Chapter 18: 3. The Returned Child
Chapter 3. The Returned Child
The dinner that had been arranged with Namgoong Mucheon was prepared at the Clan Head’s residence, where he lived.
After washing thoroughly and changing into the clothes provided by the Namgoong Clan, Ilhwa made her way toward the residence.
The interior of the Clan Head’s quarters was not much different from what she had seen in her previous life.
The flower beds were full of deep crimson poppies in bloom, and towering willow trees hung gracefully over the edge of the large pond.
It was the very same garden she had described when she first entered Namgoong, trying to prove her identity.
"Come in."
The meal was set near the pavilion by the pond.
Namgoong Mucheon greeted her.
Standing behind him was Seop Mugwang, and aside from a single servant attending the meal, no one else was present.
"Sit comfortably. I've dismissed the servants—no need to feel pressured."
"Thank you for your consideration."
