Had my expression revealed that I was recalling his past connections? Suddenly the disciple whispered above my head. I looked up in surprise to find him looking down at me with a smile.
But just because he’s smiling doesn’t mean I should really trust that smile. Even in his previous life, he was always kind to me, but in the end, he poisoned me.
“Thinking hard…?”
“Maybe you were thinking of scolding a disciple who frequents gambling houses?”
“Ha ha. How could I…?”
“Or maybe you came to have fun, and you’re upset to see a face you don’t like?”
“Yes?”
I looked up at the disciple with a blank expression. My heart, which had just calmed down, was beating wildly again.
This disciple’s every word is mockery.
I was purposely putting on a dazed expression, and the disciple muttered coldly,
“After all, what’s the point in saying this to you now.”
Then he looked away and said,
“If the friend you came to find is from the Sun family, it must be Scholar An. Find him well and go.”
“Disciple, you…”
“I’ll find my friend.”
Ah, of course. The disciple also came here to find someone else. I was relieved as the disciple continued to mock me till the end.
“I know your heart is light, but don’t lighten your pocket as well.”
“Don’t lighten your pocket” seems to mean not to gamble. I don’t know what “having a light heart” means.
Anyway, it’s fortunate that he doesn’t seem to want to bother me today. I obediently answered “Yes.” and turned my head towards the bustling crowd.
Hurry up, Sunan. Your friend is in great trouble.
But the disciple who said he would go find his friend suddenly touched my neck.
As his large and hot hand touched my neck, I shrunk my neck like a turtle and raised my shoulders. I turned around, cowering, to see the disciple’s stern face.
Seeing his expression, my heart chilled. Oh no, it’s not time for ‘me now’ to be afraid of the disciple! And the disciple is also the ignored and persecuted prince!
But to be openly scared like this. I’m crazy! Cursing inwardly, I hastily made an excuse.
“My neck is a bit sensitive. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t touch it.”
After making the excuse, it seemed a bit absurd, but I couldn’t think of anything else.
But I’m a man and the 13th prince is also a man, so he won’t take my words strangely. I stole a glance at the disciple’s reaction.
But why? The disciple’s eyes were very fierce. His expression was icy, but his eyes were like a tiger encountered in a midnight mountain.
I shivered at his attitude. Did he take my words strangely? Did he misunderstand the meaning of being sensitive?
“That’s, I[dash].”
I tried to add a few more words, but the disciple asked in a cold windlike voice,
“Neck. Who did this to you?”
“What?”
As soon as he asked, my disciple grabbed the collar of my top and opened it abruptly. Startled, I jumped, but my disciple asked again, holding onto my collar in a subdued voice.
“Master’s neck has finger marks. I asked who did this.”
‘Ah! It was Sunan earlier!’
Sunan had mentioned almost being assassinated because of his maternal family. That’s why when he talked about his family’s situation, which I hadn’t told him about, he choked me in doubt. I also choked Sunan’s neck in return.
Anyway, it seems the finger marks remained from that time.
In a panic, I hastily pulled up my collar to cover my neck, but it was stopped by my disciple’s hand.
“Disciple. What are you doing?”
I tried to speak, frowning as if I were a strict master, but it was useless. His gaze was fixed on my neck.
“Who did this? I ask for the second time, Master.”
What was bewildering was that he seemed somewhat angry. His gaze fixed on my neck, I was at a loss for words.
If I wasn’t in a situation where I had to hide the fact that I had regressed, I would have asked him outright. Why are you angry when you want to kill me too?
He was almost poisoning me right under his nose. Why were his eyes so scary for just leaving some marks and not actually choking me to death?
Is he angry because someone else almost killed the person he should kill? Oh, speaking of it, could this be the reason?
As soon as I thought that, a more terrifying feeling overcame me, and goosebumps rose on my nape. How deep must the grudge be for him to become so angry just because someone else almost killed his enemy?
“You are not answering.”
Unable to move and still covering my neck with my hand, my disciple muttered coldly.
“There was a situation.”
I awkwardly laughed and skirted the issue.
Sunan choking me was an infuriating matter, but it was between Sunan and me. It was my fault for carelessly mentioning his secret, especially when he was exposed to assassination threats and was on edge.
It wasn’t a topic to talk about with others, and I didn’t want to tell my disciple. It had nothing to do with my disciple either.
But my disciple was persistent.
“I’m asking what the situation is, Master.”
“It’s not a story you need to know, Disciple.”
“I don’t need to know, you say?”
“Yes. It’s a personal matter.”
“…….”
Is he… angry? My disciple, who had been contradicting me, suddenly fell silent. As I massaged my neck, I slowly raised my eyes to look at him. He was still staring at me as before.
Then, our eyes met, and unexpectedly, he smiled like a fullybloomed cherry blossom and said something unbelievable.
“I see. If you say so, Master, I won’t ask any further. You must have some matters you don’t want to share with someone like me. But as your disciple, how could I just let your neck wound go untreated? Let’s go to the room. I will treat it for you.”
What?
I opened my eyes wide in surprise and stared at my disciple.
This could never happen. To treat my neck, I would have to loosen my top. But I’m disguised as a man!
