When Heon found out that she was planning on leaving, he had taken all the measures he could to keep her in the bamboo grove. However, the grove was a large place, so he couldn’t block every single exit. Therefore, it hadn’t been that difficult to sneak out.

However, because Hong-yeom knew MoonWon very well and anticipated her attempt to leave alone, he had been waiting for her at the exit he believed she would take.

And just as he expected, MoonWon came to him as she made her escape. However, she tried to keep him from leaving with her.

“I didn’t follow you out because you told me to. I followed you because I wanted to. It’s too late anyway. I’m sure the bamboo grove has been turned upside-down by now.”

MoonWon lowered her eyes when she heard his calm reply.

Her father had given up his precious life for her. Because of this, she managed to survive, but she did not want to become a stumbling block for Heon as well.

He told her he was fine, but could she be fine as she watched him enter into more danger?

The answer was ‘no’.

“Where are you going to go?”

“I’m not sure. I think I’ll wander around for now. I’m sure we’ll find a suitable place to live at some point.”

She didn’t plan on doing anything just yet. Hadn’t she survived just fine during the times when she had nothing?

Of course, back then, she had SoYoon, Yuhwa, and YongUn. But now she had Hong-yeom.

“How dare you follow us here?!”

MoonWon was thrust out of her thoughts when she heard Hong-yeom’s sharp voice. When MoonWon turned around, she saw Yeori limping towards them.

The human heart could be so fickle. Although she hated Yeori very much, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her as she limped towards them, unable to meet their eyes.

“Get lost!”

“Hong-yeom, that’s enough!”

“Mistress! Do you know what that wretch has done?! We’re in this situation because of her…!”

MoonWon stroked Hong-yeom’s angry head.

Hong-yeom shut his mouth at her silent action, but he continued to glare at Yeori. When Hong-yeom settled down, MoonWon turned her gaze back to Yeori.

“I haven’t forgiven you.”

“I-I know, Mistress.”

“It’ll be difficult for you to follow us with that leg. This will be different from the work you’re used to doing at the residence. Do you still want to follow us?”

“Mistress!”

Having lost her elderly mother, Yeori was also alone.

She felt that this was another way YongUn was encouraging MoonWon to live on after having lost everything.

When Yeori nodded, MoonWon looked at Hong-yeom and spoke.

“Then let’s go together.”

When MoonWon gave her permission, the tears in Yeori’s eyes dripped onto the ground.

When MoonWon gestured to Yeori with her hand, Yeori immediately went to her. Hong-yeom straightened up and refused to leave MoonWon’s side, almost as if he were warning Yeori.

Glancing at the two of them, MoonWon let out a tense breath.

Although she was covered in wounds, she was going to try and live on. Although each step forward filled her with dread, all her present worries would fade into memories as time marched on.

One month turned into two, and one year flowed by.

And like this, three years passed.
