Chapter 161
Kyaaah—!
A sharp scream rang through the rugged mountain air.
Fish that had slipped from the dropped net flailed and slapped against the rocks.
“Ah... Aah...”
Choryeon looked around at the men surrounding her, eyes full of fear.
Imperial Guards. Martial officials sent from the imperial palace.
One of the guards stepped forward.
He looked down at her, shivering and collapsed on the ground, and sneered.
“You managed to run for quite a while, but this ends today. Come quietly. The imperial court will judge your crimes.”
Though he spoke of judgment, there was only one sentence that awaited her upon returning to the palace.
Beheading.
She had assassinated a royal prince. They would never allow her to live.
