Eunbi was stupified when Lalisa made Jeongguk sit away from her. She was so happy earlier that Jeongguk came to sit with her leaving Lalisa behind.
But instead of feeling sad, that bitch sat with Mingyu. She did this on purpose to provoke Jeongguk. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cared about her.
But the surprising thing was that Jeongguk didn't say anything to her when she ignored Jeongguk just now when she sat with Mingyu. She shamelessly sat with another man ignoring her husband.
She thought that Lalisa was stupid to do this, but now she understood her trick. She was trying to provoke Jeongguk so that he would get jealous that she sat with another man.
' This bitch is too sly. She pretends to be innocent but plays such dirty tricks from behind.'
She was shocked at the way Jeongguk behaved today. He didn't say anything to her instead he followed her command and shifted to the side when she asked him to do so.
' Why suddenly he became so docile to her? What had happened between them that Jeongguk is behaving so strangely?'
Eunbi glanced at Lalisa and saw how her face was glowing and she was looking much more beautiful than before.
She remembered the day when she and Sandara barged into their room and how she was clinging to him. That scene still haunts her.
She felt uncomfortable thinking about what would have happened between them that Jeongguk treated her so preciously.
Eunbi was confused with his behavior. Was he always like that? How can she not see that Jeongguk could be so calm and submissive?
But she hates that he was being this way only with Lalisa. He always talked to her coldly and she has never seen him smiling at her the way he does to Lalisa.
Since Lalisa woke up from the coma, he was treating her like a treasure and his attitude towards her has changed a lot.
He suddenly became so clear and open about his feelings than before. In the past, he wasn't like that.
He was not very open about his feelings and was very reserved.
And their relationship hasn't progressed much because he immediately went to war after his marriage and remains busy with his palace affairs.
Moreover, she and Sandara were there to not let them have a conversation or let them solve their issues. Eunbi was worried that if they talked properly, then her tricks will be revealed.
She knows how Jeongguk feels towards her because he has clearly told her before marriage that he likes someone else and could not love anyone else. If he were to marry her, it would be only for the alliance and nothing else.
Eunbi was upset at that time but decided to think otherwise. She thought that she would make him love her because no man could resist her charm.
But he didn't fall for her. She was successful in getting the favor of Sandara and also saw his unexplainable feelings towards Lalisa.
Due to his personality, he was not the type to express himself which led Lalisa to misunderstand many things.
Eunbi did everything in her power to separate them and never let them talk clearly.
Because of their lack of communication and confusion and problems created by Eunbi between them, it was easier for her to brainwash Lalisa.
She always pretended in front of her to be an innocent and naive girl who likes her and treats her like a sister.
In front of Lalisa, Eunbi pretends to be helpless because of Sandara's biased behavior.
Lalisa also used to believe her words and thinks that it was not Eunbi's fault that Sandara likes her more than her.
Eunbi always pretended in front of Lalisa that Jeongguk spends many nights with her in her room or many times she went to his room.
But the truth is, Jeongguk barely went to her chamber and whenever he went, nothing happened between them. When he doesn't come to her room, she makes Lalisa see her going to Jeongguk's room so that she will think that they are going to sleep together.
In truth, he never touched her. He has told her this before marriage that he doesn't love her, so it will be impossible for him to reciprocate her feelings.
At that time, Eunbi still managed to get married to him and thought that she would make him mine after marriage, but he never consummated their marriage.
But in front of Lalisa, she always pretended to show how much Jeongguk tortured her that she felt weak in her legs.
And Lalisa believes her lies. She never doubted that she might be lying. The truth she was seeing was not the full truth
After Lalisa woke up from the coma, Jeongguk didn't let her do anything and she didn't get a chance to sow discord between them. Instead, he has become clear-headed and seems like he started to be suspicious over her.
Also, Lalisa herself became so clear-headed and confident that it has become hard for her to talk to her.
She always speaks back to her and even Sandara couldn't control her either. She was surprised at the Banquet and the way she speaks to her these days.
She never loses a chance to make sarcastic remarks.
Now even, Jeongguk has given her powers as well.
She is not an unwanted Empress anymore. Eunbi was worried that she may equal scores with her if this goes on like this.
Now she has powers and Jeongguk's trust as well. She is worried that her life will become hard if things go like this.
....
Eunbi pursed her lips when Lalisa came to sit beside her. She turned to look at her and smiled forcefully.
" Sister, you have something to talk to me?" she asked Lalisa when she settled beside her.
" Hmm?" Lalisa glanced at her questioningly. She fixed her dress as she looked at Eunbi in confusion.
" - _-"
" Didn't you say you have something to talk to me about? What is it?" Eunbi gritted her teeth and forced the words out.
She hated it when Lalisa pretends to be oblivious when she knows everything.
" Oh. About that. I do have something to talk to you about. " Lalisa looked at her and said seriously. The mild smile on her face making her look more enchanting under the bright lights of the palace.
The palace was brightened with lanterns everywhere. The colorful clothes draped around pillars and the flowers placed in every corner made the palace more fragrant.
Eunbi's expressions turned dull when she heard Lalisa's words and curved her lips in, ' OH'.
She thought that Lalisa was just provoking her and that's why she came to sit between her and Jeongguk. But what does she have to talk with me?
" What is it? " Eunbi tried to smile as she questioned her. But her tone was not supporting her expressions.
Jeongguk also turned to look at Lalisa and waited for her response. He thought the same as Eunbi and believed that she didn't have anything to say and separated him from Eunbi because she was jealous.
But in reality, she truly needs to talk with Eunbi.
" Consort Eunbi, actually,...actually leave it. This kind of conversation is not suitable for this kind of occasion. I will talk about it later." Lalisa smiled at Eunbi as she stopped talking.
Jeongguk frowned and asked, " Lalisa, what is it? "
" No. It's nothing. It's not suitable to talk in this feast. We should start eating. What are we waiting for? Let's start the feast "Lalisa smiled like she does not want to say at this moment.
She tried to change the topic as she glanced at the servant who was standing at the side to serve tea and snacks for everyone.
They were planning to have some tea and snacks to go with them first before the actual dinner.
Mingyu raised his brows and glanced at Eunbi. Lalisa's words were indicating that something was wrong.
Eunbi noticed Jeongguk and Mingyu were looking at her strangely. She glared at Lalisa and clutched her fists.
Lalisa was trying to everyone misunderstand her with her half-spoken words.
" Sister. What is it? You can say whatever you want to say. Here everyone is family, you don't need to hesitate like this.'' She urged Lalisa to speak.
Seeing Lalisa's behavior, it was evident that she was just pretending to talk to her and wanted to move Jeongguk away.
She was just making lame excuses. But due to her strange behavior, Mingyu and Jeongguk were thinking that she had done something and Lalisa was trying to hide it by not talking in front of them.
