to the bloody emotions even when he was drunk. Because he didn’t want his bride to be afraid of him.

“Is it goblin blood, noble blood, or just human blood?”

“Yes.”

“What color is Lord Heon-yeong’s blood?”

Sa Heon-yeong put his finger on his teeth. Then he bit his finger, bleeding, and showed it to Young-young. Young-young’s eyes widened as she didn’t know that he would show blood. She, however, soon frowned.


Then she also bit her own finger and bled. Sa Heon-yeong tried to catch her, but she was faster.

“Young-ah.”

Sa Heon-yeong called her in a low voice, but she placed her bloody finger over his. Each other’s blood was mixed. She lifted her finger and tilted her head.

“It’s the same color.”

What do you want to say? Did she bleed because she wanted to say that he was human? Sa Heon-yeong shook his head. Whether he is a goblin or a human, what does it matter? He somehow survived and will never change the mind of those who see him as a goblin.

Sa Heon-yeong carefully grabbed Young-yeong’s finger and shook his head.

“Don’t do this.”

“…….”

“It’s not worth seeing your blood.”

It was a harsh voice. Young-young looked up at Sa Heon-yeong’s eyes and asked.

“Then why did Lord Heon-yeong do that?”

For a moment, Sa Heon-yeong was speechless. He bit his mouth for a moment, then barely responded.

“I am a man and a warrior. Getting hurt is usual and I can heal easily. But wife is a woman, and your body is weak.”

“This much heals me too.”

“Young-ah.”

“Lord Heon-yeong don’t do it either. Or I will do it.”

Young-young was stubborn. It seemed like it should be. Before coming here, Sa Heon-yeong was always strong and cool, but Sa Heon-yeong here was faint and seemed to collapse at any moment. As if something was going to go wrong, Young-young took Sa Heon-yeong’s hand, which was holding her finger.

“…… I will not.”

Sa Heon-yeong whispered.

Young-young could only laugh at that time. Yes, and that was when she nodded her head. Sa Hun-yeong lifted his mask a little and he took her finger to his mouth. It was just as the bright red tongue came out between the lips and was about to swallow her fingers and disappear into the mouth.

“Sa Heon-yeong!”

A sharp shout tore through the air of the banquet hall.

Young-young turned her head in surprise. The prince stood up from his seat. His face, which had only been smiling softly earlier, was distorted. Although he had a similar face to Sa Heon-yeong, he was completely different.

It’s like a goblin.

Young-young thought so, and shook her head inwardly, refuting her thought.

It’s like a snake

When Young-young lived in the mountains, she was most afraid of snakes. Because there was no god, whenever she walked on a mountain pass, she would raise her senses for snakes in the way. She had seen a snake a few times. Every time she had to run, it had the same eyes that she saw then-

Hmm. Young-young groaned and frowned. Sa Heon-yeong grabbed her chin and made her look at him.

“Just look at me, I asked you.”

“Huh? But over there,”

At that moment, the prince’s shout grew louder.

“Sa Heon-yeong!”

“Don’t look. If you don’t want to see the groom go crazy on the wedding day.”

He knows he should not provoke the prince.

Even knowing that, Sa Heon-yeong could not answer the prince. He was looking at Young-young. This answer came first. After all, the prince cannot kill him. He is also not easy to harm. It’s different from when he was younger in many ways.

“Song Young-young.”

Sa Heon-yeong, who always called her Young-ah, called Song Young-young’s name in a rare, frightening voice.

“…… Yes, I will. I will.”

Young-young continued to nod her head. I will, I won’t look. Young-young promised over and over again. It’s not because Sa Heon-yeong’s voice was scary. Because his voice sounded quite desperate.

After Young-young nodded her head a few times, Sa Heon-yeong lowered the mask he had lifted a little and turned his gaze to the prince. The prince’s face, who always wanted to pretend to be kind, was red with anger.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Sa Heon-yeong knows why the prince was angry. Because he moved the mask. The prince insisted that Sa Heon-yeong is a goblin, so he should wear a goblin mask in front of everyone. He said that if Sa Heon-yeong was not going to wear a goblin mask, he should never leave the palace, and Sa Heon-yeong made a promise to the prince and put on the goblin mask himself. After that, the prince always checked whether Sa Heon-yeong was wearing a mask or not, and even put a spy on him. Sa Heon-yeong also deliberately did not touch those who went on purpose.

The prince was that sensitive to Sa Heon-yeong’s goblin mask. However, Sa Heon-yeong dared to touch the mask at the banquet, so the prince was filled with anger.

“Yes, no matter how beastly you are, you are a member of the imperial family. There are laws, what are you doing?”

The Prince noticed that he was overreacting, so he sat down and muttered.

Sa Heon-yeong looked at the prince who treated him as an animal in front of many people and the mother who looked at him with worry-filled eyes, and smiled.

“I am is a newlywed for the first time. Isn’t it unreasonable to want to be a gentleman and not a beast?”

When Sa Heon-yeong raised his voice and spoke in a tone, mischievous laughter erupted among the elders, including the uncled. Sa Heon-yeong changed his mood and hugged Young-young. Young-young groaned and hugged him.

“Since you have spoken good words, I will be offering my withdrawal. I’m in a hurry.”

Ha ha ha, the laughter grew louder. As the atmosphere brightened, the sound of the prince clenching his teeth could be heard. He would almost want to wield a whip if he could. He is a cruel character. Who else is going to die today? Sa Heon-yeong snorted. It was none of his business.

As they were leaving Sinryeon Hall, Young-young whispered.

“I want to go back.”

I hate this place, it’s a weird place. Young-young said sullenly. Can’t we go home? Sa Heon-yeong repeated the word home she spoke of over and over in his head. Home. His home. Her and his own home.

Young-young did not understand the evil intentions of the prince. But it seemed that she instinctively felt the malice. She was chewing her lower lip.

“If the wife asks for anything, I will give it to you.”

“…… .”

“Then please stop the harsh punishment for those innocent lips.”

Young-yeong felt Sa Heon-yeong sucking her lower lip and opened her lips. Sa Heon-yeong kissed her in the middle of the bright road in the Imperial Palace. It was a very slow and soft kiss, unlike usual.

*

Sa Heon-yeong took off Young-yeong’s red veil covering her face. He was delighted as soon as her short face was revealed. Although she had been with him all the time, she had the thin silk veil, he kept spying on her face, but he was still so glad that the red silk disappeared and his heart lit up as soon as her face appeared. He missed her all the time. He missed this face so much. It was only one day, even though they weren’t apart. Sa Heon-yeong reached out and touched Young-young’s cheek and lips.

Young-young reached out her hand and took off Sa Heon-yeong’s mask. The red goblin mask is caught in her hand and falls off Sa Heon-yeong’s face. The moment Sa Heon-yeong, who was neither a beast nor a goblin, came to exist in front of her, Sa Heon-yeong smiled.

Sa Heon-yeong smiled brightly. A fresh smile. Young-young was captivated by that smile for a moment. Beautiful man. The man, who seemed to have been made with the fresh morning air, touched Yeong-young with a charming smile when their eyes met. Even though he embraces her wildly every day, whenever he touches her, it’s like he’s dealing with a miracle.

“I heard wife is twenty six this year.”


“Hmm.”

“It is a mixture of wine that is twenty-six years old and wine that is thirty years old. It may be strong for the wife, but you must drink it.”

It was one of the rites of the royal family. Drinking alcohol that is equal to the age of the bride and the age of the groom.

“Hmm.”

Young-young nodded her head, picked up the glass of wine, and put the drink in her mouth. And she almost spit it out. Young-young, who was thinking about the previous fruit wine, but this was terribly strong. It was like passing fire through her throat. The moment Young-young was about to spit, Sa Heon-yeong grabbed Young-young’s head and kissed her. And he just pushed in the drink.

Heup, heup. Young-young tried to push him away, but she couldn’t. His tongue forced the drink into her throat. Reluctantly, she took the drink and drank it. The lava went down her throat, gulp, gulp.

Uh……. When Young-young was making a tearful face, Sa Heon-yeong licked her lower lip.

“I’m sorry. I’ve heard it’s a pretty strong drink, but it’s really strong.”

“Is it your first time doing it, Lord Heon-yeong?”
