Chapter 6

Two years since entering the underground palace, there was an evening, when he went out to look for that person's whereabouts, and she was left alone. Before leaving, he left a message, that between 9 pm and 11 pm, she prepare a good glass of "nectar" and put it on the table in the main hall.

After placing the glass cup, she had planned to return to her room and continue reading to pass time. When she turned around, she was face to face with her father who just came in. She felt a temporal sense of awkwardness, and not knowing what she should say, simply turned her head, and without taking a single look at her father, left.

"Ryeong-ii!" 

It's been a very long time, a very long time, that she since heard her father call by her infant name . Even if she hated him, this call "Ryeong-ii" was enough to raise some waves.

"Father, you having Daughter here, do you truly not have a guilty conscience? Why do you not ask Daughter whether she is free from worry? Whether she is happy? Is Daughter truly only a pawn of yours? Truly only a puppet? You're already sitting on the Yeong Sang position, what more are you still not satisfied with!" 

She felt like a volcano erupting, with rage roaring. In these two years, the fears, the insults, and the anguishes that she suffered, all became grudges against her father!

Smack! A sound rattled, and her face was burning! 

"Choi Hye Ryeong! In your eyes, do you still have Father! How dare you talk like this to Father?! Have I wronged you? In these two years, beside Sir, what you wanted, you got, livin
