Chapter 43

• JUNGMYUNG'S POV
• The next evening after we arrived back at the capital, all members of the royal families and nobles gathered at the seashore wearing white garments to perform the final rites of the second princess's funeral.
• Tears rolled down my cheeks as they set fire to the coffin that contained her body. The queen dowager who was standing by my left rubbed my back while Yi Jung who stood by my right held my hand and drew circles at the back of it with his thumb.
