Chapter 1
Forbidden"Ahhh, not another concubine," Jong Kook sighed as he stared at the barely clothed girl on his bed which was covered with rose petals.
Ji Hyo glanced at Jong Kook as she wondered what concubine meant. She racked her brains, knowing that it sounded familiar as she has read it in one of her acting books but it was futile. She just couldn't remember it. She sighed in frustrations as her mind started to think about other things but unfortunately, she was interrupted by his words.
"You, concubine," He uttered the word rather nastily as he spoke towards her. "Did you offer yourself?"
"N-no."
His stare softened to a gaze as he replied gently, caressing her head as he spoke. "Poor you. I bet your father owe some kind of money, sold you to pay his debts and BAM! You ended up here with me."
She laughed at his relaxed, casual manner, making him smile as well while hearing her contagious laughter. He wondered why she laughed and asked her, expecting an answer that is connected to royalty but she was different. All she said was, "I thought that you are feeling down right now but when I see you laugh so sincerely, I must be wrong to think that you are depressed."
His eyes widened, hearing the words she uttered and patted her back unexpectedly.

Ji Hyo burst into laughter again as he showed her his different sides naturally as if they had known each other for a long time. He finally noticed that she was still hardly wearing any clothes and immediately went out to retrieve it for her, blushing while stammering his apologies. Her smile was gone when he stepped outside, remembering why she ended up here in the first place.
