Chapter 32
Shortly after she left Jun-Ho in the pavilion, Princess Gyeonghye reached the small garden that surrounded her Palace. She walked slowly through the flowers, stopping from time to time and brushing her fingers across the soft petals. Then, she suddenly paused, stopping dead in her tracks and making her string of maids skid to a halt and bump into each other like the wagons of a derailing train.
"Insufferable man!" she huffed in frustration, her beautiful face twitching slightly. "He is still as obnoxious as ever, I see. Always thinking he knows everything."
She twirled around, walking in the opposite direction. The maids quickly switched their direction as well and started after her. They were careful to maintain the customary distance of one-two steps behind. A few seconds later, Princess Gyeonghye stopped again, causing the same train of maids to stumble on their feet.
