Chapter 121: The Phoenix (3)
Chapter 121 < The Phoenix (3). >
(This time, its the beach Princess Lee Seo-eun, Cheon-o Groups Seong Hyun-woos midnight date)
(The princess couple, who have been quietly dating for three months, will they be reborn as the couple of the century?)
Lee Seo-eun and Seong Hyun-woos contract date continued.
The places they went became dating spots and attracted crowds. Ne/w novel chapters are published on no/vel(/bin(.)co/m
There were even favorable analysis articles saying that the princess couple was boosting the domestic market.
What the hell!
In the palace, some maids passing by were startled by the sound of someone making a fuss. They soon realized that it was the princes palace and pretended not to notice.
How is this possible? Just by dating one guy, her approval rating goes up?
Its not impossible. They both had good images to begin with.
Royal Secretary.
Im just stating the objective facts. You should have behaved better in the first place.
Despite his somewhat rude words, Lee Kang didnt say anything to him. The royal secretary was the son of a nanny maid and was like a brother to Lee Kang.
But why do you hate the princess?
Shes annoying! She doesnt know her place and acts up.
The truth was, he felt inferior when he saw that Lee Seo-eun could do anything easily while he couldnt.
Anyway, the next emperor will be yours. Do you need to have a solid base?
With a snake-like face, he spoke softly and reassured Lee Kang.
Its fun to see them delude themselves and suffer from false hope, isnt it?
Thats true.
He had to admit that it made sense. Seeing Lee Kangs mood soften, the royal secretary looked at him with a strange gaze.
Your Highness, how about this?
He whispered in Lee Kangs ear with a cunning expression.
And Lee Seo-eun, who fell into Lee Kang and the royal secretarys scheme, was trying to avoid the reporters interviews and enter the palace.
Is it true that you assaulted someone this morning?
The victims side says they will sue you, how do you feel about that?
There is a speculation that the victim is the ex-lover of Cheon-o Groups Seong Hyun-woo, was it a love triangle fight?
As a clich, the couple who were doing well faced hardship and adversity. The royal secretary, who had bribed a woman who secretly had a crush on Seong Hyun-woo, set up a clever trap.
The bribed woman provoked Lee Seo-eun by mentioning Seong Hyun-woo, and Lee Seo-eun, who had been patient, was just trying to help her when she was about to fall, but the CCTV showed that Lee Seo-eun was assaulting and pushing her at a perfect angle.
The person who claimed to be the victim was interviewing with all kinds of media and said they would sue Lee Seo-eun.
Are you okay?
Lee Seo-eun, who barely entered her room, sighed as she looked at Choi, the maid who asked her carefully.
Its not me.
Of course, I know its not. Dont worry. Were still investigating on our side.
But people dont believe that. Lee Seo-eun walked shakily and lay down on the bed. The media was constantly debating the abolition of the royal family, and in the process, Lee Seo-euns incidents and accidents that she didnt even do were brought up. She was exhausted from trying to keep up appearances.
Its really not me
Itll be cleared up soon, dont worry too much. Lets watch TV, shall we?
Choi, who was trying to cheer up Lee Seo-eun, deliberately pressed the remote control with an exaggerated tone.
(The assault incident of Princess Lee Seo-eun that happened this morning in Cheongdam-dong)
Change the channel.
Huh? Just a moment.
Choi turned up the TV volume instead.
(What do you think of the assault incident of your lover, Princess Lee Seo-eun?)
(Its not worth answering.)
Lee Seo-eun, who had pulled the blanket over her head, suddenly sat up and fixed her eyes on the TV. He was wearing a neat suit and had his hair half-tied back, but the only difference was that his expression, which was always smiling, was grim.
(Were you acquainted with the victim, as we heard? Was it a love triangle fight?)
Cut!
Seong Hyun-woo stared at Lee Seo-euns back as she ran away. And he gazed at the door she left for a long time. When the directors cut sign was heard, Yoo Yeon-seo closed his tired eyes.
Hyun-woo (sitting in front of Seo-eun and looking up at her face) Because I like you, Your Highness?
It might sound cheesy if you just read the script. But it was the actors role to make the dialogue and the situation appealing. When he delivered this line, he had to mix half of it with playfulness and half of it with seriousness.
The director and Shin Ye-won, who were watching the monitor, looked satisfied, but Yoo Yeon-seo furrowed his brow. It didnt come out as he intended, and he thought he could do better if he filmed it one more time.
Should we do it again?
The assistant director looked at his watch. It was a pre-produced drama, so the schedule was relaxed, and there was still time left for filming. The director looked at Shin Ye-won.
Its really good now But if Ye-won and Yeon-seo want to, lets do it one more time.
Im sorry. Sister, lets do it one more time.
Shin Ye-won nodded agreeably.
And Lee Seo-eun, along with Choi Sang-gung, investigated the scene of the incident early in the morning to clear her name.
That car It was on the CCTV, right?
Yes, oh! The black box!
After pleading with the car owner, Lee Seo-eun and Choi Sang-gung secured the video and uploaded it to the video platform.
(Who is responsible for the malicious public opinion manipulation against Princess Lee Seo-eun?)
(Princess Lee Seo-euns assault was not true. It was just a good intention to catch her from falling)
The victim, who had threatened to sue the princess through the media until yesterday, disappeared. And public opinion changed.
Criticism of those who instigated the assault, sympathy for Lee Seo-eun, and favorable reactions to Seong Hyun-woo, who had believed in her until the end.
After solving all the problems, Lee Seo-eun answered the phone that rang for the first time in a long time.
What? You didnt answer my calls.
(Oh, Im sorry. I was busy with something urgent. But wasnt it you who didnt answer after that?)
Lee Seo-euns face turned red as she ran out of words.
So, what happened to that woman?
(Are you jealous?)
What do you mean?
Seong Hyun-woo was surprised by the unexpected answer and soon smiled pleasantly.
(Oh did you?)
Why are you laughing?
(Actually, I was busy with that matter.)
Dont worry if its a false accusation. Ive solved everything.
(Did you find out who ordered it? I found out something interesting.)
While they were out of touch, Seong Hyun-woo investigated the person who claimed to be the victim, the reporter who wrote malicious articles, and the relationship with Lee Kang. Lee Seo-eun didnt hesitate to reveal the truth.
(The prince Lee Kang was behind the malicious public opinion against the princess.)
(Who is Lee Kang? The notorious playboy of the royal familyhis approval rating plummeted to the 10% range)
Did you have to do that to Lee Kang?
I hate being insulted for something I didnt do.
Seo-eun hes your brother.
So you want me to ignore him attacking me?
And the confrontation between the emperor and Lee Seo-eun begins.
When Lee Seo-eun and Seong Hyun-woo confirmed their feelings and started a real relationship instead of a contract, another crisis came.
Wow, our sister. Your face is blooming since youre dating.
Nothing more to say? Im leaving.
Seong Hyun-woo, dont trust that bastard too much.
What?
Lee Kang, who succeeded in distracting Lee Seo-euns attention, smirked and stabbed a wedge.
Didnt you know that our dad and Seong Hyun-woo made a contract for your marriage?
