Eunbi looked at Lalisa and smiled slyly.

Though no one noticed her eerie smile however Lalisa didn't miss the change in her expression.

Eunbi turned to look at Jeongguk and spoke innocently, "I am sorry your highness for barging in the room like this. I was just worried about her highness, that's why I did something unpardonable. Whatever punishment you give me I will take it willingly." she said with her head down as she spoke diligently.

Lalisa raised her brows at Eunbi's words.

Sandara turned to look at Eunbi as her expressions softened.

She said in an annoyed tone looking at Lalisa, "Eunbi, why did you get any punishment? You did nothing wrong. You just worried about someone who didn't cherish your love and care."

"Some people don't deserve to be loved and care. Hmph. You don't need to apologize for anything. We only came to their room, it's nothing that you need to apologize."

"If someone who has to apologize then it should be the one who seduced Jeongguk. How can you let the Emperor take care of you? Are you so important that the Emperor of the Ji Dynasty need to babysit you." Sandara accusingly said to Lalisa.

Lalisa was annoyed by her words, "I never asked his highness to stay here. I asked him to go back but he didn't. Is that my fault?" she retorted back as her patience was fading.

She was not interested to drag this conversation anymore.

Sandara wanted to speak more but before she could say anything, Jeongguk spoke with his face cold and expressionless.

"Enough. I don't want to hear any word regarding this matter. If you came to see Lalisa, then you have seen her and also created the scene you wanted to create."

"Now please leave. It's morning and we need to do get freshen up. Minho ...sent Empress Dowager and Jung Eunbi back to their room." he said coldly as he called Minho in.

Minho came in and bowed in front of Jeongguk. He glanced at Sandara and Eunbi and respectfully escorted them out.

Sandara gritted her teeth in anger as she was escorted by Minho.

Eunbi's eyes were bloodshot red as she kept her head down. She didn't stretch the thing further as she realized that there is no need to do this.

Jeongguk was not even interested in their talk. He kept looking at Lalisa adorably.

Her blood boiled when she saw the love and concern in his eyes. Before he never looked at her like this.

But when today and the last night at banquet saw the way he looked at Lalisa, she felt a sting in her heart. It hurts to see the guy you always loved, looking like this at someone else.

When she married him it was because of marriage alliance and the first time they meet was in the forest when he saved her life.

She was on her way to the market accompanied by her maids and some guards when suddenly some goons attacked her maids and guards. Her carriage almost fell off the cliff but Jeongguk appeared and saved her from falling.

He saved her and that was the moment when Eunbi fell in love with him.

His eyes were dark and mysterious which attracted her. She couldn't help but think about him when she returned to her palace.

Later, she got to know that he was the Emperor of the Jeong Dynasty and was there for a meeting with her father regarding the alliance.

Her father fixated her marriage to Jeongguk in an alliance and loyalty to Jeong Dynasty.

She was happy to get married to the guy she fell in love at first sight but...it seems that only she was in love in their marriage.

She sighed as she went to her room leaving the worried Sandara behind. She doesn't want to talk to anyone at this moment.

Sandara worried looked at her. But couldn't stop her going in. She sighed as she went to her chamber.

After Sandara and Eunbi left the room, the temperature rose in the room as Lalisa shifted her gaze to Jeongguk.

Between all this mess, she forgot how she woke up in the morning.

She remembered that she was almost laying over him and her head was snuggling in his neck when she woke up.

Just thinking of it, made her cheeks blush red in embarrassment.

She knows that she moved a lot while sleeping that's why she wanted to stay awake for the whole night but somehow she fell asleep which caused this mess.

Jeongguk also shifted his gaze to her and smiled at her, "Don't think about them much. Go and freshen up and let's have breakfast. You must be hungry." he said with the tenderness in his eyes.

Lalisa wanted to talk about what happened in the night but startled by his question, she reflexively said, "No. I am not hungry." she was too embarrassed to eat with him.

But as the words left her mouth, her stomach growled loudly. It was loud enough for Jeongguk to know her honest feelings.

He called Minnie in and asks her, "Help your Miss to freshen up and then prepare a breakfast for both of us. We will have it in the garden. And remember to make the breakfast nourishing and less spicy. She can't eat heavy food now." he instructs Minnie as she silently nodded at Jeongguk.

She doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at Eunbi's fortune.

'But wait a sec. I am in no position to worry about others. I already have so many issues in my hand. How can I worry about others.' she thought as she looked at Jeongguk speaking to Minnie.
