Chapter 91: All the Mysteries Have Been Solved
The next day.
When I woke up, Myohyang was preparing breakfast. Her face was flushed, looking quite cheerful.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Ugh, I don’t feel like I slept at all.”
“Of course not. You drank that much.”
“Huh?”
Her words made him look around. In one corner, the empty jar that had held the bamboo leaf-infused rice wine lay empty and rolled around.
What? It wasn’t a dream?
“You must have been exhausted from the long journey. You passed out like you were drinking, didn’t you? I had a hard time carrying you to the bed.“
I’m not exactly a lightweight, yet I passed out after just a few drinks.
I must have accumulated fatigue unknowingly during the journey spanning two thousand li.
”······Nothing happened yesterday, right?”
Just in case, I asked, and Myohyang answered with a small smile.
“Huh? What happened?”
Her answer brought relief, yet also a deep sense of disappointment.
It seemed I really needed to start making a serious effort to get married.
Myohyang smiled slightly and placed a bowl in front of me.
It was steaming mandu soup.
As she sat down across from me, my gaze drifted somewhere else without my noticing.
“Huh? Is there something you wanted to say? Your eyes suddenly looked strange…”
“Ah, no. Let’s eat.”
“Hehe, alright. Since Yong the Warrior said he couldn’t come today either, it’s just the two of us. If you need anything while eating, just say the word.”
“Thanks. I’ll eat well.”
