1. 63. Exposed
2. Night of the wedding
3. "A golden turtle?!"
4. "Yes. It is the one caught from the indangsu river."
5. "That's not just any turtle, but the child of the dragon king."
6. "Did anything unusual happen when you were capturing it?"
7. "No... Nothing out of the ordinary..."
8. "Whatever. You have to return it at once. If this continues..."
9. "Ah, we can't do that."
10. "What?"
11. "We can't do that. The turtle has already been..."
12. "Boiled into soup, and fed to the minister."
13. "Hearing that it could help with virility, the minister asked for it to be served before consummation..."
14. "Hahahaha! So that's why the minister is lying here!"
15. "You...! How dare you laugh at the minister?!"
16. "You'll be given a beating if you continue to laugh!"
17. "How am I supposed to not laugh?!"
18. "Lusting after a young bride, can't believe he'd eat just about anything to help improve virility!"
19. "Then... Is there a way to fix this?"
20. "The child is already dead, how can there be any way to fix this?"
21. "There is no way! Not unless you cut open his stomach and remove it!"
22. "So..."
1. "You want to offer up a bride for the dragon king to birth another child?"
2. "Yes, exactly."
3. "There has long since been the tradition of offering virgins to the river gods."
4. "I, too know that it is cruel to do this, but we are left with no other alternative."
5. "But..."
6. "Who is going to jump into the indangsu river?"
7. "So..."
8. The responsibility fell onto the shoulders of the bride who had brought the golden turtle,
9. But the nanny would not allow it no matter what.
10. ""Absolutely not!""
11. ""This marriage between miss and the minister has already been consummated!""
12. ""She is no longer a virgin. She is already the minister's wife, how can she be the sacrifice?""
13. Back then.. I had brushed it off as the squabbling of those of high status,
14. "But I never imagined that you'd drag cheong into this!"
15. "I have been forced into silence for a very long time. I also worry that you might not believe me,"
16. "But there's no reason for me to keep quiet anymore."
17. "Cheong, do you understand? This woman is tricking you into taking her place as the sacrifice."
18. "Whatever she told you about loving you are all lies!"
