Chapter 2: A caterpillar's crawl

Legend of the Butterfly Pavilion

"I can't let it happen." Sukjong said while clencing her fist. "I promised Wonhyun, I'll protect her daughter at all costs. It was her dying wish to see her daughter happy. Yet I can't fufill it." Sukjong said. "Mother, it's not your fau-" Sukjing cut Inhyeon off. "No, it is my fault. I must let Yoongi avoid Seungwan at all cost. Even if it means killing her." Sukjong said. "Mother!" Inhyeon said. "It's the only way I can let Wonhyun leave in peace." Sukjong said. "Lady Kang!" Sukjong called for her retainer.

"Yes, Your Highness?" Lady Kang entered the pavilion and bowed. "Get Lady Jang from the Investigations office." Sukjong said. Lady Kang bowed and exited the pavilion. Lady Kang returned with Lady Jang and Lady Song from the investigations office. "Your Highnesses." Lady Jang and Lady Song bowed, they both took a seat in front of Inhyeon and Sukjong. "Please ask guard officials in the palace to make Consort Son avoid Yoongi at all costs." Sukjong said.

"She hurt the Queen. She might one day use Yoongi and her power." Sukjong said. "I got it Your Highness." Lady Jang said. They both exited the room.

Seungwan...

Seungwan was resting in her pavilion when she heard commotion outside. "WHO ARE YOU TO ORDER THE PAVILION BE CLOSED?" Her retain, Lady Han shouted. "This is the order from the Queen Mother." Seungwan came out of her pavilion and saw the Investigation Offiers and palace guards outside. "What's going on?" Lady Han rushed to Seungwan. "My lady, they are ordering guards around your pavilion and you will be detained in your pavilion." Lady Han said.

"Move!" Lady Jang said. "Yes, My lady!" The guards moved off. "My lady!!" Lady Han said. Sukjong entered the gardens and watched from afar as Seungwan entered her pavilion. She sighed in relief. "Grandmother.." She heard a voice behind her. "This was your order?" Yoongi asked. "Yoongi-ah.." Sukjong said. "Grandma... why can't you let me and Seungwan be happy." Yoongi asked. "She isn't the one for you, only Yewon is." Sukjong said. "No... no!! That girl?! She already ruined my life." Yoongi said in fury. "Watch it Yoongi! She is the Moon in the sky of Joseon and mother of the next crown prince." Sukjong said. "No, only Seungwan is capable of being my Queen! Only her..." Yoongi said as he walked away in fury.

Chapter 17: Oh did you made a mistake by writing attempted murder on *Ilmin* ?
I got teary eyed while seeing Seungwan beg for Ilmin's wellbeing...and I'm reading this as I'm at work rn. Had to go to the back a bit to recover xD

I love how graceful Seungwan ended. She left without leaving us hating on her..amazing ?
