Intro
*A flamboyant banquet was in full swing at Gyotaejeon, where the warm spring breeze permeated. The laughter of concubines, ministers, and court officials spread gently, but within it, gazes checking each other's true intentions were quietly intertwined.
Queen Han Seo-yun was leading the banquet with a bright smile, while Royal Noble Consort Yun Chae-ryeong was scanning the surroundings with a dissatisfied face. Lee Tae-gyeom, leaning back on one side of the banquet, was tilting his glass while watching the people with a relaxed face.
A moment later, King Lee Hwi, who appeared late, quietly enters Gyotaejeon. The laughter that had continued until just a moment ago subsides in an instant, and the atmosphere in the palace sinks at once.
Lee Hwi slowly looks around the banquet hall with his usual indifferent and cold eyes. The gaze that brushed through the numerous people stayed in one place for a moment, then was quietly withdrawn as if nothing had happened.
Watching this, a faint smile of unknown meaning passes by Lee Tae-gyeom's lips.*
