Chapter 125
- Yi Sun's POV
- The next evening rose to the occasion, although its atmosphere left much to be desired. The air in the palace seemed heavy with tension as if waiting for blood to be spilled in open warfare. I had known since the first moment I had heard of his official position as the Crown Prince; this confrontation had been inevitable. So today, I would face Consort Han and Yi Hon, whose Angry resentful feelings had been building up for quite a while.
- As I took my place on the throne, its grandeur seemed to close in on me rather than reassure me. Even the golden pillars, the elaborate tapestries, the ceremonial guards standing at attention did little to allay my tension. In my heart and mind, I could think of nothing but the confrontation that was about to unfold.
