As Hwayeong listed these possibilities with unnerving nonchalance, Sohwa looked at her and muttered,
“Lady Hwajin seems even more remarkable now.”
“Why?”
“For enduring all the things you’ve done to her and still finding the energy to keep causing trouble.”
Thinking back to not just the snake incident but all the other petty troubles, Sohwa remarked.
“If it were me, I’d never pick a fight with you, Milady.”
To this, Hwayeong gave a brisk and confident reply.
“Well, she wouldn’t be my sister otherwise.”
Hearing this, Sohwa let out a small, astonished laugh, as if everything finally made sense.
If one were to sum up the relationship between Hwayeong and Hwajin, it could only be described as a constant cycle of mischief and retaliation.
From a certain age, Hwajin repeatedly caused trouble that put Hwayeong in difficult situations.
And each time, Hwayeong responded with vengeance so extreme it left Hwajin shaken to her core.
