Chapter 52: A Permission from the Han Brothers
Haneul wanted to laugh, but she held it in and reminded herself that they're being watched.
When Yumi finally exited the area, Haneul whipped her head towards the direction with a smile.
"Wangchul-ah. What are you doing, and you're even hiding behind the bush?"
The Emperor could be sneaky at times when his curiosity would devour his mind.
When Haneul caught him red-handed, he looked at her with anxiety visible on his face. He needs to give her a response. However, he was not sure of how to answer Haneul.
Hence, he walked towards her as he straightened his back and cleared his throat. "I did not dare eavesdrop. I merely wanted to invite you for dinner."
How could Haneul buy his petty excuse when she was a master when it comes to making up a story? At least it seems like the Emperor l did not hear anything essential and had just arrived shortly.
