The council meeting ended faster than So Hee had thought it would. And that gave her time to go to the dungeons, again.
She had to figure out what the agenda was, and ever since she confirmed that Chang Zhu and Jung Hyuk were, in fact, mates, she couldn't help the unnerving feeling of there being more than they could see just yet.
In the past week, since the torture, Jung Hyuk had been gaining his senses bit by bit.
Agust had not told So Hee to keep torturing the Lycan, but he also hadn't told her to free him. That was a balance that So Hee hadn't expected, even when each time she passed by the former king's dungeon, too.
She had made a conscious decision to keep her business with Jung Hyuk, just what brought her to the dungeons. She couldn't lean into the curiosity that was staring at her as to why Agust had left the king alive even after all these years.
