Chapter 32

“I see, as soon as a new child comes, you’ll leave me alone, I see.”

(Mrs Yoo is talking about Haewha. As soon as Haehwa came, Cheongwoon left.)

I managed to calm my mind, thinking about Haehwa. This child greatly relied on Cheongwoon. Haehwa followed Cheongwoon even though he was unscrupulous to me.

“She has to take it well….” (Mrs. Yoo)

“… are you going to send her back?”

“Yes, I’ll send her back.”

It was a tone that showed resoluteness. Mrs. Yoo tried to change his mind, but realized that there was no room for him to change it. Mrs. Yoo struggled to swallow her regrets.

“A lot…she must be disappointed a lot.”

I just said it, hoping to accept the child as she was, because it was visible that I had become quite close to her in this short while. But in the end, it was only her own greed.

They know what kind of heart Cheongwoon has as he went to the battlefield. He goes to a war where even life and death cannot be determined, and it was their own greed that keeps Haehwa, who was still young, in this house.

After leaving the Sarangbang*, Cheongwoon found Haehwa walking around in front of the door.

(Sarangbang- /사랑방/ is a room located in a Korean traditional house (hanok) which served as a man’s room, used for studying, writing poetry, and leisure activities.

“Haehwa.”

As soon as the eyes met him, Haehwa quickly turned away in a rage.

“Shall I talk to you?”

“No. I have a lot to do. Do it later, please.”

Haehwa was a child who was so quick to notice things. After knowing what he was going to say, she was trying to get away quickly. Cheongwoon sharply grabbed her arm.

“Let me go.”

“I just need a minute.”

“I do not like it.”

“Little girl.”

“I do not like it! I don’t like it! You’re looking for me to throw me away. That’s what you’re going to say!”

In the end, the sadness that Haehwa was holding in burst out. But this time, it was a problem that couldn’t be solved by Cheongwoon.

It was impossible not to leave her alone and left for the battlefield. Besides, isn’t she a child who still needs the care of her parents?

“Don’t. I will send money, so it will not be difficult to live with your father, there’s me, Yoo Cheongwoon behind you. Let’s see if they dare pick you as a princess again.”
