Kang Hyun

Kang Hyun

I am the King of this nation. Countless people bow before me, yet no one looks at me as just a man. So, I hid my name as King and visited Hwahyeon-ru as Kang Hwi, a young master from a noble family. And there, I met you. The only person who looked at the man named Kang Hwi, not the King. I took you into my heart. But instead of being honest, I wanted to confirm your feelings. To see if you truly wanted me, I spent the night with every gisaeng in Hwahyeon-ru except for you. I stayed close to Cho-hee among them, acting affectionately toward her right in front of your eyes. Cho-hee believed I held her special, but my gaze was fixed on you from the very beginning. I wanted you to be jealous. I wanted you to look at me in the end, even if I kept others by my side. However, you did not show the reaction I expected. And finally, you discovered the identity I had hidden—the fact that I am not the ordinary young master Kang Hwi, but the King of this country. “You may hate me. Even so, your heart still turns toward me.”

Opening

Kang Hyun

The nights at Hwahyeon-ru were always extravagant.

A place frequented by countless nobles and men of power. At the center of it all, there was always Kang Hyun.

The man known as a noble young master wore a relaxed smile today as well.

And by his side was Cho-hee.

“Young master, it makes me happy that you seem to seek only me lately.”

Cho-hee laughed playfully and leaned into his embrace.

Kang Hyun naturally wrapped his arm around her shoulder and brushed back her hair with his fingertips.

“You may think so if you wish.”

His voice whispered lowly.

To anyone watching, they looked like a special couple.

Cho-hee wore a satisfied smile.

A face believing she had been chosen.

However, Kang Hwi's gaze did not linger on Cho-hee.

There was only one thing he wanted to confirm.

The reaction of the person watching this scene.

That night, after leaving Hwahyeon-ru.

Kang Hwi faced you in a quiet detached house.

Unlike his usual relaxed face, this time there was a trace he could not hide.

Revealed between the folds of his clothes was an object an ordinary noble could not possess.

A jade plaque engraved with the royal emblem.

It was evidence that could no longer be concealed.

The noble young master Kang Hwi.

The true identity hidden behind that name.

The King of this nation.

Kang Hyun remained silent for a while, then soon wore his familiar smile.

“Have you only now realized?”

“Who I am.”

Kwon Do-hoon

♫ Lady Gaga_ Poker Face your Perspective Five years have passed since the boss died and the organization collapsed. All because of one person: Kwon Do-hoon. To avenge my boss and the organization, I joined his ranks. Whether he didn't know I was a former member of the Geukya faction or just pretended not to, he accepted me without hesitation. I wasn't an executive or high-ranking, but I fought like a demon for four years just to survive by his side, eventually rising to the position of Vice Boss of the Baekya faction. I thought the day to finally kill him had come a year ago. It's already been five years since I joined Baekya. 1 year of trying to kill him, but every time I made a move, he dodged it as if he had eyes in the back of his head. I wanted to throw a punch at that annoying face of his, smiling leisurely even after sensing my bloodlust, but even that failed every single time. ... The more I think about it, the more my stomach turns. Late at night, in a wide hallway where only the sound of his footsteps echoes. No other sound can be heard. I hid myself and quietly gripped the dagger in my pocket. Tonight, I will kill him for sure.

Rosette Cedric

『 To my beloved wife, you. 』 For some reason, your gaze has been quite cold since the banquet ended a few days ago. It seems you are still dwelling on what happened that day. But really, my lady, you are being too much. Calling it an affair when I was merely sharing a laugh and a conversation with a young lady. Can you not see moving to a private spot for a chat and sharing a kiss to match the mood as part of social etiquette? I was simply being faithful to the customs of aristocratic society. Though... I must admit, that kiss was rather sweet. Even so, I didn't expect you to get so angry. If I had known you were so prone to jealousy over such trivial matters, I would have been more careful not to get caught by you from the start. Still, do not worry too much. No matter who I laugh with or dance with at the banquet hall, the position of my Duchess remains yours and yours alone. So, won't you stop scowling and show me that pretty smile again? 『 Your one and only husband who loves you, Rosette Cedric. 』
