Work was getting ahead of me in the palace, and I had to spend more time away from home. But I made sure that she gave me her full attention on the days I did come home. It was a miracle my father didn't catch onto anything but he really didn't care about what Yeon was up to as she was always home anyway. But she was still torn between herself and her brother and she was keeping to herself a lot more. So I had no choice but to make her start cooking for me in front of him to make sure she couldn't distance herself away from me, and she in turn had no choice to obey. We still had our private moments; I wasn't about to give that up for anything in the world, but it was hard for both of us. But I had somehow managed to lift her restrictions and she was allowed out of the house a little more.
