The horse carriage traveled from the palace to Taehyung's manor.

Inside the horse carriage, Seorin poked Taehyung's arm. "Orabeoni, why didn't you let me visit Consort Jung's chamber?"

"Why do you want to go there?" Taehyung asked. "Aren't you scared of her dull company?"

Of course, Seorin didn't believe Taehyung's excuse.

Taehyung hugged Seorin. "Little tigress, in the future when we're summoned to the palace stay away from Consort Jung unless it's necessary to talk her."

"Why?" Seorin asked.

"I'm scared you'll be fooled by her," Taehyung said.

Seorin suppressed her temper. "Fifth prince, is there anything else?"

"Of course," Taehyung said. "You can't impulsively eat, believe, and bully other people. Mainly eat more and speak less. You only need to laugh and act foolish... wait, you don't need to act foolish, being yourself is enough."

Taehyung gently knocked on Seorin's head. She caught his hand and bit him. Her heart remembered his advice clearly, it knew behind the teasing tone was a deeper meaning.

After they returned to Taehyung's manor, Seorin wanted to rest in their chamber but he stopped her.

"Wait, I want you to meet someone in the manor," Taehyung said.

Seorin was suspicious of who Taehyung wanted her to meet. But she kept quiet because he looked serious.

Taehyung's manor was located north of the palace. There was an artificial lake, beautiful gardens, and elegant chambers.

Taehyung led Seorin through the gardens. They stopped in front of a secluded chamber at the back of the manor. She could smell many herbal scents even before the door was opened.

Taehyung looked at a young man dressed in black clothes and who carried bottles of remedies.

"This is Min Yoongi, the manor's physician," Taehyung said.

"Orabeoni, why do you want me to meet the physician?" Seorin asked.

Taehyung laughed. "He's a physician and also my friend."
