Chapter 90
Hyun continued to hold onto Jung-Hee's face, while he thought over her question. After a couple of seconds his lips moved and he delivered his honest answer.
"It's not impossible. If he feels the former King is a threat to his rule, then he might find a way to suppress him. If he can't outright kill Danjong for fear of losing supporters, then the next best thing would be to have Danjong under his control. Bringing the entire area under his supervision through this marriage alliance will eliminate the possibility of rebellion. Moreover, it would be a clean method to gain supporters without having to kill anyone. Quite efficient in fact. One cannot say that King Sejo isn't a smart and cunning man." Hyun finished with a nod.
Hearing the last part, both Jun and Yu Yeong's eyebrows twitched. Their faces turned complicated.
"Hyun, I can't figure out if you are praising the man or mocking us?" Jun asked with a grimace.
"Both I guess." Hyun replied pensively.
